Hey, everyone!
Today's update is especially important to me. I recently received feedback from a player experiencing motion sickness, and I want to address this properly. If you're facing similar issues or have any concerns, please don't hesitate to start a discussion thread - I read everything and work on solutions for the next updates.
What's New:
Accessibility settings added - This is crucial! Players suffering from 3D motion sickness can now disable camera sway and increase the comfort vignette (the radial darkening effect that helps focus vision on the screen center). These options should make the experience much more comfortable.
Evidence completion tracker - When you've collected all evidence at a scene, a note will automatically appear in your notepad letting you know there's nothing left to find and it's time to head back to the office. No more wondering if you missed something!
Persistent player notes - Notes you add to your notepad now carry over to the office. You can reference them throughout your investigation instead of losing them when you leave the scene.
More photos per difficulty level - Increased the number of available photos for each difficulty setting, giving you more evidence to work with.
The update is live now. I genuinely wish I had been contacted through the discussion boards about the motion sickness issue - I could have addressed it sooner and prevented a negative experience. Please, if something bothers you or makes the game uncomfortable, reach out in the discussions. I'm always listening and ready to help.
If you're enjoying Midnight Files, please consider leaving a review. It helps more detectives discover the game.
Thank you for playing and for your patience!
