History VideoGame / Murder

* [[AscendedFanfic Ascended Mod]]: Much like TTT, the mod was officially made part of the game in Garry's Mod 13.

* KnifeNut: The murderer has a knife in the standard game, not including the various mods.

* AscendedFanfic Ascended Mod: Much like TTT, the mod was officially made part of the game in Garry's Mod 13.

* AlwaysMurder: You think?

* WolfInSheepsClothing: The murderer. Just an innocent bystander... till they brandish their knife with which they will stab you.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Decided to shoot a potentially innocent bystander for no reason? You'll drop your gun, be slowed down and almost blinded for thirty seconds, leaving you open to a quick stab.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: The murderer. Just an innocent bystander... till they brandish their knife with which they will stab you.

* DisposingOfABody: Averted. Once someone's killed, their body stays, leaving the murderer to either hide it or kill everyone else quickly. [[note]]Some specially-designed maps for the game give players the option to do this, however.[[/note]]

In each round, a single Murderer spawns. He is equipped with a knife that will kill anyone he smacks it with in a single hit, and is completely silent. His objective is to kill everyone else.

And by everyone else, we mean [[ControllableHelplessness a bunch of completely defensless Bystanders]] that must explore the map in search of different items called clues that glow green. When a number of clues are gathered, the Bystander who collected them is given a [[OneHitKill Magnum]] that will kill the Murderer in one shot -- but has a long reload time, and only fires ''one shot''. A Bystander will also spawn with one at the beginning of the round, and his decision to brandish it or save it can either lure the murderer to him, getting a good shot, or forcing the murderer to be more careful around him. If he dies, then the gun drops -- if another Bystander can pick it up, he'll be armed.

If a Bystander with a gun shoots another innocent Bystander, he'll be severely incapacitated for a good 30 seconds, at which point he's ripe for a shanking. Be warned, however, that everyone is given codenames (which can be customized per server) and has a radial voice menu that can say jokes, sad musings, questions, and screams of terror.

** The knife is short range, requiring the Murderer to get up close and personal, and while it can be thrown, once it's thrown, the murderer needs to go pick it back up, leaving him open to be shot. Skilled players can dodge the knife with relative ease.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: The murderer. Just an innocent bystander... till he brandishes his knife with which he will stab you.

* ParanoiaFuel: The nature of the game lends itself ''very'' well to this.

And by everyone else, we mean [[ControllableHelplessness a bunch of completely defensless Bystanders]] that must explore the map in search of different items called clues that glow green. When a number of clues are gathered, the Bystander who collected them is given a [[OneHitKill Magnum]] that will kill the Murderer in one shot- but has a long reload time, and only fires ''one shot''. A Bystander will also spawn with one at the beginning of the round, and his decision to brandish it or save it can either lure the murderer to him, getting a good shot, or forcing the murderer to be more careful around him.

** The gun is accurate, intimidating, and easy to use- but has an exceedingly long reload animation after a single shot so '''make it count.'''

* DisposingOfABody: Averted. Once someone's killed, their body stays, leaving the murderer to either hide it or kill everyone else quickly. [[note]]Some specially-designed maps for the game give players the option to do this, however[[/note]].

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Played with. If the knife actually ''hits'' it's an instant kill. Experienced players, on the other hand, can dodge fairly easily.

The game mode can be found for free in Garry's Mod 13. See also ''Melonbomber'', another gamemode made by the same user. Compare and contrast ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'', which is very similar, and slightly more popular.

* [[AscendedFanfic Ascended Mod]]: Much like TTT, the mod was officially made part of the game in Garry's Mod 13.

* GlassCannon: The murderer. They can sprint, and their knife (plus the lack of armed civilians aside from one gunman) means they will be able to kill large numbers of people in a short period of time. However, they are as vulnerable as the other players and a single gunshot will kill them.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Decided to shoot a potentially innocent bystander for no reason? You'll drop your gun, be slowed down and almost blinded for thirty seconds, leaving you open to a quick stab.

If a Bystander with a gun shoots another innocent Bystander, he'll be several incapacitated for a good 30 seconds, at which point he's ripe for a shanking. Be warned, however, that everyone is given codenames (which can be customized per server) and has a radial voice menu that can say jokes, sad musings, questions, and screams of terror.

* FragileSpeedster: The murderer gets the option to sprint, something that nobody else does.

* CombatPragmatist: The murderer can choose to be this, by picking off bystanders one by one and waiting for a trigger-happy gunman to commit friendly fire before going in for the kill. Unlike [[VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown that other game]], this isn't ''necessary'' per say, since the murderer can cut through swathes of people if they play their cards right, but it does help.

* AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade: Played with. Bystanders have the option of barricading themselves in rooms with whatever they can find, which can be useful enough on occasion. However, most items can eventually be swatted aside and/or broken easily, and without a gun you're only stalling for time.

* ThrowingYourKnifeAlwaysWorks: Played with. If the knife actually ''hits'' it's an instant kill.

''Murder!'' is a game mode featured in VideoGame/GarrysMod, based around, well, ''MUUURRRDDERRRRRR.''
