About Murder 👑

Murder is a unique, tense, and incredibly clever single-button strategy and skill game. The core gameplay loop involves you, the Vizier, trying to assassinate the sleeping King from behind with a single, quick stab. The catch is that the King wakes up periodically and looks behind him. If he catches you with your dagger out, it's game over! The brilliance of Murder Unbanned lies in its psychological tension and timing challenge. You must balance the risk of taking too long (which causes you to fail) with the certainty of being caught if you stab at the wrong moment. The comparison to other timing-based games is strong, but the high-stakes narrative and single-button control give it a distinct flavor. A key strategy is to listen for the subtle sound cue and watch the King’s slow head turn for the perfect moment.

How to Play Murder 🗡️

Playing Murder Unbanned only requires one button: the Spacebar or the Left Mouse Button. You press and hold the button to slowly pull out your dagger and charge your attack. The moment you release the button, you stab. The key to success is micro-timing. Wait until the King's eyes are fully closed and he is completely turned away from you. The moment he starts to turn his head back, you must stop charging or you will be caught. If successful, you become the new King, and the former King's body is replaced by the Vizier, who will now try to murder you! Murder Unbanned is a fantastic test of your patience and nerve. Can you achieve the perfect assassination and sit on the throne?
