Murdered: Soul Suspect teaser site updated with MP3

Murdered: Soul Suspect’s teaser site has been updated by Square-Enix. This time, the log-in is “salemmausa”, and the evidence is an MP3 with the sound of shattering glass and a “thump” at the end. If you look at Evidence A from last week, you see a man lying on the ground with glass shards around him. Sounds like he was pushed out a window. With the new log-on, it’s rather obvious that at least this scene takes place in Salem, Massachusetts. The Twitter account for the game has also posted a close up shot of the phone number we tried to figure out last week. Even if you reverse the number it does not give you a Salem area code, but one for Michigan. At this point, it’s up to Square Enix to reveal the game, or intrepid internet sleuths to figure it out. Thanks, dex3108.

I’m intrigued, but they have to change the name of this game. For one, it’s just not that good, and two, can you imagine kids? “Mom, can you buy me the new murdered game for my birthday?”… Eh

People are obviously free to enjoy any old ARG they want, but from a PR perspective, I just don’t find it even slightly interesting.

If it actually told a story or had something stimulating to kinda catch my attention, then maybe.

I mean it’s Square Enix, how groundbreaking can it be? It just feels a little clumsy and me-too’ish.

Awww. Damn, I knew I should have been paying more attention to this over the last few days. On a numpad with text (like on certain older mobile phones) the numbers 725-366-2872 correspond to the letters sal-emm-ausa or Salem MA USA. … rather annoyed I missed that clue.

@3 Very good! I never thought to try that route.
