The Deed: Dynasty
RECOMMENDED FOR YOU
the GameThe Deed is a game in which you must commit a murder and then, through a process of making the right choices and planting the appropriate evidence, convince the authorities of your innocence and somebody else’s guilt. The stand-alone expansion Dynasty offers three new scenarios based on this original concept.
Taking place in three different eras, each of these new scenarios allows you to explore the sordid ancestry of the Bruce family as you take control of a character who aims to commit a murder and escape free of suspicion by framing one of the other characters in the game. You will explore a 15th century English castle and a wild west frontier saloon, before finally returning to Dunshiel House fifty years prior to the events of the original game.
Just as in The Deed, every decision you make can influence the outcome and lead to one of many possible endings, which are even more varied and numerous this time. There are many ways to do the deed, multiple pieces of evidence to use to your advantage and a wide selection of characters to frame for your crime.
- Explore the Setting
This expansion aims to provide richer and more varied environments which immerse the player in the various historical time periods of the game, whether it’s Medieval England under the reign of Henry IV, a violent frontier town in the Old West or a grand old estate in the Victorian era.
- Meet the Characters
Each scenario contains a number of non-player characters, some of whom are based on real historical figures, and almost all of whom can be framed for the murder. The conversation system has been developed and improved, offering a greater amount of control for the player and more branching options which will lead to a more unique experience every time.
- Choose the Murder Weapon
Choose from various murder weapons appropriate to the time period in which you find yourself, whether it’s a medieval greatsword, a pair of household scissors or a good old-fashioned six-shooter. Figure out which method of murder is likely to point towards a character other than yourself.
- Plant the Evidence
Items of evidence can be used in multiple ways to raise the suspicion of the authorities. Think carefully about which piece of evidence could be used to frame which characters, depending on where you plant it.
- Face the Authorities
There’s no question that the stakes are higher this time. Life in prison is one thing – but what about finding yourself on the headsman’s block or strung up at the gallows for a grisly public execution?
Life could be brutal in the olden times, and so could the death of a convicted criminal. Can you manage to do the deed while also avoiding such a terrible fate?

This is a short murder-planning simulator where you explore a house, gather evidence, and carefully frame everyone except yourself. You replay the same night multiple times, slowly optimizing your crime like it’s a speedrun. It’s clever, replayable, and makes you feel smart for five minutes before the game proves you missed something obvious. Weirdly satisfying. Still awful morally. Recommended.

This game is free to keep before CHRISTMAS 2025 so grab it!!
Unlike The Deed, this game has THREE different stories to play.
However, beware OCD gamers; the resolution will F*CK all your application window orientations so if you have them centered and a certain size you'll be furious like myself.

The game is designed for multiple runs because there are numerous solutions and options. The mansion contains numerous objects that can be used as weapons and items that will provide the protagonist with an alibi and point to someone else.

The Deed: Dynasty is a lovely little game about family, legacy, and the ancient tradition of saying, “For legal reasons, I didn’t do it.” It’s part murder mystery, part puzzle, and part “how many times can I rewind time before the guilt reaches critical mass.”
You play as a person in a wealthy, extremely messy family where everyone has secrets, everyone is suspicious, and the air smells like inherited trauma and expensive carpets. Your job is to commit the perfect crime—or at least commit one that doesn’t immediately get you escorted into the afterlife by consequences.
The game is basically:
1. Make a plan.
2. Execute the plan.
3. Realize you forgot one tiny detail (like *being seen*).
4. Get caught.
5. Reload.
6. Become a better criminal through the power of repetition and shame.
It’s weirdly satisfying, though. Each attempt feels like you’re tweaking a Rube Goldberg machine of deception: move here, say that, pick up this, don’t stand next to the evidence like a proud parent. And the writing has that deliciously grim humor where you can practically hear the narrator raising an eyebrow at you.
**Pros:**
* Clever little “perfect crime” puzzle loop
* Dark humor and drama that stays fun
* Short, tight, and addictive
**Cons:**
* Makes you feel morally questionable (feature)
* You will reload so much you’ll forget which timeline you’re in
* I have never been so stressed by a hallway schedule
9/10. I came to solve a mystery. I stayed because “one more attempt” turned me into an efficiency expert in suspicious behavior.

As a player who completed the first The Deed, I can say that The Deed: Dynasty was an excellent sequel. It still has the same tension and choices, but now it's set in different eras, making the game even more engaging.

Dynasty in The Deed offers replayable narratives with family intrigue. Decisions ripple across generations, endings satisfying. Compact storytelling works well.
