More than 150 developers and publishers have come together to launch InterfaceX26, a week-long Steam sale and livestream running from April 27 to May 4, with the goal of bringing more visibility to this genre of games. Alongside the sale, the event includes a live showcase on May 2, featuring 32 new and updated games. The showcase will be hosted by GameSpot’s Kurt Indovina and Lucy James, with appearances from creators including Jesse Cox, Dodger, Nookrium, and Stormfall33.
Murder Meet Cute has been selected as a World Premiere main feature of the showcase, and will be highlighted amongst other up and coming interface games such as Forbidden Solitaire, Desktop Explorer and Shutter Story.
Additionally, following in the footsteps of the campaign to create a Dwarf Steam tag in 2024, players can support the festival by tagging games on Steam with “Fake OS,” making the genre easier to find for everyone.
About Murder Meet Cute
Murder Meet Cute is an interactive fiction game, where you explore simulated 90s OS systems to uncover Amys, and her customers', lives. When fixing clients' machines, you use ‘Crypto-Nonographic’ technology to debug the machines - picross/nonography puzzles that transform into repulsive viruses to fix once solved.
TRAILER
Using both her at home computer and clients machines, as well as talking to clients at the shop, together you’ll investigate the deaths plaguing her small town. But not before you give the local conspiracy forum users a run for their money first.

- A power fantasy roleplay of a badass goth telling customers where to shove it
