Ronan can possess every person you see walking on the street, but often they repeat their thoughts and it’s meaningless.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a game that appears to give you choice but really there’s only one singular path. It’s no surprise that combat is so sequential because the game itself is so linear. A major criticism I have for this game is that battling demons is literally the only combat you will see in the entire game, and as they follow a set path they’re extremely easy to kill. There are also other citizens trapped as spirits, you can help them solve their murders and find enough peace to pass over to the other side.Īs a ghost you have several abilities possession, teleportation and exorcising demons. As Ronan, you must find all of these clues and figure out what happened, all while finding artefacts that point towards Salem’s dark past.

Noire type investigative areas in several locations such as apartment crime scenes, break-ins, and street shootings. The investigation leads to a local church to find a young medium, Joy, who witnessed Ronan’s murder and can see ghosts. Ronan investigates his murder, and gains instruction into his new ghostly abilities from the ghost of Abigail, a young Puritan-era girl. She informs him that he cannot join her in the realm of the afterlife until he completes the unfinished business binding him to the living world. Returning in the form of a ghost, Ronan meets the spirit of his long-dead wife, Julia. The perpetrator, known as the Bell Killer, finishes Ronan off by shooting him seven times in the chest.

We begin with Ronan being thrown out of a window by the brutal and relentless serial murderer he was pursuing. In games usually death is the end of the story, but in this tale it’s only the beginning.

The game is played in a third-person view as the player navigates the protagonist, detective Ronan O’Connor, around the town of Salem. Murdered: Soul Suspect is an adventure stealth video game developed by Airtight Games and published in 2014 by Square Enix. “Seeing your own body lying in the street… it’s like looking in a mirror that you don’t want to see but can’t turn away from.”
