Release XVI // Chapters 38, 39 & 40

Methods: The Detective Competition
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux


Release XVI is here!

Release XVI includes three chapters, one new music track, a CG, and a brand new feature: "unlock all chapters"!

I was going to wait a bit to implement it, but it's pretty useful — so I just put it in this Release. It only unlocks the chapters, not the bios, interviews, casefiles, ranks, etc. It may cause some glitches, but I have yet to catch any.

Also, I added a "back button" to the dialog box interface, which will let you move backward (the mouse scroll wheel can do that too, but not every mouse has one).

Just like last Release, this one was crammed a bit into today which is why I missed my deadline again — past midnight. Not ideal, but at least I managed to get it done.
There are some things I still want to change about it — but I'm going to have to table those changes for next week's Release. Thankfully, next week should be a little easier so that should be possible.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! I have removed the "Limited Free Offer" reward from the game page. I think I overestimated how many people would be interested — by a lot. However, it's good to know that feature is there if anyone contacts me about claiming their free copy.

And lastly, Methods will be going on a special sale Halloween week — so be sure to look for that!

Until next time!

— LockedOn.
