Murders & Mistresses v1.0.0.3 Patch notes
Murders & Mistresses · published · build 25708444
Hey everyone! We hope you've been enjoying Murders & Mistresses! If you wanna support us, leaving an honest Steam review would be a huge help for our visibility! Thank you!
Now let's get to the patch notes. This is the first patch since Steam release and our goal was to improve quality of life with some much requested features (like turning off autosaves), fix any bugs players had come across, and also fix small visual problems in a number of images and animations.
You can find a full list of changes below:
New
New autosave setting in Options: On every Choice (the default), Every 15 Minutes, or Off. If picking choices has been causing hitches or freezes for you, try lowering the autosave amount.
Autosaves are now off in Real Life Mode.
In cases 1–3, pressing I now only highlights things you haven't looked at already, not everything. Doors and exits always light up.
Chapter title cards for case chapters now show the case number.
New "?" button on the flowchart that opens its tutorial.
New Case 3 optional hint in the ? menu.
Right-click in the journal now puts down the idea you're holding. Right-click again to close the journal.
The journal tutorial and the ? menu now explain that it doesn't matter which idea you pick up first, and how to put one down.
The tutorial now better explains what Prioritize does: when two case theories contradict, the prioritized one wins.
Fixes
Fixed an error where the mac version wouldn't start properly.
Three achievements never unlocked on Steam: Wine o'Clock, Exit Strategy, and Title of Your Something Tape. They do now. If you already earned them in-game, they will unlock on Steam next time you launch.
Case 1: Frank's letter is easier to click, and Victoria now always reminds you about it if you haven't read it.
Case 1: The wine glass in Anne's kitchen no longer shows a short black screen first when clicked upon.
Case 2: Laurel's head bruise has a bigger, brighter highlight.
Case 2: Fixed certain dialogue lines to better fit the players solution.
Case 3: the courthouse's main door button is now labelled "Main door", and the key rack in the security room no longer overlaps the exit.
Case 3: the podium and corpse highlights are more clearly separated
Case 3: Certain case theories can now be put down after you pick them up, which a bug previously prevented in specific scenarios.
Remove all case theories no longer deletes theories the story gave you. It also no longer leaves you holding the theory it just deleted.
The line through Morgan's heart emoji on the phone is gone.
Checkpoints are now outlined in the in-game flowchart, not just the main-menu one.
On the main menu flowchart, the marriage picker only offers marriage types the scene can actually happen in. (You can no longer do an open marriage scene and select exclusive for example.)
The flowchart tutorial said Requirements was in the top left. It now correctly says top right.
Extras spoiler warning: it now also appears when you open Extras from the end screen, just with a different message
The Frank & Olivia Supporter Upgrade scene now has music. Its track was a file type the game couldn't play, so it was silent.
A number of images and animation fixes and improvements
We hope you enjoy these changes!
