🎮 How to Play

In "Murder," your goal is to become the king and then survive the attempts on your life! Players start as courtiers, sneaking through the castle halls 🏰 to find and eliminate the current king without being spotted by guards. Timing and stealth are crucial. Once you pull off the assassination and claim the crown 👑, you become the new target. The game is a tense battle of wits and patience, where you must outsmart every other player to reign supreme.

🕹️ Controls

The game features simple but precise controls for both desktop and mobile play.

Desktop (Keyboard):
• Movement: Use the WASD or Arrow Keys to navigate the 2D castle.
• Action/Interact: Press the E key to eliminate the king when close and undiscovered.
• Sneak: Hold the Shift key to move quietly and avoid making noise that attracts guards.

Mobile (Touchscreen):
• Virtual Joystick: A floating joystick on the left side of the screen controls your movement.

🎯 Objectives

Your primary objective is to successfully assassinate the king and seize the crown for yourself. This requires careful observation of guard patrol routes 🚔 and perfect timing. Once you are king, your goal shifts to pure survival. You must evade the other courtiers who are now hunting you. The ultimate victory is achieved by being the player who survives the longest as the monarch. The longer your reign, the higher your score climbs on the leaderboard!

💡 Pro Tips

Mastering "Murder" requires more than just quick reflexes. Use these strategies to extend your reign.

• 🎪 Use the environment to your advantage. Stay in shadows and behind tapestries to remain hidden from both guards and other players.
• ⚡ As king, never stay still! Keep moving constantly around the throne room to make yourself a harder target for aspiring usurpers.
• 💰 Patience is a virtue. Rushing your attack is a sure way to get caught. Watch the patterns and strike only when the moment is absolutely perfect.
• 🏆 If you are a courtier, sometimes the best strategy is to let someone else make the first move on the king and then strike the new, distracted monarch.
