Working on some very Canadian extra content...
First of all, thanks for supporting the Early Access everyone!
I'm so glad that everyone has been liking the game so far, and I've also been collecting your feedback about it! Definitely hearing that a lot of people are finding the hacking minigame puzzle a bit too obscure haha. I'll be adding a hint system to that minigame so that hopefully not as many people get stuck there.
The translators are working very hard to get the Chinese version out! Meanwhile, I finally finished writing the Hangouts a new feature that is replacing the Interviews. It was way harder than I thought it would be, but I think it's worth it. I also worked on the bios, which now include more information, with these basic facts about the characters that people ask me a lot about Methods characters.
Canada Files is requiring a lot more detail and polish than Methods. I'd hoped to be done with all the extras by now, but I think it's going to take another week. I'm also not sure when the translation will be done, but I'll keep you posted on that as well. My current plan is to hold off on releasing another build for the time being and just getting these extras and translation done first.
I'm also going to return to doing artwork commissions this week, which will slow progress down a bit. Thanks for your patience!
Until next time!
LockedOn.

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.
