About Dylan Dog: Murderers

Gli Uccisori is a side scrolling action platformer with puzzle elements, directly adapted from the Italian comics featuring the nightmare detective Dylan Dog. The narrative is advanced primarily through comic art panels without extensive text.

Gameplay involves exploring a mansion after Dylan accepts a mysterious dinner invitation that turns deadly. Players control Dylan, who must navigate rooms, find keys for locked doors, and combat hostile guests using fists, a revolver, or improvised weapons like knives or a sword. The experience is challenging due to several persistent constraints: a time limit, a life meter that depletes from enemy attacks, limited revolver ammunition, and the absence of a save function requiring completion in one session.

Progress is tied to defeating specific murderers, which yields secrets from surviving guests. The central mystery involves the identity of the mansion's owner, which is revealed at the story's conclusion.
