The Deed is a short, dark, atmospheric point & click adventure, in which you're tasked with committing a murder.
Obviously, the goal is to do the dirty deed with the least significant consequences to yourself, meaning you're going to try to either frame someone else for the murder, or simply avoid getting blamed for it yourself (leaving it unsolved). While each single playthrough can be very short, the game does offer you different ways to achieve your goal, each with a different result, so the point is to have plenty of playthroughs, kind of like how it goes in Long Live The Queen, for example.

The gameplay itself is very simple. During the first couple of acts, your job would be to talk to people, trying to lead the conversations in the direction you want, while picking up two items out of the junk scattered around the house. One item should serve as a murder weapon, while the other's function is to be a false, planted evidence, meant to lead the police to suspect the victim you'd like to frame.

After doing the deed itself, you'll be interviewed by a police detective, having to answer questions perhaps explain your behavior. Again, just like during the previous phase, the idea is to lead the detective to the conclusion you're interested in. As soon as you're done, you're given the outcome of the game. Being consistent and logical, it's pretty easy to get to the result you want, but despite that fact, I've found the game to be entertaining enough, especially considering its low price.

Don't expect anything special regarding graphics or music, as the entire focus of the game is the plot. Also, I did experience the occasional crash, losing my progress, but since each playthrough is so short anyway, there's wasn't too much progress to lose to begin with.

All in all, this is a cute little mystery game, definitely worthy of its price tag, in my opinion.
