WORTHING & MONCRIEFF

talk interactive to me

Worthing and Moncrieff, LLC is an independent developer of video game stories founded in 2015. What? You've never heard of us? Well pull up a stool my friend, and we’ll tell you a story. No, seriously, that’s what we do. We’re story-tellers and our medium of choice is digital games. We draw on the traditions of live theatre, classic mystery novels, board games, Victorian music, literature, architecture, print design, you name it. So grab a tablet, a laptop, or your favorite bit of gaming hardware and let’s talk stories.

A Matter of Murder

Zounds! One of the guests at an English house party has fallen victim to cold-blooded murder. Your weekend in the country is ruined! What choice have you but to ask your fellow guests probing questions, search the house, draw astonishingly insightful conclusions and solve the crime?

“A Matter of Murder” is a point-and-click puzzle game with rogue-like elements for Windows, Mac and tablets. The details of each murder are procedurally generated, so the game is different every time you play with progressively more challenging logic puzzles.“A Matter of Murder” can also randomly combine logic puzzles to provide seemingly endless surprises and high replayability.

Austen Translation

Worthing & Moncrieff’s second title is a satirical strategy game called “Austen Translation.” Think Jane Austen meets the Dating Game with a dash of Flintstones thrown in. It’s a tongue-in-cheek riff on caustic literary rivalries, appalling preconceptions of the roles of women and men, and, of course, the unending quest to marry well. It released on Steam for MAC and PC on May 1, 2018.
