- Showcase some gameplay from the 4th level - 2 August 2024
Hey All, The team wanted to showcase some more gameplay from the new version of the game. In the video you see the player, you guys, approach the room through a corridor. These corridors essentially serve as little rest areas in between combat. They will also have a little mini radio mission brief from you team leader. As you turn the corner you are immediately confronted with enemies from the left, front and right. You will also notice there are exposed areas from the floor above that will allow enemies from above to shoot at you. However, you can also shoot at them through those same holes. So pay attention for any tactical advantage. An important point to remember, even though you have unlimited magazines, it is super important for you to reload often. You do not want to find yourself in the middle of heavy gunfight, and then all of sudden you hear the click of an empty magazine inst…
- MAJOR GAME UPDATE!!! - 31 July 2024
Lets get right to the point....the math is out! As we played through the game, we kept feeling like something was missing. And that something was gunplay. So we decided to completely overhaul the game and transform it into something pretty cool. Something like this..... This is from the first room in the first dungeon. It is pretty intense gunplay. As you can see the enemies deal 100% damage. So if you are hit, you will die and respawn at a checkpoint that is placed at the beginning of the combat encounter. Which means, that you must clear the entire combat encounter, without getting shot once in order to reach the next checkpoint. alright lets backup a little bit and tell you what we have done... 1. We added intense gun combat. The player now has a silenced task force issue pistol. Your pistol now has 9 rounds per magazine, and you have unlimited magazines. (we tried giving a limited n…

This game has alot of unsettling and disturbing stories. The main component of the game is listening to recording devices created by an insane serial killer obsessed with math.

- The Abduction of Jennifer Grimble - 9 November 2023
Special Agents! Jennifer Grimble has been abducted, the task force has received the location of the facility, and you are going in. It is time to think critically! ok, well...maybe not. Jennifer Grimble is not in the main game, this problem is just to get the math juices flowing. Additionally, It does not have the gory details that you will find in the main game. but it does have a similar flow to the word problems you will find in the main game. Think of these videos as the Chex Quest version, whereas the main game is the original Doom. (Those are old school references for the true gamer) THE INTRODUCTION The above video is similar to some of the introduction/mission briefing videos you are going to see in the main game. One of our favorite components in single player games is the mission briefing. In The Math Problem Killer, we wanted to create a cool cinematic mission briefing before…
- Welcome to the Serial Killer Task Force! - 9 November 2023
Welcome to the Serial Killer Task Force Special Agents! The Task Force has pulled "Case File no. 87596 - Priscilla Baker", for you to review. This is one type of problem that you might encounter when you enter one of the Math Problem Killer's dungeons. Thank you for following the game, and joining Bejamru Studio on the journey to release 'The Math Problem Killer'. We are not going to mislead gamers. As gamers ourselves, we hate when game companies do that. 'The Math Problem Killer' is unique in that is primarily a math game. At the core of the game you essentially walk into a room, solve a math problem, then walk into the next room. There is no combat, it is nothing but math word problems. However, what sets this game experience apart, from a basic math quiz, is the crime thriller story that we have constructed around the game. Each math problem is told by the killer about how he kidnap…
