unlabelledView post →10. Murder By Numbers Absolutely PHENOMENAL game! I love how they integrate Picross into this detective title naturally. I love the 90s setting paired with the humor of the game and the memorable cast. Such a great time and highly recommend if you're a detective and Picross fan!

unlabelledView post →Some thoughts on Murder By Numbers, a mystery/Picross puzzle game known to me primarily as that thing that Moa did after Hatoful Boyfriend! I have mixed thoughts including the stupidest criticism of a Picross game ever. You'll think I'm an idiot. Brace yourself.
unlabelledView post →was recommending games to someone and realized I never hear anyone talk about Murder By Numbers, which is like what if Phoenix Wright had Picross in it and was gay? That game got me into both Picross AND Phoenix Wright. Go play www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

unlabelledView post →I should have talked about it sooner, but any picross fan owe it to themselves to play Murder By Numbers. Let me give you the sales pitch: Do you like picross? Do you like Ace Attorney/Phoenix Wright? Do you like the 90s? Well this is the game for you. Just finished it myself #blutoid
unlabelledView post →Every two years, I get the urge to play a Nonogram game. Pokemon and Mario Picrosses, Murder by Numbers, Picross S Genesis+Master System… So it’s a very well-timed coincidence that Squeakross, a new take on a Picross mashup, just happens to release right before this year’s bug bit me.
unlabelledView post →Hello, I'm Dorian. I work as a Game Designer at Mediatonic/Epic Games. I worked on Murder by Numbers which is free on the Epic store right now! #GameDev
unlabelledView post →Yo Murder by Numbers shout out! That's the game that got me into Picross and nonograms
unlabelledView post →Almost finished Murder By Numbers and I really can't stand the game flow anymore. It got so tired by the end of the first case and it kept going.
unlabelledView post →= LIVE! = your days are numbered (haha getit) streamin' a game i've actually seen NOTHING of!! so this is gonna be a completely new experience for me, -w- join us for some Murder by Numbers !!!!! www.twitch.tv/rustyfoxxo
unlabelledView post →@edfear.co.uk hey Ed, I do game dev interviews and I love love love Murder by Numbers, if you’d be interested in doing an interview about your work on the game, DM or email me!
unlabelledView post →If she likes puzzlers I’ll say Murder By Numbers was my plane game for a while.
unlabelledView post →Did anyone else play Murder by Numbers, the murder mystery picross/nonogram game by Mediatonic? I'm heartbroken that there's no sequel, or even any game quite like it.
unlabelledView post →I really like the representation in Murder By Numbers which is a picross mixed with visual novel game. There is even one case that happens in a drag bar. And the drag queen there... love her!
unlabelledView post →Murder by Numbers is a story-based Picross game/visual novel. It's a detective story where you do Picross puzzles to get clues and advance the story. It's pretty fun.
unlabelledView post →Love them! Murder By Numbers is a great picross game with Ace Attorney flavours (you're maybe already well aware). Banging Masakazu Sugimori soundtrack too.
unlabelledView post →I'm really excited about Squeakross too! If you like pairing picross/nonograms with other game design elements, I can't recommend Murder By Numbers enough (I think its on switch and PC?)!!
unlabelledView post →Game #1 Beaten in 2025 Murder By Numbers Solving murders with the power of picross. This game was fun but a bit too long, with the final two cases dragging a bit. The characters are great and the music is top tier. 7.5/10
unlabelledView post →Murder By Numbers is the best nonogram game out there BY FAR. Nothing hits quite like it and I need a sequel!
unlabelledView post →Seriously, if you haven't played Murder by Numbers, you're missing out. Massive shoutout to @edfear.co.uk and the whole team behind it. One of my top 5 favourite games of all time. (And it's on sale right now! Hint hint.) www.gog.com/en/game/murd...
unlabelledView post →Murder by Numbers (2020) Charming little Picross game with an ace attorney-like plot. Some nice illustrations here and there, the characters were pretty good, good puzzles and music! Fun time.
unlabelledView post →2. Murder by Numbers (2020) This was a cute little Picross game that I played a bit a few years ago but didn't actually finish for some reason or another until this year oops It was a fun game and a lot of the characters were interesting!!
unlabelledView post →Oh yesss, I would sooo play it. But even just a second part of Murder by Numbers would be good. It was the best game I played in a long time. 💙
unlabelledView post →PICROSS FAM. Its crazy how they kept coming up with different modes with each game. I actually got into Picross via Murder By Numbers if you ever have time to check that one out
unlabelledView post →Duuuuuuuuude Murder by Numbers is such a fun lil game!! It has Picross, cute robot, drag queens and heart 💙
unlabelledView post →It’s not an exclusively Picross game, but I loved Murder by Numbers.
unlabelledView post →#32) MURDER BY NUMBERS by MEDIATONIC Another Picross game! (I love nonograms.) This one is also a murder mystery VN; you need to solve nonograms to uncover clues. I never actually finished it due to personal stuff but I'd love to replay it soon. I got plenty far enough to recommend it, though!
unlabelledView post →I think you probably played it already by now, since you are into Picross games, but I would recommend Murder By Numbers. It was a fun game unless you don't like the Visual Novel part. BUT, in case you played that already, then I'll recommend Ys Oath in Felghana. Maybe you'll like the series.
unlabelledView post →Game #31 of 2025 Murder by Numbers This game had plenty of murder and numbers. I hate to say this, but I eventually got sick of the amount of puzzles. I think they were cool, but 20+ per chapter felt excessive. I enjoyed the characters, the story was interesting, but man I am bad with numbers.
unlabelledView post →The game is actually called "Murder by NumberS", sorry about that. I need that edit button SO BAD.
unlabelledView post →I've been trying to polish off some games that I was playing that kind of fell by the wayside, and if you like nonograms then I'm going to strongly recommend, "Murder By Numbers." I'm on what I think is the final set of puzzles and so far they've all been logic-able, no guessing required.
unlabelledView post →The mega ones are my absolute least favorite lol. Yeah, that's a good way to get even more enjoyment out of those games in particular. I've been thinking about replaying Murder By Numbers, because that was the first picross game I played and I'm better at it now.
unlabelledView post →If I may add to that: Two non-Jupiter Picross games I really enjoy are Murder by Numbers (a murder mystery VN that somehow effectively integrates Picross puzzles into its gameplay) & Hatsune Miku Logic Puzzle S. Both are available on Steam. One Jupiter Picross game is also on Steam: Logiart Grimoire
unlabelledView post →OH my GOSH! This is the best picross game idea since Murder by Numbers! I WILL have this game!!!
unlabelledView post →I hope you have a great day! I just wanted to say thanks for making Hatoful Boyfriend, it's a really special game. ❤️ I also enjoyed your work on Murder By Numbers!
unlabelledView post →27. I'm glad they found success after Murder By Numbers, but I really wish Media Tonic was given more license to work on other stuff because this VN/Picross game is Brilliant
unlabelledView post →I really liked Murder By Numbers. It’s a visual novel picross game, 2 genres of game I never play, but it’s a fun, cute story that’s as ‘90s as a Trapper Keeper. www.mediatonicgames.com/game/murder-...
unlabelledView post →Murder by Numbers is a picross game with a gripping story and cool characters who have really good chemistry. It's not often you get a picross game that has just as much to enjoy outside of the actual puzzles as the puzzles themselves. It's like Ace Attorney meets Picross. It's really good. Play it!
unlabelledView post →also this is not a phone game but "Murder By Numbers" is a very good picross game (switch, pc) imo. I feel like you might like picross if you're into sudoku & sherlock. www.mediatonicgames.com/game/murder-...
unlabelledView post →What I'm playing: - Pokémon Shining Pearl - Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter What's on deck: - Xenoblade Chronicles II - Murder By Numbers - Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - God of War (2018) - Sea of Stars - Podcast game that I'll announce officially on Friday
unlabelledView post →Murder By Numbers is free on Epic Game Store this week if you want a great picross game.
unlabelledView post →Catch me live!! Starting a new game today for cozy day! Let’s solve some murders with pictograms! So excited to try Murder by Numbers! This is one of the games unlocked with my birthday stream, I hope to see y’all there! 💞🏳️🌈 twitch.tv/mikeylafeypooh
unlabelledView post →But yeah, if Murder by Numbers can make a coherent game out of solving increasingly complex nonogram puzzles, you could certainly do a visual novel that's punctuated by solving cryptic clues.
unlabelledView post →I fucking love nonograms. Played a detective game centred around them called Murder by Numbers recently, would recommend.

