A whodunit with wax and whimsy
Murder in Crayontopia is a murder mystery visual novel set in a world drawn entirely in crayon. As the new detective, you must solve a series of murders in this vibrant, deceptive paradise. Your choices determine whether you bring justice or chaos in this adventure game.
Color outside the lines
Murder in Crayontopia blends classic detective gameplay with branching narrative choices. Players investigate crime scenes, collect evidence, and interrogate suspects in hand-drawn locations. Every decision affects the outcome, and accusing the wrong person could let the real killer go free, revealing Crayontopia’s dark secrets.
While the game offers a delightfully weird aesthetic and a branching story, its limited production scope means that some players might find the visuals or mechanics a bit simplistic compared to bigger-budget visual novels. Still, it’s a colorful breath of fresh air for those looking for a creative spin.
For aspiring detectives
Murder in Crayontopia is a bizarre and charming twist on the murder mystery genre. Its playful crayon visuals hide a surprisingly layered narrative of strange characters, moral dilemmas, and unexpected depth. Whether you solve the case or become part of the chaos, Crayontopia is a place worth exploring.
