Murder, She Wrote is a 2009 episodic point-and-click adventure video game developed by Legacy Games, based on the 1984–1996 television series of the same name.[1] The game features five murder mysteries that the player tackles through point-and-click puzzle solving methods.[1][2] Although none of the actors from the original TV show lend their voice in the game, the likenesses of Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, William Windom as Dr. Seth Hazlitt, and Ron Masak as Sheriff Mort Metzger are used.
A sequel, Murder She Wrote 2, was launched by Legacy Interactive in November 2012.[3]
