Gameplay

The game is played from Carla’s perspective. There are many different types of tasks in the game.

Hidden object scenes

Throughout the game, the player needs to investigate different scenes, by looking for objects in them. In each scene investigated, there is an object which progresses the story. Unlike other hidden object games, there can be multiple objects of the same kind (like rings), and it's possible that another action is required to be done before an object is found (like opening a cabinet, or collecting another object). Those objects are marked back-screen. When looking for objects in the same scene again, the objects which have been collected previously are removed.

Comics

When bigger conversations and events take place, they are represented by comics. Like with the rest of the game, the comics are available in multiple languages (currently English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean), but voice-overs are only available in English.

Mini-games

Whenever some more complex action is supposed to be completed, it's presented as a mini-game. Mini-games can range from fixing wiring, to exiting a maze, to playing blackjack. They aren't obligatory, as they can be skipped, but that takes away from the player's Energy.

Choices

In the heart of the story, you will have several choices to make. For example, it may be which character will accompany you or what you will do first. These choices influence the rest of the story on some points but the final scenario remains the same.

Murder By Choice Memories Guide

What are Memories

The new Memories in the game has 5 sections covering 5 main characters. Each is a small side story covering events from a characters perspective that occurred before or during the main story but that we did not experience as we were playing as Carla.

The sections are:

Q - Miraculous and Q

Mrs. Bird - Sins of the Past

Portia - Portia's Scheme

Jax - Jax's One-night Stand

Margot - Murderer's Path

Each of these is broken down into 3 or more Acts that you need to unlock in order to play through. To open each Act you need tro collect Shards.

How to get Shards

There are 2 ways to get shards in Murder by Choice. The first is to buy them in the shop, this is the quick way to do it but will cost quite a lot of money to cover all of the memories in the game.

The second is through playing the new Memory Map game. This is a hidden object puzzle game with a variety of levels that let you earn shards for completing puzzles and levels.

Memory Map

The memory Map is found in the Memories Screen. This is a hidden object mini game with various areas to unlock and lots of items to find. The game a range of zones and modes to explore as well as modifiers that are added to make the puzzles more challenging.

You can play Hidden Object Scenes to find items and earn rewards. Each scene that you want to play will cost you either 1 Memory Ticket or Energy if you don't have any tickets available. You will each more tickets from completing scenes. And you will also gain a free ticket after 24 hours if you don't have any remaining.

To complete each hidden object scene puzzle you need to finding all of the items within the time limit. Doing this will earn you some shards and XP. The XP will then increase your level in the game. As you level up you can earn more shards and other items.

If you run out of time you can use Booster Tokens to add an extra 30 seconds on to the time. If you do not find all of the items then you will fail the level but you will still earn a small number of shards and XP.

When you start a new puzzles the game will randomly select a Zone, a Mode and a Modifier for the scene to give you a different experience each time.

Zones

The memory map is divided into zones. There are areas of an overall background image containing hundreds of random memory items. At the start you will only have access to the central zone. You can unlock further zones with Keys that you will get from leveling up at certain points. The first is when you reach level 5.

In each puzzle that you face you will be in one of the zones that you have unlocked so far. This is chosen at random but you can re roll this choice for a chance of changing it. This will cost you Energy.

Modes

There are 3 modes that you can get assigned for each scene you play.

Classic - This is a normal listing of the hidden objects that you need to find, you will see up to 6 names of the items listed on the screen and you can find any of them to progress.

Pairs - Similar to the classic mode with names on the screen, but you need to find a two of each item mentioned before moving on to another item. This can be much harder.

Silhouettes - The names are replaced by shapes of the items you need to find, e.g. instead of the word Banana you will see a banana shape.

As with the Zones, you can choose to re-roll the mode that you are assigned before starting the scene. This costs Energy.
