If you’re in the mood for a charming English murder-mystery, then the Blue Toad Murder Files may be the downloadable episodic game for you. Relentless Software has announced the global PC release of Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle, dated for 24 November 2010, and priced at £14.99 (±R162) / $19.99 (±R138).
The game will be released via direct download from online games distribution partners as well as directly from the Blue Toad Murder Files website.
The game was previously only available on the Playstation Network, but soon PC gamers can get the 6-episode game in a single package.
Blue Toad Murder Files is a one to four player game set in the quintessentially English village of Little Riddle, where murder is in the air. As one of the famous Blue Toad detectives you solve puzzles, interrogate suspects, use your powers of observation and investigate clues to uncover the strange goings on in this quaint and sleepy village.
The main aim of the game is to follow clues to find the murderer. Along the way players will also encounter a variety of puzzles which help them move through the peaceful world of Little Riddle.
As one of the detectives, players move around the village by selecting locations on the map. Each stop provides an opportunity to meet a different villager and question them on the minor misdemeanours taking place in Little Riddle.
With each step of the investigation a puzzle is played to help a villager or get further clues about the case. But pay attention – players will also be questioned by the Chief Inspector about events that take place after each chilling incident.
At the end of each episode players will be asked to choose their suspect before the culprit is revealed and exposed in all their criminal capacities.

– Six separate episodes
– A cliff hanger at the end of every episode
– Over 90 puzzles, ‘Whodunnits’ and cross-examinations
– Opportunity to play as one of four unique characters
