Greetings, fellow detectives!
We’ve been busy preparing for October’s Steam Next Fest, and now that the event has wrapped up, we finally have time to share some updates and our plans moving forward.
A Thrilling Steam Next Fest
We spent months getting ready for this event — refreshing the game’s key art, updating the UI, and adding multiple language localizations. All that “heavy lifting” paid off! During the event, we gained nearly 17,000 new wishlists. A huge thank you to everyone who loves our game!
Many new players tried our demo during the festival, and we received tons of valuable feedback and suggestions. We’ve carefully collected all of it and are already working to improve those areas for the full release.
The Localization Challenge
Localization turned out to be even more complex than we imagined. Each language has its own word order, name conventions, usage contexts, and idiomatic expressions. Some clever wordplays in one language can be completely confusing in another — a real challenge for a text-driven detective game like ours!
We get it—the demo’s localization still isn’t perfect right now. But, this event has been an important learning experience, and we’re confident that the full version will deliver a much more immersive detective experience.
We’d love to support as many languages as possible so everyone can enjoy the game in their native tongue. However, given our current capacity, we can only include a few for now. We’ll continue to monitor wishlist growth by region to better understand where the demand is — so if you like our game, please add it to your wishlist! It really helps us plan future language support.
What’s Up With the Full Game?
Inspired by the overwhelmingly positive response to Next Fest, we’re now fully focused on developing the full release of the game, and progress is going well. We will announce the release date when the time is right.
Compared to the demo, the full game will feature more challenging puzzles, faster-paced storytelling, and a deeper dive into the main cases. We’re polishing every detail to ensure you’ll feel the thrill of piecing together clues and uncovering how multiple intertwined mysteries connect.
We’re polishing every detail of the game, hoping you’ll enjoy the thrill of connecting clues and solving interrelated cases together. See you next time, detectives!
Oh, and one last thing — please add the game to your wishlist, and your support means a lot to us!
