We're very happy now that The Silver Case is available to you, the fans!
I hope you will find it a unique and satisfying experience!
Making a game is a difficult and complex process, and I want to take this devlog as a chance to say thank you to everyone involved along the way.
The development team, especially the lead programmer Yuki Yamazaki and lead 3D designer Shunsuke Takahashi, that has worked on the Silver Case HD remaster deserves more credit than I do for all of their hard work and effort in ensuring that you guys get a great game experience!
Modern games are made of complex interactions between a variety of moving parts, from code functions and scripts, to sound effects and music, as well as input from the players.
It has been said in many places that games don't really come together until right before the end, but what that means is that all the moving parts get the most polish right at the end.
This is a difficult and, quite often, stressful process to make sure that both technical and creative requirements are met while a deadline looms ever closer.
The team that made The Silver Case HD remaster have been champions, working hard every day to give the game the best polish they could.
I'd also like to thank the PR team for their hard work as well; without them, you guys might not have heard about the project in the first place!
So please keep up the pace, and maybe send a few more tweets, guys, please? Give the PR team a little breathing room!
And finally, let me give my thanks to SUDA51 and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture. They have stood behind us every step of the way to help us to ensure that what we were making was a Grasshopper Manufacture experience in every way. It has been a great learning experience, so thank you very much!
We are now, of course, working on the OS X version that has been promised, and will be released in just a few weeks from now. We look forward to supporting everyone to the best of our ability.
Regards,
Douglas Watt & The Silver Case Team

- The Silver Case: The Extra Contents
1999 – Tokyo’s 24 Wards. The city has been plagued by a string of serial murders.
The detectives of the 24 Wards Heinous Crimes Unit have their sights set on one particular suspect: Kamui Uehara, legendary serial killer and perpetrator of a number of assassinations of government officials 20 years prior in the now-famous "Silver Case". However, nobody knows who - or what - Kamui really is.
Is this really the second coming of Kamui? Who is this infamous serial killer, and what is his endgame?
Take control of the protagonist - a member of the Special Forces Unit known as “Republic” - from a first-person perspective and dig deep into the underground of the 24 Wards and the police force itself to unravel the various interconnected mysteries encountered throughout the game. Inspired by classic adventure and visual novel-style games as well as neo-noir and hardboiled detective films, The Silver Case provides a unique and revolutionary gameplay experience as it leads you through deep and engaging storylines filled with puzzles and riddles. Uncover the truth piece by piece as you struggle to survive in this dark and dangerous world where the stakes are even higher than they seem!
Kamui Uehara
A dyed-in-the-wool psychopath who gained the title of “the King of Crime” after stabbing a government official to death. Kamui’s motive is completely shrouded in mystery, and it is not known whether he’s acting alone or following orders from some higher power. His victims are major witnesses of suspicious industrial disasters and persons of interest in legal cases which cannot be tried under the current system.
Sumio Kodai
A straight-laced, mid-level investigator in the 24 Wards Heinous Crimes Unit. Relatively quiet and subdued, he provides a perfect contrast to his partner Kusabi, the more rough-around-the-edges of the pair.
Tetsugoro Kusabi
Sumio’s partner, and a grizzled veteran investigator. Back in his regional agent days, he headed the original Silver Case 20 years prior.
Chizuru Hachisuka
A beautiful and level-headed investigator who relies on scientific evidence and raw data to solve crimes.
Kiyoshi Morikawa
Calm and collected, Morikawa is a talented investigator who has worked with Kusabi since their days as regional agents. One of the founding members of the Heinous Crimes Unit.
Morichika Nakategawa
Originally a member of the Public Security Department, Nakategawa has connections in all of the surrounding jurisdictions and is plays a vital role in interdepartmental communications. Rather than going out into the field to investigate crime scenes directly, Nakategawa’s main focus lies in directing investigations from HQ.
