Agatha Christie meets sci-fi in Murder on Space Station 52
Solo developer Made From Strings and publisher Dionous Games have announced the upcoming release of their point-and-click murder mystery game, Murder On Space Station 52. Set in a sci-fi noir world where players must track down the Keychain Killer. The game features an investigative murder board, a diverse cast of suspects, and classic point-and-click puzzles as players work to solve the mystery. Central to the story is Edward Locke, a new repairman who finds himself trapped on a mysterious space station inhabited by unusual characters, including a killer who leaves bodies with keys in their wounds.

The game involves collecting evidence, questioning suspects, and using a murder board to piece together clues to catch the Keychain Killer. Players can also earn in-game currency by exploring the station or completing tasks, which can be used to customise their apartment and aquarium.

- Challenging puzzles that test players’ problem-solving skills.
