We're excited to announce that UNSOLVED CASE, our newest game in the Cryptic Killer series will be launching on November 24th.

This will be our first game coming to Steam, and it'll be completely free. No IAP or ads, we just want you to try the series without any hesitation!

Dip your toes in and go back to where it all began as you team up in two as detective duo Old Dog and Ally, up against the Cryptic Killer. For the first time in the series, you'll encounter a labyrinth of puzzles and challenges laid by one of the most devious minds in the world. Solve puzzles, crack codes, and find a way out.

Have you got what it takes to crack the Unsolved Case of the Cryptic Killer?


Here's a sneak peek of what to expect! There'll be:

🎮 Free Game: Dip your toes in and play detective for the day in this prequel case for detectives Ally and Old Dog, before you try the full series.

⌛ 60-90 Minutes to Solve: The prequel takes place over one bitesize chunk of fast-paced, puzzle-solving gameplay.

✌️Two Player Co-Op: In Unsolved Case, the detectives are separated. You’ll see different items and clues than your partner and will be tested on your communication!

🧩 Challenging Collaborative Puzzles: Two brains are better than one when it comes to cracking the Cryptic Killer's codes.

🎨 Explore Illustrated Worlds: Parallel Lab's hand-illustrated environments are inspired by noir novels.

🖌️ Draw on… Everything! You can't solve a case without taking notes. At any time in the game, you can whip out a notebook and pen to make notes and scribble on your environment.

As well as...

🏆 Brand new achievements
🏚️ New locations to explore
...And more!

We can't wait to get the game in your hands, so don't forget to forward this email to the fellow detectives you'll play with, too!

Hejo everyone !

Today's update might look little to you, but for me, it took my a while to do !

Basically, this update is just about re making all the sprites in game, all NPC, including the villagers, and the player's sprites have been completely redone with a new style, that I find way better

I have also changed the portrait a bit so the characters are more visible, but that's pretty much all, i haven't work on anything else but that, specifically.

the reason on why I decided to change the artstyle was because some friends recommended me to change and I already had in mind to change it but was not really for that, since i knew the amount of work would be big, but I did it anyway.

I keep growing as an artist and developer, and I think it's normal to just hate what to did prior to a specific moment, there's still a lot of things that i don't like about how the game looks, like the building, but I will fix that another time

I hope you don't mind the slow process ːsteamhappyː

next update will be around adding steam achievements to the game and changing some graphical stuff here and there, like the buildings.

kind regards,
- Trist

Hello everyone!

Corrections related to orders and naval combat:
- Fixed a situation in combat where the captain's impatience remained at the same level even though he hadn't given any orders for a long time
- Reset to 0 the cooldown time between two clicked orders when an order is typed on the keyboard, thus avoiding the chaining of two orders (one typed then one clicked)
- Improved the captain's confidence penalty system in combat when his orders are not repeated. Confidence will be slightly less impacted but all mistakes and abuses will be punished and will make him lose patience faster

Corrections related to the English translation:
- Fixed a possible response display bug when meeting a former deserter
- Fixed a wrong display of the character's name during a message after a fight about a station abandonment
- Fixed a typo "Deackhands" instead of "Deckhands
- Fixed a typo "spoted ship" instead of "spotted ship"

Other corrections:
- Changed the font size of the Treasury sheet to avoid some text overflow
- Fixed a bug that did not display well the climate lines on some maps

Have a nice day or evening.
