Murder in the Alps review

Murder in the Alps plays more like a point-and-click mystery than a live service game. You are Anna Myers, a journalist on holiday at a 1930s hotel in the Alps, and when a guest goes missing you search locations for hidden objects, solve puzzles and question ten characters to find the killer. Nordcurrent lists fully voiced characters, illustrated comics, collectibles in every scene, achievements and a built-in strategy guide, which is helpful for casual players who do not want to look up answers online. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro. It ranks eighth because the cheapest pack is $2.99, the highest entry price on this list, and because the app was last updated in February 2026 while most rivals update monthly. We compared documented features and published prices.
