Murderous Pursuits is FREE to keep forever if you download now

Murderous Pursuits, the PvP murder mystery game billed as the spiritual successor to cult classic The Ship, is free to keep forever if you download it on Steam before Monday. 

That's a truly staggering jump. Those new players won't necessarily stick around long-term, but if enough people have a good time with it then it could create an audience willing to sustain the game for months to come. Philippa said it had the "potential for a lighthearted murder merry-go-round", and she had a good time when she jumped in with the rest of the PCG UK team, so it's certainly worth at least trying out. 

At the start of a round, you get assigned another player to assassinate, but you don't know their identity. Instead, you have to follow a "quarry compass" to get you in the right area and then watch other characters' behaviour, trying to spot a human player in a sea of NPCs. And, all the while, you have to watch your back to make sure you don't get stabbed.

The free-to-keep offer expires 10am PT on Monday. Grab it here—it's usually $20.
