Hello, Tokyoites!
I'm excited to announce that Mysteries of Old Tokyo is now available for purchase on Steam. You can get it now with a 10% launch discount!
This game has very much been a labour of love for over a year now, and I'm really excited for you to get to play it.
I hope very much that you enjoy it. As I've said, it might not be the best game ever, but I think it's the best Mysteries of Old Tokyo ever. I don't think there's ever quite been a game in this genre like this: whether you have visited Tokyo once, twice, zero or a hundred times, I'm certain you'll discover something new about this amazing city, and have a lot of fun while learning.
The demo will remain on Steam indefinitely, so please give it a whirl if you want to try the game first. It should give you a good idea of the full game, which features over five times as much content across 32 puzzles and 11 chapters of gameplay.
If you discover any issues I'll do my best to fix them. You can report bugs via Steam or in Discord:
Good luck out there, kiddo. The next station will be: Tokyo. The doors on the right side will open...
Release notes
v3.1.0-RC2
Improvements
Updated some text files and clue images.
Tweaked some puzzles.
Added letterbox (4:3) toggle to hide the sides of the screen.
Bug fixes
The “tutorial started” achievement should now unlock when loading a save, if it wasn’t already unlocked.
Fixed the number of slides on the Browse Postcard screen.
Scroll buttons should now actually scroll up and down. However, this has introduced an issue where some text boxes cannot be scrolled with the mouse scroll wheel. As a workaround, make sure the mouse cursor is over the scroll bar before using the scroll wheel.
Fixed an edge case where quitting/crashing after finishing the final chapter wouldn’t trigger the ending cinematic after reloading.
Music will now stop during the ending cinematic.
Fixed a weird freeze and crash caused by Yoshida specifically.
