Murder
About This Game
Murder is one of the most memorable original Flash Games from Studio Seufz. In this darkly funny one-button game, you begin as a sneaky adviser walking behind the king, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Hold the key, charge your attack, and release before the king turns around. If he catches you, you are thrown straight into the dungeon.
Once you take the crown, the game flips the idea: now you are the king, and someone else is trying to do the same thing to you. That simple role reversal is what makes Murder so clever, funny, and addictive.
The gameVgames version is the original 2014 Flash version. Studio Seufz notes that the game was created by Anselm Pyta and Benedikt Hummel, became viral, and later received many unofficial copies online.
Murder Game Core Gameplay
Surviving the royal hallway requires perfect timing and a deep sense of paranoia. Here is how you can claim the throne and keep it:
- Assassinate the King: Sneak up behind the monarch and slowly charge your attack. You must strike before he turns around. If he catches you with your weapon drawn, the guards will throw you into the dungeon!
- Protect the Crown: Once you successfully take the throne and put on the crown, the roles completely reverse. You are now the King walking down the hall. Watch your subjects carefully and quickly look back if you suspect someone is drawing a weapon.
- Catch the Traitors: If you catch an assassin red-handed with their weapon raised, the guards will instantly drag them away. Survive as long as you can against the barrage of unique characters to win the game!
- Experience the Original: Enjoy the true, unedited Flash classic exactly as you remember it, fully restored with all its hilarious endings, secrets, and charming animations.

How do I actually win the game?
To truly "win" Murder and unlock the best possible ending, you must first successfully assassinate the current ruler to become the King. After that, you must flawlessly defend yourself from every single assassin that approaches until your character safely reaches old age.
What happens if I look back too often as the King?
If you are the King and you constantly turn around when the person behind you is not doing anything suspicious, you will eventually lose your mind! Paranoia will take over, and your character will drop dead from sheer stress, so only look back when you are sure they are attacking.
