EYE: A Murder Mystery Generator
A downloadable game
A local politician in a quaint village buried alive. A ship’s engineer crushed by a rigged cargo crate. A champion jockey on the racing circuit bludgeoned with a horse shoe.
What twisted murder case will your team of private investigators unravel?
THE GAME
EYE is a cooperative mystery solving game for one to six players. Players take on the role of detectives, hunting down suspects, evidence and clues in order to solve a randomly generated murder mystery. It’s up to you and your friends to make sense of the information presented and get to the bottom of each mysterious case!
During each game of EYE, players will record the facts of the case, as well as its solution in their very own casebook.
All you need are the rules, a printed casebook sheet, writing utensils and some scratch paper. Several 10-sided dice may also be helpful but are not required.
CONTENT WARNING
EYE is a storytelling game about murder mysteries, which means there is a high likelihood players will end up discussing grisly or violent scenarios. Please be mindful if that is something you would rather not engage with.
THE DESIGNER
This game was originally designed for the Portland Indie Game Squad 2023 Tabletop Jam. Game design, art and graphic design by Zak Eidsvoog.

This is a delightful little concept, I love the layout. Lacking a group to test it out on-the-fly, I opened a detective novel to a random page and used it to generate words and numbers for me. Worked great!
Great stuff here, very thematic.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
