Murder Room: Walkthrough

Chapter 1:

1. Turn left twice. Tap on the man with the chainsaw. If you want to see one of the “bad” endings, tap on him to zoom in on what he’s doing, and watch.

2. If not (or after that), turn left and take the knife off the table. Look at the engraving:

3. Look at the top of the stove. You can try to press a button, but after that you won’t be able to touch it anymore.

4. Look out the window to see there’s no way out.

5. Go back to the first room and tap on the closet door to see a combination lock. The left two numbers have a red border and the right numbers have a blue border. The clue to solving the puzzle is the knife — “Jack” is red, “King” is blue.
Since Jack is 11 in a deck of cards and King is 13, put 11 on the left and 13 on the right to unlock the door. Take the doll from inside.

6. Go to the room with the radio on the shelf (and the tipped-over chair) and try to open the door. You’ll decide you need to lure the Butcher outside. Go to the kitchen and put the doll through the window, then hide under the table. He’ll leave the room.

7. Read the newspaper clipping on the stove. Then examine the body he was standing over. It’s a little girl. Cut her ropes with the knife to free her. Then you’ll hear a noise. The Butcher is coming back!

Chapter 2:

1. You need to secure the door. Take the rope from the operating table and tie the door to the bookshelf. The Butcher will leave for now.

2. Listen to the radio on the shelf. You need to figure out a way out.

3. Tap on the couch. Melanie will notice a sound. Cut open the cushion with the knife and you’ll find a map.

4. You can open the oven door now and let Melanie crawl inside, but the door will shut on her and the oven will turn on. If you can’t open it in time, she dies. Don’t do it yet.

***Warning: The following apparently leads to a bad ending. I’ll post the walkthrough for the good ending soon, or refer to the comments section. The bad ending is still fun to play if you want to continue! Scroll down further for the Good Ending***

5. Take the tablecloth from the kitchen table and cut it into strips with the knife. You’ll make a rope out of it. Put it out the window to climb down. But the Butcher starts climbing *up* it! Cut the rope with the knife and he’ll fall. You think it’s safe and try to remove the rope from the door, but Melanie tells you to stop because he’s disappeared. You need to find another way out.

6. If you look near the window, there’s now a key there. The killer dropped it. Pick it up and use it to unlock the fridge. Inside the fridge is a blue bottle full of gasoline. Take it.

Chapter 3:

1. Melanie wants to ambush the Butcher for killing her brother. She wants you to hide somewhere and then jump out when he returns. So investigate the sofa. There’s a loose floorboard under the sofa. Pry it open with the knife. There’s a fuse box with a clue on it:

2. The letters stand for numbers (Nine, Eight, Seven…). The numbers next to the combination lock stand for the numbers in that sequence. So unlock the fusebox:

3. Flip the switch to see that it can shut the lights. Then leave from under the couch and talk the Melanie. The Butcher is back. Hide under the couch and flip the switch in the fuse box. Then you’ll see him writing something on the wall. Attack him with the knife and he’ll fall, dropping the lighter. Pick it up.

4. I used the knife again to kill him, and then discovered Melanie is really the Butcher (“Ellie,” anyone?). The room fills with poison gas and you pass out again.

Chapter 4:

1. Check the bathroom door. Melanie is inside. Pour gasoline on the door, then light it with the lighter. She’ll come running out. Take the pig mask off her face — it’s a gas mask. Now you can breathe. Take the watch from her and shut the gas.

2. Go into the bathroom and get the chainsaw. It won’t work on the door, but it says the key is in the belly:

3. Use the chainsaw on the body on the floor, but the key isn’t there. Now you’ll try it on Melanie. You’ve just turned into the Butcher and got the Bad Ending.

Now for the Good Ending:

Go back to Chapter 2:

1. You need to secure the door. Take the rope from the operating table and tie the door to the bookshelf. The Butcher will leave for now.

2. Listen to the radio on the shelf. You need to figure out a way out.

3. Tap on the couch. Melanie will notice a sound. Cut open the cushion with the knife and you’ll find a map.

4. You can open the oven door now and let Melanie crawl inside, but the door will shut on her and the oven will turn on. If you can’t open it in time, she dies. The clue to opening it is on the stove: “SEE NEWS”. Use the buttons like a compass, with the map as a guide. South is the top button. Tap South, East, East, North, East, West, South. The oven will shut off. Open the door and let Melanie out.

5. Melanie will hand you a steak she found in the oven. Put it in the oven to cook it and the scorch marks will look like Roman Numerals. Remember the numbers, as they might be different from mine.

6. Go back to Chapter 1.

Chapter 1 (again):

1. Do everything from before. Get the knife. But when you get to the closet door, use the numbers from the steak:

2. The closet will move. Take the suitcase and spray can from behind it. Examine them both to see that the suitcase is filled with cash and the spray can is rust remover.

3. Examine the door again so you’ll have the idea to get him to go outside. Throw the suitcase out the window, hide under the table again, and he’ll go after it.

4. Cut Melanie loose again.

Chapter 2 (again):

1. Get the rope and secure the door. Then go to the window and spray it it with the rust remover. You can now open it and close it.

2. Get the tablecloth and turn it into a rope. Hang it outside the window again and try to climb down. When the Pig Man climbs up, slam the widow down on his hands three times and he’ll fall. You’ll get the rope back.

3. Try opening the door, but Melanie stops you. Pick up the key from near the window. Open the fridge and take the gasoline.

Chapter 3 (again):

1. Hide under the couch. Use the knife to pry open the floorboard and open the fuse box again. Tell Melanie about the hiding place and then run back under.

2. Turn off the lights with the fuse box. Then spray the rust remover at the Pig Man.

3. Tie the killer up using the rope. Then try to exit. A metal door will slam down.

Chapter 4 (again):

1. Melanie’s in the bathroom. Try to talk to her and the guy tied up. He told her you’re the one who killed her brother, and she believed him.

2. Cut the ropes from the killer and he’ll attack you. Then he’ll go after Melanie, but she kills him.

3. Take the chainsaw from the bathroom and use it to cut open the closet and take the doll.

4. Look at the writing on the door and talk to Melanie.

5. Put the doll on the operating table and cut open the belly with the chainsaw. Get the key.

6. Use the key to open the door and get the True Ending.

I had 70% complete at this point, so there must be more endings.
