POCKET MYSTERY EP DX 2.0 is now live!
This update started as a way to start learning more Godot as well as interfacing with more elements of Steamworks. It also served as a way to teasing out more weird stuff that'll makes it way into the (long gestating, but finally back-in-development) remake.
This probably won't wildly change your opinion of the game, and that's okay - but it attempts to make it more playable on different hardware (this was test a fair bit on Steamdeck) and improve the presentation a bit beyond a simple .ROM file emulated in a NodeJS app.
Somethings didn't ultimately make the cut (such as remappable controls), but a variety of things have been tweaked, and there's additional content too.
Converted the emulation to GodotBoy
Password System for unlocking hidden content (visual filters, backgrounds, a short interactive fiction piece made almost entirely with a GameBoy Camera and GB Studio, and perhaps more...)
A new room has opened in the hotel... it has some secrets of it's own.
Steam Achievements
Inclusion of the original POCKET MYSTERY EP (released in late 2023)
Fixed some kernel panic issues in the .ROM file
(Hopefully) addressed some soft-locking around puzzle progression
Cleaned up some cutscenes in game
Improved gamepad and Steamdeck support
As a reminder: your existing save data will not carry over to version 2.0. Updating the .ROM file means the emulator is essentially seeing a different game than before, so the save data isn't compatible.
Additionally, while Linux is now supported, the game has only been tested on a Steamdeck with SteamOS, we cannot confirm how it works on other Linux operating systems.
Annnnnnnd one final note: Not all of the passwords are found in the game itself. We'd recommend taking a look at our social media, and other content we've posted, to find more hints.
With all that, RELAX and enjoy!
