Created by a team of five, Tell Tale Heart brings Edgar Allan Poe’s short story to life as a top-down, 3D murder mystery game. Players take control of an officer and wander the house in search of items that may be related to the disappearance of an old man. An item is deemed useful when the faint sound of the Tell Tale Heart increases, driving the suspect mad. Players win once they pick enough correct items to make the suspect confess and reveal the location of the Tell Tale Heart. Keys to Play: Arrow keys to navigate around the scene. Space Bar to open doors. Click on objects and the suspect for interaction.

Diversifiers

Approved for All Audiences: The game must not show any violence, not even cartoonish. Stepping on living mushrooms is off the list, as is killing any type of enemies, not even undead, though we know they’re already dead…
