With every examined piece of evidence, whenever he meets another ghost in need of help on the road, or even when he speaks with the teenage psychic Joy that becomes his partner and link to the living world, Ronan never has a real revelation. The hardboiled gumshoe comes off like a blithering moron. What’s his motivation? He wants to be with his wife. Unfortunately, Ronan never develops further as a character. Were Murdered the story of redemption and acceptance hinted at in these opening moments, it might have been something special. Ronan then has to investigate his very own murder, but only after meeting the ghost of his dead wife, who pleads with him to fulfill one last duty and make his peace before he can be with her. Controlling Ronan’s spirit, you struggle vainly to fit him back into his body, which is riddled with tattoos marking his youth as a criminal. Soul Suspect peaks right out the gate, suggesting a wildly different game than the one that follows by hinting at a more meaningful character. Following up on a lead without back up, the killer tosses Ronan out a window before shooting him seven times, marking his spirit with seven glowing bullet holes. The Salem, Massachusetts detective is hot on the trail of the Bell Killer, a serial murderer plaguing the famous city. Ronan’s ghostified in the opening moments of the game.
