We noticed some bugs that's causing some problems for our players. Although not game breaking, the bugs nevertheless take away from the immersion and experience. Here's what we did:

1. Fixed the clock safe puzzle which caused an issue when the hour hand is rotated one round or more.

2. Fixed road signs with wrong street names.

3. Fixed the newspaper pertaining to Dr. Henry Johnson which has the wrong published date.

4. Removed trowel from the Mansion garage which was accidentally placed.

We did notice that some players are encountering the black screen bug at the end of the game. This is a problem as players won't know how they fared in their investigation. We are not sure why that's happening at the moment and are looking into it. We appreciate your patience.

We are sorry for not getting the game really optimized before releasing it on the store.

The minimum specs listed on Steam, although playable, is unfortunately not an ideal gaming experience due to long load times and low frame rate. We strongly advice to go with the recommended specs. If not, at least have 12GB RAM and/or run the game on a solid state drive. We apologize for needing such steep specs but you will enjoy the game much more. Here’s what we found out:

1. Having more than 8GB RAM will load the game faster. We suggest 12 or even 16GB if possible.

2. We recommend installing the game on a solid state drive as it helps with the loading time tremendously.

3. GTX970 can handle the game’s ‘beautiful’ or ‘fantastic’ settings pretty well. Should the game’s frame rate drop, it’s probably due to the RAM. In that case, we recommend lowering the quality settings.

4. Running the game on ‘good’ settings can still provide an immersive experience, although you will notice shorter shadow distances and more LOD popping in large areas.

If you have access to a more powerful PC, we hope you can give our game another try. In the meantime, we are looking into optimizing it.

We just found out that the 'grades' were not showing at the end of the game, causing the game to show a black screen instead of advancing to the main menu. We have since fixed the problem, and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Hi everyone,

For anyone who is interested in live streaming or game capturing our game, we tested using a few recording software and experienced the following:
  • If you use the application's video capture mode, it sometimes record a black screen instead (for obs, it happens everytime).
  • During video capture mode, if you change the game's resolution, the recording will hang even though the game continues running.
  • No problems were encountered when testing the screen capture modes.
(We tested the above using OBS, Action!, ShadowPlay and Fraps.)

We noted that some early streamers did not encounter any problem. Hopefully, you will be fine too.

Thank you.
