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
File 03 has been written!
The last time I checked in with a devlog, I had just finished writing Chapter 14. Here's what I've done since then.
- Finished Chapter 14
- Finished Chapter 15
I'm really glad to finally be done with the writing process (though revisions will likely be made during development). Now everything's a lot clearer. Much more work ahead, but at least the creative heavy lifting is over. I have two very rough versions of the backgrounds I need, two finished sprites, and I commissioned a programming genius to write a python script for me which automatically adds in simple "idle" and "talk" expressions.
Though I'll still need to manually tweak them, getting a rough version of the expressions in so quickly is a huge time-saver. The next big hurdle is sprites and backgrounds!
Until next time!
