Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 89% after the small-sample adjustment
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

What players say

The Deed was good fun. You're setting up a murder and trying to pin it on someone else, so your choices matter when it comes to getting away with it. A neat little twist on a murder mystery, and I enjoyed it.

Most murder mysteries ask you to find the killer. This one lets you be the killer. Short, clever and surprisingly replayable thanks to all the different ways you can try to get away with it.
