During the maintenance, the following changes were made to the game:

- Like a real reporter, Betty can put together a dossier on any resident of Mistwood! Now you can learn more about Lieutenant Carter by collecting pages from Betty's diary.

Hello everyone. It's been almost 4 months since the last part of the developer diaries. Let's recall what happened a little bit: we created and talked about the teaser, changed the design and came to the final look of the characters, added mechanics and functionality.

Today we will tell you about the past changes in the project. We also came to the conclusion that we conduct a demo and play a build every month. This is important for retrofitting, reviewing completed tasks, and also helps to identify problems immediately. After all, 16 eyes are much better at seeing mistakes than 2.

Let's go!


We started actively collecting and working with demos. Recently, versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 have already been created. When viewing the demo, it's a useful story, we can independently “play” our result in order to see the gameplay and design problems sooner.
Additionally, we came to simultaneous testing on both Windows and macOS. At the same time, we collect information for the formation of playtests.
According to the changes in the screenshot, the save / download functionality is already visible, as well as the “continuation of the game”. Globally, localization keys have been finalized from the innovations, as well as the names of states along with fractional events/consequences. We have added various kinds of warnings so that the player does not get confused and can respond in time to incidents that the game issues.



A lot of work is currently underway to polish all the screens and refine/verify the functionality separately. We definitely look at the collage models of the buttons so that the player doesn't have any problems. We are testing different resolutions.


We started adding comics that reflect the plot, as well as their description. The picture shows the beginning of the game so far. As the passions in the game heat up and we immerse ourselves, we try to build up the atmosphere of the inner world, the events that are associated with the directors (consider them the arbiters of fate) look very cool.
The progress transition screen and icons that reflect events in transitions have been drawn and completed.

We have already talked about the tutorial and onboarding of the player, we have completed it and are implementing it. Our assistant will be in the role of a teacher. Her photo is also attached.




The endgame is already ready for the script, so it has also been rendered, but it was added to the build quite recently. Multiple endings are always good and interesting.


We are intensively finishing the first chapter. We are currently completing the design, working with game design and tests/formulas. The sounds are ready and understandable. Events also.

The gradual filling of the game is already underway. We gained a foothold on many screens back in the 4th demo a month ago. Screens such as expense/income charts, move transitions, and statistics for the player. Animations of indicators and comics, a save system and events created by managers already exist as chips. We have completed the mechanics of interaction between events

An example of a “Performance Drop” event



Improved the mechanics of the credit rating. Now, in parallel with the plot, the player monitors the status of their funds. This is necessary for a variety of game scenarios. You can earn a lot and spend a lot, or you can save a lot. Someone will barely hold on and stay afloat, while the other person will be heavily indebted and pay the bills every turn, or even completely burn out.

Events now occur after each turn. The consequences of decisions can surface in any other move and you always need to calculate your steps in front so as not to get into a mess.

There are not many global changes. Basically improving everything and everything.


Gradually we edit the translations and add the download save entities.

We have added more intuitive controls so that the player receives notifications (checkmarks) about unfinished events that need to be responded to.

In general, that's all for now. See you in the next installments!

We've unearthed yet another Note From the Underground. Our wayward Explorer is spending some time at their base today in a rare moment of tranquillity. As always, the underground is full of surprises, and it turns out there are plenty of new discoveries to be made right on this Explorer's doorstep!

A localised transcript of this journal entry has been provided below the image.




"Today was one of those rare days where I didn’t get lost, nothing threatened my life, and I got to spend some time with the animals at my base. I’ve been studying the wildlife down here for a while and have even managed to start my very own ranch. The milk produced by Moolin is quite different from the milk back home – it has an earthy aftertaste – and I feel a lot sturdier after drinking it. The wool from my Bambucks has proved very useful for crafting new armour and backpacks.

There are many different types of cattle living in the underground, but I’ve started noticing unique variations within the species on my ranch. Imagine my surprise when my purple-haired Moolin gave birth to a calf with bright yellow hair. Since then, I’ve been paying closer attention to the cattle I encounter in the wild and can confirm that I’ve seen a pure white Drohmble, a purple Strolly Poly, and a pink Bambuck so far.

Observing the cattle got me thinking about the other creatures in this world. I’ve been enjoying the companionship of a loyal Subterrier and a very playful Embertail and thought it was time I did something nice for them. I’ve always found it impossible to keep track of more than one pet while I’m out exploring, so I got to work on crafting a cozy bed that one of them can rest in while I’m out and about with the other. I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty proud of my creativity here and I’ve got ideas for beds to suit all kinds of pets in the future!"

In "The Zodiac Mystery," obsession flows through the Republican-era setting like a silent yet raging undercurrent, pushing the investigation closer to an answer.

Lianshen is a quick-witted Gemini and a top graduate from the police academy. After studying abroad in Europe, he returns to China with a burning passion for justice. Though he could have chosen an easier or even more promising career, he decides to work at the Liulitai Police Station in Tianjin, pursuing truth on the front lines. After getting sucked into a difficult case and realizing a longtime friend may be involved, Lianshen remains steadfast in his pursuit, even though the choice between loyalty and justice nearly tears him apart. His obsession acts as a guide, helping him tune out all background noise. With all the sharp instincts of a typical Gemini, he pieces together clues as if he is spinning a web, grabbing hold of every thread and leaving nowhere for the truth to hide.

Chief Jiao, a Scorpio and seasoned detective, harbors a quiet yet unwavering obsession with justice, buried under decades of experience. Though he was once the pride of the police academy, he has long since pushed those accolades aside. When faced with a painful choice between love and justice, he hesitates. However, his steadfast obsession with doing what's right pushes him to stand firm. He uses Scorpio's signature calm and sharp insight to guide the investigation forward as he works alongside Lianshen. He is not only solving a case—he is passing on his legacy. Through Linashen, he hopes the torch of justice will continue to burn.

In addition to Lianshen and Chief Jiao, other key characters such as Tianbao, Jinrong, and Xiaowen are also driven by their obsessions. Some try to make up for past regrets, while others chase a future they can't stop dreaming about. These fixations clash and interweave like gears in a machine, pushing the tale forward through a tangled mass of love, hate, and hidden agendas.

In this strange and unpredictable mystery, obsession is both a flicker of light guiding toward the truth and an invisible vine constricting each soul. Every character is caught in their own struggle as players experience the heat, weight, and chaos of the path to justice.

"The Zodiac Mystery" showcases the depth and complexity of obsession through carefully layered storytelling, constructing a world full of realism and dramatic tension. Every hard-earned deduction, every challenging decision shines with the flame of obsession.
