Play Deadline Online

Game Overview

Deadline is one of those old-school Amiga detective games that doesn’t hold your hand. You’ve got 12 hours (in-game, thankfully) to figure out whether Marshall Robner’s death was suicide or murder—and if it’s the latter, who had the means and motive to pull it off.

At first glance, it looks like a straightforward case: rich guy, locked room, overdose. But something feels off. Maybe it’s the way his family’s a little too eager to call it suicide, or the weird tension between the suspects. You’ll spend your time interviewing people, digging through alibis, and piecing together tiny inconsistencies. Miss a clue or take too long, and the killer might slip away.

Fair warning: this isn’t a casual mystery. The clock’s always ticking, and the game expects you to pay attention. But if you like your detective stories with actual detective work, it’s a satisfying challenge.
