The beloved murder-mystery game Cluedo, brought to mobile by Marmalade Game Studios, has unveiled its thrilling Winter update. This update transports players to a chilling new setting: an isolated polar research station, setting the stage for your most gripping case yet. While you won't be facing shape-shifting aliens as in "The Thing," you'll need to watch out for deadly new weapons like oxygen tanks and ice picks, making this update truly shiver-inducing.
The Winter update introduces a host of new elements to enhance your gameplay. You'll explore six new weapons, navigate through nine new rooms, tackle nine intriguing case files, and personalize your experience with four new vanity items. The update's theming perfectly complements the icy environment, immersing you in the frigid polar regions.
To fit this wintry backdrop, the cast of Cluedo receives a suitably cold makeover. Alongside these character updates, a new map featuring authentic polar weather effects adds to the atmospheric experience, making every investigation feel more real and intense.
Marmalade Game Studios' choice of a frozen research station as the setting is a strategic one. Known in literary circles as a "closed circle," this setting isolates characters, heightening the suspense and allowing for inventive methods of murder and detection. While some may miss the chance for more festive weapons, the polar setting is undeniably fitting for the coldest months of the year.
