Murder Diaries 3 – Santa’s Trail of Blood

In this game you abstractly follow the narration of a young man who slowly but surely becomes insane.

This leads you straight into the middle of an exciting murder case and a murder mystery unfolds while you listen to the testimonies of witness, friends and relatives.

The whole game is somewhat Christmas flavoured – however, don’t get yourself comfortable, the game not going to give you a nice and warm feeling but rather confront you with a cold and harsh reality as the thrilling storytelling of the game will leave you with a cold shiver down your spine.

The game is a must have for any true fan of thrillers and anyone how enjoys a murder mystery that goes beyond the normal story telling.

How does the gameplay work?

• You will play as a free-floating ghost like creature.
• Basically, as the soul of someone who is experiencing the story.
• You are very small in comparison to the surroundings and can fly freely through the area.
• You start by exploring the area and enjoying the feeling of flying as well as the gentle yet mysterious background music.
• Soon after starting to explore, you will find the first memory piece.
• You can collect the memory pieces to continue with the story and to advance with the overall narration.
• The story talks about a young boy, about his live and about how everything changes. It is setup as a thrilling murder mystery and acts as a contrast to the somewhat calm and enjoyable gameplay.
• The first levels are quite straight forward but the further you advance the more surreal and abstracted the levels become.
• Once you have finished a chapter by collecting all memory pieces and finishing the overall story of a level you will continue into the next chapter.
