Release XX.5 // Bios, Question, & More


This is a small patch to Release XX that includes new bios for the tourists, a new CG, a new Interviews question and a new music track. It's the additional content that I wanted to include in the original XX release, but did not have time for.

Downloading this .5 update is not entirely necessary, so if you already downloaded Release XX and don't feel like downloading something new, feel free to skip this and wait until Release XXI.

Details:

  • New Interviews question "How well do you work with others?"
  • 3 new bios
  • 1 CG (appears in Chapter 47)
  • New music track "Invisible Man" (Appears in Chapter 49)
  • Fixed a bug where crowd noise/musical stings weren't going away if you started a new chapter in the middle of another one


Until next time!

Killersoul's kind of a sweetie haha. I'm really enjoying the mysteries– and it's getting really juicy here, haha. >:) I'm excited!

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. He's a fun character to write!

That new CG is incredible. 

I really like seeing Ashdown trying to figure out what's going on, he really has improved as a detective... Or, perhaps, more accurately... He's doubting himself less? The partner swap early on was very sweet, and it was nice to see Roel come back into the spotlight. And his hesitance about solving the case was - quite understandable.

On that note, though we didn't see Mastermind Garden, Killersoul remains amazing and I have such shock that a fellow as with it as Ashdown is even a little unnerved by such a friendly guy, ahahaha! More seriously, though - since I figure we're nearing the crux of this particular setup...

Some of the stuff Killersoul hinted at has been cycling around the back of my head since Tronen's suggestion she flee on a mattress out of a moving train. That's not exactly a great plan, and sounds like someone who's worried about getting caught, that being said... Hmn, might as well put my theory out so I can inevitably look like quite foolish when it's entirely wrong:

I don't think any of the criminals were involved with this case; I do not think the culprit is Ms. Macy Drue, former Dt. Tronen or some twist like Ashdown being the culprit. Whomever got away with this would have to be someone excellent at getting close and personal with their targets, someone who is used to being seen as someone else, someone who fades away when not being interacted with...

Clearly, the murderer is Dt. Asper, and he's just angry that nobody else appreciates fine floral shirts! Ahahaha!

Seriously, though - several of the answers about working together were incredibly shady or illuminating, and I've got a theory this recent spate of murders is only the start of some... Troubling developments.

Good thing that the GMs really are on the case, their fantastic plan seems to be going off without a hitch, and leaving Mellie in the breach is 100% a good idea, ahaha!

Great release, and nothing to add - I couldn't reproduce the stinger bug, so I'm glad you fixed it.  And I'm glad you'll be hitting Steam again, achievements or no. Keep on getting sleep and taking care of yourself, don't overextend, see you at the wedding reception for Pierre x Icecream!

Haha! Thanks!

"Whomever got away with this would have to be someone excellent at getting close and personal with their targets, someone who is used to being seen as someone else, someone who fades away when not being interacted with..."

Spot-on analysis, I think! Describes Dt. Asper to a tee! ;)

Just saw the music mistake in Chapter 48 — Sorry about that, it will be fixed in the next Release!
