In the last few stages of the Canadian detective competition, Detective Larika Downs is determined to find out who could be running such a questionable contest. Joining her are Detectives Tads, Anadyne, Struess, and Viu. By working together, will they find out the truth?
Methods: The Canada Files is a prequel visual novel to Methods: The Detective Competition. It features a brand new story, a new cast of eccentric characters, and a new style of mystery-solving gameplay designed to present more of a challenge. Solve puzzles and present evidence to refute faulty theories. Choose which of your teammate's methods to use to tackle the problem at hand.
Playing Methods: The Detective Competition first is highly recommended, but not required to understand the story.
- Solve crimes with five unique methods
- Refute faulty theories with evidence
- Chinese translation
- Original soundtrack
- Interviews, bios, gallery, music room, and other extra content
This is a small update that adds a few suggested improvements.
New hotkeys!
- Press H for text history screen
- Press Q for quick save
- Press L for the load screen
- Press S for the save screen
- Press O/P for the options screen
- Press C to open the casefile
- Viu's method now works with WASD and arrow keys on keyboard!
In addition to that...
- Added new text to Struess and Viu methods to hopefully explain what to do better
- Added fullscreen/windowed toggle to the options menu (was previously only available by pressing 'f')
- Increased the size of the hitbox on Perspective eye icons and Pinpoint paths to assist people playing on smaller screens
- Quality of images increased from 80% to 95%. Now there should be less noticeable artifacts, yet the game is still much smaller (300mbs) than its uncompressed size (700mbs)
- Removed 'CHANGE EVERYDAY' from the note you find in the computer as it may have made the note seem more important than it is
This game is a work in progress, and I'm going to keep making improvements. I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks!
LockedOn.
