Murder by Numbers

Murder by Numbers successfully blends a Phoenix Wright-style visual novel with a Picross-style puzzle game by making each aspect great in its own right.

Shades of Picross and Phoenix Wright blend together in this unlikely but utterly lovable genre mash-up.

A vibrant mystery adventure but maybe not for you if you're picky about picross.

Murder by Numbers has all the logic of picross with the look and feel of your favorite childhood cartoon.

While both aspects of Murder By Numbers are pretty good, neither of them are given enough space to really breathe.

Murder By Numbers successfully manages to combine an entertainingly wacky series of whodunnit mysteries starring a properly entertaining cast of characters with some excellent puzzling that'll keep Picross fans happy for a good long while.

An exciting and well-executed puzzle title that should certainly be experienced once, even if you're just in it for how impossibly cool all the characters look.

Murder by Numbers is a game for people who enjoy playing nonogram/Picross puzzles.

Murder by Numbers masterfully combines visual novel with puzzle aspects. With a interesting story and charismatic and well-developed characters, the game also offers fun for picross fans with a good dose of puzzles along the way.

Overall this is a game no fan of Picross (or nonograms) should miss. It is just as essential as Jupiter’s Picross-e and Picross-s series.
