Murdered: Soul Suspect

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a 2014 action-adventure stealth video game developed by Airtight Games and Square Enix. The game was released in June 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The game is played in a third-person view as the player navigates the protagonist, detective Ronan O'Connor, around a fictionalized version of Salem, Massachusetts. The story centers on Ronan as he hunts down an infamous serial killer known as the Bell Killer. After being killed by the Bell Killer at the beginning of the game, Ronan returns as a ghost. He is then informed by his long-dead wife, Julia, that he must solve the Bell Killer mystery so he can rejoin her. Murdered: Soul Suspect received an average reception upon release; most of the criticism centered around the poor combat, short length, lack of replay value, and lack of difficulty. The game did, however, receive praise for some aspects of its story and its original concept.
