Tiny update for Brazilian Portuguese subtitles hints :)

Patch 1.07 is now out which adds (optional) hint text alongside the release of the new Dark Nights with Poe and Munro soundtrack and demo. Please share the demo with friends (it's free!) if you think they might like our intrepid duo, then head to the options page to toggle on (or off) the new hint text as you desire...









We've also created a very old, non-social-media-partisan reminder system (email list ;-) ahead of announcing our next videogame - insert your email address >> here << if you'd like to get a heads up!

For the brave adventurers (who wanted more hints) there is now a beta branch (currently in English only) which includes "Subtitle Hints".

Subtitle Hints
These appear above the current subtitles (or in place of, if subtitles are switched off) and give additional text hints for what the screen hotspots achieve. If beta feedback is successful we'll get them translated up and roll into main - have fun!

Our new game Murderous Muses releases in 6 days and this time it's in 3D! Check out the trailer here:



Explore a haunted art gallery and hang talking paintings to solve the sinister murder of Mordechai Grey. Uncover evidence, solve puzzles and find collectibles as you dig deeper into the multi-layered stories surrounding the devilish artist and the mysterious island of Mirlhaven.

Murderous Muses stars Dark Nights with Poe and Munro favourites Klemens Koehring (Poe), Aislinn De'Ath (Violet), and Rachel Cowles (Rose) - as well as the voices of Ayvianna Snow (Millicent) and Rupert Booth (The Shapeshifting Detective). There's also a whole host of new faces as the shady suspects!

Murderous Muses launches on 12th April and you can find it here...

Patch 1.06 is a minor patch with a new language!
+ Brazilian Portuguese subtitles
+ Main menu news bulletin system
+ Minor bug fixes

If you've ever wondered what goes into making a branching interactive film, or you just want to see the things Poe and Munro didn't say, now's your chance with the new, hot-off-the-press book "Dark Nights with Poe and Munro - The Original Scripts".

Available in ebook or paperback format, it contains the full, unedited production scripts for all six episodes, plus deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes insights, and a bonus never-before-seen episode where Poe and Munro meet in two separate past lives - with deadly results!

We're thrilled to announce that BR-PT subtitles are now available in the beta branch. HUGE thanks to FMV fan André Oliveira for translating all 26,000 words (yes, even "whistle swinger") and making Poe and Munro available to Brazilian players!



Also in the beta branch are some minor fixes and a menu news system for those all-important messages from the devs! That should be rolling into live soon.


Our 4th game, Murderous Muses, is an FMV whodunit set in a haunted art gallery! If you've enjoyed any of our previous games (Doctor Dekker and the Shapeshifting Detective) then please head over to the Murderous Muses page and - as they say - *smash* that wishlist button to bestow good release vibes and unleash the magic of Steam visibility!