unlabelledView post →so insane to see Murder by Numbers in a list only one tier below the greatest game of all time (Xenogears) ❤️
unlabelledView post →Going live with some Murder by Numbers! Been curious about this game! twitch.tv/otisthecanvt
unlabelledView post →Murder by Numbers This was a fun puzzle game with absolutely no relation to anything Nintendo has made or names they have copy written, shoutouts to the review I saw that said this was a vn with no puzzles which is completely wrong
unlabelledView post →Good morning! I plan to game this weekend too! I want to play more Murder by Numbers and maybe some other awesome games.
unlabelledView post →Looking at the Steam page for Murder by Numbers a comedic Detective Picross Game. Which according to Steam tags is appaerently similar to: DANGANROMPA V3 and SLAY THE PRINCESS I mean....I can't argue with this! I can barely tell them apart! XD
unlabelledView post →Sure, I'll throw in some options, all on Steam, your pick: - Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - Murder by Numbers - Lil Gator Game - Froggo's Adventure: Verdant Venture - ClaDun X2 or X3 - Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
unlabelledView post →I have rediscovered Picross as a zone out and relax game. Wonder if I should check out Murder by Numbers.
unlabelledView post →There's another VN by the same dev called Murder by Numbers that's been kinda on my radar. Not sure how much of that game is VN vs the puzzle part though.
unlabelledView post →Where Murder by Numbers was a visual novel with nonograms, this game mashes up the Picross formula with Animal Crossing-styled home design and clothing for your rodent. Game has a ton of customization, from the look/personality of your avatar to being able to decorate the menus and loading screen.
