In this update...

File 04

In the final round of Stage Four, Team Tads investigates a series of murders at the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. But the nature of the crime may not be as it first appeared... Will they solve the most complicated mystery yet?

Please note that the price of the game will increase after this week.

Theory/Interrogation QoL Update

Evidence is now separated into "pages" that you can easily access by clicking the page number tabs. You can also use A/D or arrow keys to quickly cycle through them. I hope that this makes it less frustrating to get to the evidence you want — and makes the game more accessible to people playing with trackpads or smaller screens.

I've also replaced the "triangle arrow" design for the submit button with "Submit!" text for all Theory/Interrogation/Support puzzles, as the design wasn't really clear enough and resulted in some confusion.

Smaller Improvements!

  • Some of Struess's dialog in Hangout Three changed to be more "hacker accurate".
  • The currently highlighted Hangout in the Hangouts menu now has a visual indicator that it is being highlighted.
  • Game-master did not announce the names of the mysteries in File 02 & 03, this has been corrected.
  • In File 01, the footage is now locked until you have the evidence you need to proceed, avoiding some backtracking issues

Enjoy File 04, and I hope you look forward to the next release... ;)

Best,

— LockedOn & Erabit
