Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? is an FMV Mystery Game developed by Wales Studios and released on March 18, 2022.You play as Abby, a young woman with experience in investigation. She receives a disturbing video call from her uncle, Marcus, claiming that he has been poisoned by one of the other family during their last family gathering and is hours away from dying. He asks for Abby's help by having her enter her family's virtual quiz night and have her find the poison that was used, evidence for why a family member would poison Marcus, and of course, the culprit themselves.The game has multiple endings, and the series of events are short, so the player is encouraged to play multiple times in order to find all that there is to find.

Big, Screwed-Up Family
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_154aa477
comment
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Quite literally everyone in the family, aside from Abby, is some degree of awful. Aside from Nan's attempt on Marcus's life and successful murder of her husband, each member of the family have their own secrets that are uncovered with each of their respective accusations. Felicity is an uncaring mother and have put her reputation and image before the happiness of her daughters. June is an example of what staying in the toxic environment of the family would do to someone, it's very clear that she is just a tired and hollow shell of a woman, trying to drink away her depression. Toby is revealed to actually have been living out of a van in London, and not in Africa due to a greedy investment that went south. Bradley does some pretty disturbing and dangerous things, with the fact he has access to illegal poisons just the tip of the iceberg. Lottie confesses that along with her career as a social media influencer, she is also selling cocaine on the side. Even Uncle Marcus is revealed to have had bouts of paranoia a couple years prior.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Uncle Marcus, in trying to get Abby to turn on her own family and interrogate them in order to reveal their dark secrets, provokes her into admitting that she'd rather be a game designer and is only currently studying law because that's what her parents wanted her to do.

Artistic License – Biology: The three poisons are all real and have been used in murders, but none would result in a progression of symptoms from relatively stable to being on death's door over a mere half hour or so.

comment
Beneath Suspicion: The path to the Golden Ending has a moment of this. After learning about Bradley's poison collection from either Lottie or Toby, Abby can interrogate Bradley over who knew he kept poisons. He notes that he bragged about his collection to Lottie, that Toby would've had access to his stuff...and then he pauses, gasps "it couldn't be", and adds that Nan was snooping in his room the morning the poisons went missing.

Implied Death Threat
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_3255968b
comment
Implied Death Threat: Nan ominously tells you that it might be better for Abby if she leaves the call and goes to bed early, which takes on a very different tone with the reveal she's the killer. More blatantly, if Abby accuses her without evidence, Nan calls her "a stupid girl" and warns her that "she knows what happens next". The implication is clear.

Make It Look Like an Accident: Nan murdered her adulterous husband Eddie, threw his body in his favorite fishing lake, and told her children that he had committed suicide. Marcus trying to uncover the truth while writing an autobiography, which would ruin the entire family's lives if the truth got out, is what motivates Nan to try killing him too.

Hidden in Plain Sight: The owl statue in the background of Nan's room, with a base slightly obscured by a book positioned in front of it, turns out to have been a murder weapon that still has discoloration from blood on said base. Nan actually seems bemused that nobody ever noticed before in the ending where she's accused.

Improperly Paranoid: Halfway through, you learn this isn't the first time that Marcus has become convinced that someone is trying to kill him, and previous times have turned out to be nothing. Abby can dismiss the entire "murder attempt" as just another burst of baseless paranoia and stop the investigation. [[spoiler: She's wrong. This time, someone really is trying to kill him, and the scene cuts to his funeral]

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: The Golden Ending, in which Abby both saves Marcus and fingers the correct murderer, is capped off with Abby giving one of these to every single relative in the group call before cutting them all out of her life (except Lottie, whose shallowness is a byproduct of their screwed-up family and tolerable enough that Abby says after taking some space she will text her again later). Aunty June also gives one to Abby in her ending, telling her that one day she'll be just like her, another bitter old drunk mourning her lost potential.

Non-Standard Game Over
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab
comment
Non-Standard Game Over: The only time the game can end prematurely. Midway through the game, Nan will inform Abby about how Marcus was prone to acute paranoia a few years back, to the point of accusing the family of things they didn't do and becoming a shut in. This sows seeds of doubt within Abby and puts into question whether or not she wants to believe Marcus, who, after confronting him about it, confirms that Nan was telling the truth, but swears that this time he is not being paranoid. If you, as Abby, choose to no longer trust Marcus, she will end the call with him and log off. Time then moves forward a few days later, during Marcus's Virtual Funeral service. All other family members are in attendance but after exchanging condolences to each other they log off one by one until the now distraught Abby is the only one left in the call, silently sobbing, utterly beside herself, and feeling nothing but regret.

