Adventure Game for Puzzle Fans

Murder by Numbers is a PC adventure game developed by Mediatonic and published by The Irregular Corporation Limited. It blends nonogram-style pixel puzzles with a visual-novel murder mystery set in 1996 Los Angeles. Players follow actress Honor Mizrahi and the robot SCOUT as they investigate a series of killings across TV studios and drag clubs. The game requires a Steam account for activation and play.

Steady Pacing Across a Long Case

The experience unfolds at a consistent narrative pace rather than in short bursts of action. Players alternate between solving logic puzzles to uncover clues and using those clues during dialogue-heavy interrogations. The story progresses through multiple chapters, each introducing new locations and suspects, so engagement relies on sustained attention to plot and deduction rather than reflexes or timed challenges.

Digital Delivery with Full Localisation

The product is a downloadable Steam code supplied in new condition, so there is no physical media to store or drive to maintain. The game includes full English and Japanese support for spoken dialogue, subtitles, and menus, ensuring the script-heavy mystery remains accessible in both languages. A stable internet connection is needed only for the initial activation and any subsequent updates.

Questions about this item

Does the Steam version need a permanent internet link after the first activation?

Steam requires an online check the first time you redeem the code; after that the game can be launched in Offline Mode once the licence is cached.

What accounts or services must exist before the code can be used?

A free Steam account is the only prerequisite; the supplied key is redeemed through the Steam client or website.

Will the 1996-era pixel art and nonogram logic run on a machine that only meets Steam's current minimum spec?

The title is a 2-D adventure with modest 2-D assets, so any PC that satisfies Steam's baseline requirements will run it without issue.
