That said, the overall story of Murdered: Soul Suspect is satisfyingly creepy, offering uncomfortable moments similar to that of the Silent Hill series. The game also attempts to call back to Salem's dark past during the Witch Trials of the 17 century, but most of these sections fail to make an impact. The many twisting and turning plot points make this an exciting murder mystery, even if it's a linear one that's easy to solve through trial and error. It's a good thing then, that the story in Murdered: Soul Suspect is intriguing, as it's the main motivator to keep you on the hunt. Now stuck investigating his own murder as a ghost, Ronan must use his new powers to solve the case and uncover the Bell Killer's identity before his untimely death is brushed aside. As Ronan gets close to uncovering a major breakthrough in the case, he is shot and killed by the Bell Killer, transferring his consciousness into the afterlife. In Murdered: Soul Suspect, you play as detective Ronan O'Connor, who is investigating a string of killings committed by a murderer only known as “the Bell Killer”.

Although it lacks some action and narrative consequences for failure, Murdered: Soul Suspect is a surprisingly gripping story of crime and law.

This new spectral form gives the detective a ton of fun abilities, allowing him to further hunt a brutal serial killer across town. However, things get more complex when he is killed at the beginning of the game, forcing him to continue the case as a ghost. In the game, you play as a detective attempting to solve a murder in Salem, Massachusetts. Murdered: Soul Suspect presents an interesting twist on the murder-mystery formula, making it stand out from the rest of the pack despite its shortcomings.
