One playthrough of Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? takes less than an hour, and this is absolutely designed with multiple – so many multiple – playthroughs in mind. Your mileage may vary, but it wasn’t until our fourth playthrough of the game that we had enough evidence on one person to accuse them. You can’t just make a wild accusation, even if you have a hunch. The catch is, though, you can only accuse someone if you have enough evidence. Make the right choices, and you’ll gather clues that might point you towards the person who slipped Marcus the poison. But you’ll have to make regular 50/50 choices perhaps it’ll be what family member you want to team up with in the quiz, or what conversation topic to push them on. How can she play through the family quiz and try to gleam information without raising suspicions? For much of Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? you’ll simply be watching the events unfold.

As for her cousins, they couldn’t be more different: one’s obsessed with death and darkness, and the other is on some sort of humanitarian mission. Her fame-hungry influencer sister is unbearable, and it’s clear her mother doesn’t care about her – or anyone but herself – the way that she should. You play the game as Abigail, a 20-something solicitor and just about the only down-to-earth member of the family. Sure, it’s not perfect, and it has more than its fair share of hammy moments (what FMV doesn’t?), but ultimately it’s hard not to get invested in finding out which of your relatives really did try to kill your favourite uncle.
