A year after its release, Brighton based developer Relentless Software has proven once again what a fantastic studio they are.
Independent studio Relentless Software has removed the mandatory price tag from Murder Files as they kick off a 'pay what you want' campaign, with 20% of proceeds going to charity GamesAid.
CEO Andrew Eades admits it's "an experiment as much as anything" and didn't want price to block PC gamers from discovering Murder Files. This could happen more in the future.
Relentless Software co-founder Andrew Eades has revealed some very tasty sales figures for Blue Toad Murder Files.
The charming and child-friendly digital-only title has now reached over 500k sales for its episodes, with the number jumping to 827k when free episodes are included.
"Between 13th and 27th April in Europe and 19th April and 3rd May in North American, Episode 1 of the successful franchise can be downloaded free by all PlayStation Network users."
April 19th was the first day this game was offered for free. The time frame of this was interupted with the network being taken down on April 20th. When the PSN store comes back, it would be a logically prediction to say the Blue Toad Murder Files First Episode would still be free to download. Some of you have been complaining about owning all five games Sony offered, it is unlikely you have this one.
I've played through the entire game. It's more fun with a full set of 4 players.
I have never heard of this? Is this good?
I always feel bad for these guys, I ALWAYS see blue toad getting price reductions, which obviously means it's not selling too well. But I decided to pick up the game... and it's good.
Very fun, and some of the puzzles are genuinely challenging, the whole murder aspect adds a nice bit of flavor to it too. If this patch means people wanting games to go with their move will pick it up.. then good!
the full game 1-6 is reduced to 9.99 on 22nd for europe but problem is i have episodes 1-3 so thats what kinda mucks sales up of this game i think . its great though buy it
Best game since sliced bread.
I loved the game. It has a sharp vibe that hankers back to childhood in the 80's and Saturday morning cartoons for me. It's a light hearted whodunit and it is heavily grounded in the same genre as Dragon's Lair and Space Ace to a degree. Well, in it that you don't actually control any one set character through anything more than commands.
The game is good. Move support will probably add little to the game, but it's free and that's sharp. I encourage anyone who wants to sit back, relax and have a good time using your brains to buy the game. It'll prove a different experience to be sure.
