In 2015, developers Pilgrim Adventures and GrabTheGames Studios released The Deed, an adventure-RPG that upended the traditional structure of mystery stories. This week, The Deed is available on Steam for free for a limited time, but only if you grab it quickly.
From now until Saturday, September 27 at 10 am, The Deed is free to all users on Steam. The best way to describe the premise is to invoke the board game Clue. Except this time, you’re not out to find the killer because your character is the murderer, and the goal of the game is to get away with the crime.
Players assume control of Arran Bruce, a man who believes that he’s the rightful heir to his family’s ancestral home, Dunshiel House. Arran’s father disagrees, and has cut him out of the will in favor of Arran’s younger sister. For Arran, the solution is simple: His sister needs to die. How she dies is up to you as the player.
