Our Site Score

83/100

Suspects: Mystery Mansion is a fantastic social deduction game that takes the 'Among Us' formula and adds a layer of character and atmosphere that is truly refreshing. Playing with 9 other real players in a mansion setting feels more like a classic murder mystery. The tasks are creative—I particularly love the newspaper and mansion-themed chores—and the integrated voice chat is a game-changer for those heated 'who-done-it' discussions.

The character designs are clever and full of personality, and the addition of a ranking system ensures you're usually playing with people of similar skill levels. While hackers and long wait times can occasionally be an issue in the current landscape, the core gameplay is still some of the best in the genre. It's a game of psychology; you're not just doing tasks, you're building a case (or an alibi) in real-time. It’s the perfect party game for friends or family who love a good mystery.

Dinsun Review

I’ve always liked the 'found phone' genre—it’s a clever way to tell a story on a device you're already holding. Suspects does a fair job of making you feel like a detective. Searching through chats and photos for discrepancies is a solid hook. The writing is generally okay, though it leans on some tired police procedural tropes that I've seen a million times before.

The main issue is that it sometimes feels like there’s only one 'correct' way to solve a case, making your choices feel more like a quiz than an investigation. It also has some pacing issues where you’re just waiting for the next 'event' to trigger. It’s a good one-time play, but don't expect it to stick with you like a great mystery novel would.