Token Good Teammate: Nan and Lottie are the only members of the family to treat Abby with even basic kindness. Then Nan turns out to be a murderer. Lottie, though, remains decent — if shallow and egoistical — and in the Golden Ending is the only member of the family Abby stays in touch with.

Rewatch Bonus: If you know the identity of the killer, you will notice some suspicious behavior. In Round 1, Mum, Nan, and Aunt Jane all share about Uncle Marcus catching fire and who did what in response, but Nan leaves out that she applied a first aid kit, which is how the poison was applied. Immediately after Round 1, Nan turns her camera off, giving her time to send the threatening messages to Abby. After Round 3 when she shares about Uncle Marcus' previous paranoid delusions, she talks about anonymous e-mails despite her saying in Round 1 that she neither has an e-mail nor really understands how the internet works. And if you pair with Nan on Round 4, she suggests that Abby call it an early evening.

Mood Whiplash: The ending with the Accidental Murder is intercut with Toby asking everyone what he's missed and where his relatives disappeared to due to his connection sputtering. If Marcus is alive, he also jokes that he might still be suffering from the poison, as he just hallucinated hearing June and Bradley dying.

Abusive Parents
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Abby's mother Felicity is emotionally manipulative, completely dismissing the accomplishments of her own offspring that don't match her own desires and unwilling to converse unless she's constantly being flattered. In the Golden Ending, Abby can call her out for only wanting a child to have someone she's always better then. Aunt June, due to her constant inebriation, openly complains about every single thing she hates about the rest of the family, including her own sons Bradley and Toby.

It's All About Me

comment
It's All About Me: It would be easier to list the characters who aren't entirely self-obsessed, although Felicity certainly takes the cake: when she believes her daughter has developed psychosis, she says that she promised not to put herself through a loved-one's illness and to call back when she's better.

Freudian Excuse
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: June is the most openly unpleasant of the family by some margin, viciously insulting everyone at every opportunity, but if you manage to get her to open up? Abby can learn her alcoholism and subsequent decline is an attempt to soothe the grief of her father's death, and she fears being sober because then she'll remember what she lost. Felicity can give a shorter but similar statement, offhandedly noting that since her father died, she always wants to cry.

Artistic License – Chemistry
 Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (Video Game) / int_c94f1109
comment
Artistic License – Chemistry: Uncle Marcus' has several of the symptoms of being poisoned by means of thallium, but he lacks hair loss. Hallucinations are not a symptom (although in the ending where he lives and Bradley accidentally kills June, Uncle Marcus suggests the medicine is making him hallucinate).

Hypocrite: Toby's life revolves around charitable causes (well, mainly how he can seem like a better person for supporting them), and he uses his round of the quiz to guilt-trip his relatives into caring more about global crises like climate change and supporting third-world countries. He also invested all of his money in a diamond mine that was shut down by Amnesty International for exploiting slave labor.

Anti-Frustration Features: The game retains any evidence you find from your previous playthroughs, on top of that the game allows you to skip cutscenes already see, saving you the aggravation of playing through certain parts of the story over and over. Which you will do.... a lot.

Orgy of Evidence: June has the most evidence of any character, with multiple people confirming that she's violent, that she's poisoned people, that she hates Marcus, that she's made attempts to kill Marcus in the past, and that she attacked Marcus at the meeting. She's innocent, of course, she's just a massive asshole.

Jerkass: All of the family, besides Abby, in one way or another. Felicity's a raging egoist incapable of caring about anyone but herself, Toby's a holier-then-though Soapbox Sadie who's constantly dismissing others, Lottie's a shallow and self-obsessed social media celebrity, Bradley's a deeply creepy murder-obsessed weirdo, and June is a bitter drunk who openly hates everyone. Even Marcus is a hate-filled paranoiac. Nan is at least better at hiding it, but it soon becomes clear she's just as messed up as the rest of them.

Accidental Murder: The ending where you accuse Bradley. He puts a gun to his head, professing his innocence but still wanting to kill himself to avoid going to jail for possessing illegal poisons, but Abby talks him down...only for his mother to burst into the room to try to stop him, and Bradley accidentally shooting her in shock. He then panics and jumps out of his bedroom window...on the third floor of the house.
