MM2 of The Locust vs Murder Mystery 2
The name and the maps promise a game you already know. The rules do not. Most first-round deaths here are Murder Mystery 2 instincts firing in a mode that does not reward them.
| Murder Mystery 2 | MM2 of The Locust | |
|---|---|---|
| Roles | Innocent, sheriff, murderer | Innocent and murderer only |
| Can the killer be stopped? | Yes — the sheriff shoots them | No. Nothing in the round can kill it |
| What the killer is | A player with a knife | A player who becomes the Locust |
| Where the killer starts | In the lobby with everyone else | Inside the television |
| How you win as innocent | Survive, or help the sheriff | Survive the clock. That is the whole list |
| Maps | Lit | The same layouts, unlit and larger |
| Weapons on the floor | Dropped gun after a sheriff dies | None. Keys instead, purpose unclear |
Four habits that do not transfer
Waiting for the sheriff to act
There is no sheriff. The wait is just standing still in a horror game.
Grouping up for safety
In Murder Mystery 2 a crowd is cover and witnesses. Here a crowd is a target with no counterplay — and if it is a crowd at the TV, it is a queue.
Reading player behaviour for the killer
You do not need to identify anyone. It is eight feet tall and it comes out of a screen.
Running in a straight line to break away
It is faster than you. Straight lines are the one contest it always wins.
And it is not House of The Locust either
The two get confused because they share the creature and nothing else. House of The Locust is a first-person escape game by a different team, NULLWORKS STUDIOS, built around finding items and getting out of a building. This is a round-based multiplayer survival mode by THE STALKERS OG on Murder Mystery 2’s structure. Guides for one do not apply to the other, which is worth knowing before you follow a keycard walkthrough into a game that has no keycard.
