ReturnsOddly enough, it's not like we decided to communicate with you only in odd years. That's just how it all turned out... Our plans turned out to be a complete disaster. 2024 wasn't a very good year for The Detective. You could say it was terrible. We also entered the current year, 2025, with not the best prospects...
However, we are determined to complete the project. There have been some fundamental changes that - I hope - will allow us to resume and continue work on the project. Although, unfortunately, we are not sure whether we will be able to release the game this year.
The first resolution is to launch a news channel - here on Steam. We are not able to support social media - but we hope that here we will be able to provide recent information about the development of the project.
The first piece of information is the successful migration to Godot 4.4. The third attempt was successful - and took only 6 days (of which the actual time spent on the work can be summed up in a maximum of 2 days). Maybe this step was not necessary - but if it worked, it bodes well for the future.
For a start, maybe that's enough - I hope to post news about the project regularly (-ish).
Read you soon!
[ 2025-04-17 23:13:03 CET ] [ Original post ] Release delayHello.
We think you deserve a few words of explanation. As you may have noticed, we have changed the game's release date to
2024.
We are a small studio, creating the project in our free time. Life always verifies plans - no matter how cautious they may be. Work is progressing, but not as fast as we would like - and unfortunately there's not much we can do about it.
We want to finish the game and we will! However, we had to - we hope for the last time - move the date on which we will be successful to next year.
We hope that despite this, you will stay with us and that the joy of the game will reward you for waiting longer. We will try to update you more often about the progress from now on (please also visit our social media for more information).
See you on the murder mystery!
[ 2023-08-28 15:59:09 CET ] [ Original post ] A family celebration is approaching at the home of one of the members of London's financiers - Christmas, traditionally celebrated with grandeur. On this occasion, his daughter and her husband, cousins and friends appear at the estate. Unfortunately - where young people and a lot of money, there are a lot of emotions and feelings. Hazel Launton, a longtime friend of the family, dies in mysterious circumstances. Why? What was the murderer's motive? And finally - who did it? And will anyone else die?
Become a detective, plunge into the world of mystery and solve the mystery.
Ask the residents of the house questions - every detail can be important! People lie sometimes, remember this - in your notebook, you can denote whether you think the information provided is true or not. The further development of the situation will depend on this,
While collecting information from residents, you will come across traces leading to specific places - search them to find more facts and items. They can provide important clues. Sometimes it is enough to examine the item to obtain further information. Sometimes, however, you will have to use one item on another to find out its secret. Remember that a detective follows even the strangest tips.
