Play Murder on Violet Island Online

Game Overview

Murder on Violet Island is one of those MS-DOS games that sticks with you—mostly because you’ll spend half your time squinting at pixelated clues and the other half jumping at sudden thunderclaps. You wake up stranded on this gloomy island where everyone’s either lying or hiding something, and the rain never lets up. The whole thing plays out like a fever dream of an old detective novel, complete with cryptic diary entries and a butler who definitely knows more than he’s letting on.

The puzzles are just the right kind of frustrating—not impossible, but satisfying when you finally connect the dots. I remember getting stuck for ages on a locked drawer until I realized the "useless decorative key" from the hallway actually fit. The atmosphere’s thick enough to cut with a knife, and the soundtrack? Pure 90s synth dread. If you’ve got a soft spot for slow-burn mysteries where every conversation feels like a trap, this one’s a trip worth taking.

Just save often. The island doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
