Hey, everyone!
Day 2 and I'm back with another update! Your feedback has been invaluable in helping me identify what needs polishing. Today's patch focuses on making the tutorial much more effective and fixing some annoying issues.
Day 2 Patch - What's New:
Tutorial system completely revamped - This is the major change! The tutorial now provides clearer explanations of the game mechanics and better guides you through how investigations should be conducted. It now appears center-screen, pauses other activities, and requires holding a button to dismiss - ensuring you don't accidentally skip crucial information.
Tutorial auto-disable after first case - I noticed many players weren't turning off the tutorial after completing their first case, causing it to pop up repeatedly. Now it automatically disables after you finish your first investigation. You can still manually enable it from the case selection screen if needed.
Notepad input bug fixed - Resolved an issue where adding a note could cause the notepad to hide while text input remained active. This was creating continuous sound effects and invisible text entry. Should be smooth now!
Various minor fixes - Several small improvements and bug fixes to enhance your detective experience.
The update is live now. Keep the feedback coming - it's directly shaping these improvements! If you're enjoying Midnight Files, please consider leaving a review. It helps more detectives discover the game.
Thank you for playing!
