The story in "Murder by Numbers" is seen as somewhat distracting, with players preferring to focus on the puzzles rather than the narrative elements. While the game is praised for its well-crafted picross/nonogram puzzles, some users feel that the extensive size of certain puzzles can be overwhelming and detracts from the overall experience.
- “I had enjoyed Murder by Numbers already, but the story part was a bit annoying at times when I just wanted to do puzzles.”

There are a large number of puzzles, with some being gargantuan in size, going as large as 80x80 in some puzzles, which is honestly verging on the ridiculous as a single puzzle of this size can take well over an hour to complete.”
