On the left, the words Murder Meet Cute is held within a 90s computer window box. A woman with white hair sitting at a PC with a 90s CRT monitor, looks over her shoulder at you judgingly. The computer has a creepy eyeball and blood dripping from the screen.

Finally got round to playing the @murdermeetcute.com demo and it's everything I wanted from the OS style of game. While the demo is short, I'm so ready for the full game when it launches 🙌🏻

We've really enjoyed reading all of your reviews of the Murder Meet Cute demo so far. Here's some of our favorites 😂
Haven't played a lot of games like this but it sounds but it sounded cool so I downloaded the demo and then got angry when it ended, so how's that for a high rating? Looking forward to the rest.This demo gives you a great sampler of various mechanics and the overall aesthetic for the game!! There's a great foundation and still variety on top of that that I'm curious to see how it plays out in the full thing! I'm really looking forward to the full release, and greatly appreciate all the accessibility settings. I love snooping through computers 👀
ALSO please check out the website for a bonus easter egg that I constnatly think about!!!!! It's SO GOOD!!!LOVED THIS! I was literally so shocked at the ending of the DEMO after getting so quickly invested in this story! I can't wait for the full release!!It is short but sets things up really well, shows how nosey we all really are (I won't believe anyone who says they didn't go through EVERY folder just to see what's there), and gives enough to leave you wanting more. Can't wait for the full game to come out!

This is very special to me as this community was, in a lot of ways, a big inspiration for our game but also for what we wanted to put in our game! Learning that while in Brighton of all things is just the best 💖
