An unbearable recorded-stories game where you repeat the story over and over to find out answers. To top it off, the video stories freeze constantly, forcing you to exit and repeat yet again.

*Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?* is a short FMV mystery that I would recommend, but mainly to people who already enjoy this kind of game.

The setup is fun: a family quiz over video call slowly turns into a murder mystery when Uncle Marcus tells Abby that someone poisoned him. I liked how awkward the family felt. Everyone smiles, jokes and argues like a normal messy family, but underneath that, almost everyone seems suspicious. Abby has to keep playing along while secretly gathering clues, which gives the game a nice uncomfortable feeling.

Uncle Marcus is probably the most likable part. He feels warm, strange and a little sad, like the only person in the family who still wants some real connection. Because of that, trying to save him gives the story some heart. The rest of the family are more exaggerated, but that also makes them entertaining.

The problem is that the mystery is not very deep. A lot of the game feels more like collecting conversations than truly investigating. Replaying to find evidence can also become repetitive, even with the skip function. Still, the acting is fun, the family drama is amusing, and the short length helps it avoid becoming too tiring.

It is not amazing, but it is a decent, funny little FMV mystery.
