Tampa, FL, USA - July 11th 2024 - Solo developer Made From Strings and publisher Dionous Games have today released a new developer commentary for their PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch murder mystery adventure in space, Murder On Space Station 52. In the video, developer Christopher Mathes welcomes us to hand-drawn, atmospheric sci-fi noir world of Space Station 52 and introduces the key mechanics you’ll be playing with as you hunt down the “Keychain Killer”, including an investigative murder board littered with suspects, compelling point and click puzzling and cosmetic unlockables that reward exploration.
 

In Murder On Space Station 52, you play as Edward Locke. The new repairman finds himself trapped on a strange space station filled with even stranger people, including one with a penchant for leaving dead bodies lying around with keys in their wounds. Edward soon finds himself filling out a murder board with suspects as he tries to draw connections and figure out which of them is the Keychain Killer.


The game’s murder mystery investigation draws on classic adventure game mechanics with its point and click puzzles, while also offering a modern touch thanks to in-game currency that you earn as you explore, allowing you to customise your apartment and fill an aquarium with an array of strange and curious creatures. It’s all on show in the new dev commentary video and you can delve further into the richly conceived world of Space Station 52, get a taste of its rip-roaring blues-inspired soundtrack and fully voiced cast of charismatic characters in the game’s announcement trailer.

  “Murder On Space Station 52 really is a labour of love,” said developer Christopher Mathes. “The art is hand-drawn, I’ve composed the soundtrack and I’ve voiced most of the characters. All that work is going to be worth it when I see people getting wrapped up in the murder mystery waiting for them on Station 52! I can’t wait to be back soon to tell you more about exactly when you’ll be able to play it.”
