THERE’S BEEN A MURDER (mystery)!

Bryunsville, 2063. In the dingy, skink-infested streets of the Flatpack District, the three gangs are called to a meeting. Then, a MURDER! Everyone is suspicious. Everyone is a suspect. Bribe and betray, coax and coerce, to find out who the killer is — or deflect attention away from the cyber-skeletons in your own closet…

With backstories, secrets, and objectives unique to each character, this cooperative role playing game is different every time you play! The game is built with 6, 9, and 12 player options, and is suitable for ages 16+. Available soon!

From the creators of the scifi-noir comedy audiobook, “The Dystopian Detective Agency,” comes an immersive, scifi-noir comedy role-playing game, The Dystopian Detective Murder Mystery: A Cyperpunk Sleuthing Adventure!
