Play Murders in Space Online

Game Overview

Murders in Space is one of those weird little DOS games that sticks with you. You wake up on this creaky spaceship where someone's just been murdered, and suddenly you're playing detective with a crew of shady characters who all have something to hide. The pixel art somehow makes the whole thing feel even more tense—like you're squinting at grainy security footage trying to spot who's lying.

What I love is how the game doesn't baby you. You'll be poking around air vents one minute, then sweating over dialogue choices the next because the engineer keeps "forgetting" where she was during the murder. And that synth soundtrack? Pure 90s sci-fi paranoia—all wobbly basslines and alarm beeps that make your shoulders creep toward your ears.

It's got that old-school adventure game vibe where you might get stuck for an hour because you forgot to check under the captain's bunk, but when the pieces finally click? Nothing beats that feeling. Just don't trust the guy who "fixes" the oxygen systems.

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