Release VIII // Chapters 18, 19 & 20

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

Release VIII is here!

Release VIII is a pretty big update, with three chapters, five bios, two CGs, and a new music track. Additionally, I revamped the chapters menu and the gallery menu. I also went back into previous chapters and made some minor tweaks to make the experience better.

This release is the last one before I switch the game over to the "paid for" version -- so download it now while it's still free!

Starting August 8th, the game will be $5 to download. If you downloaded it already, no worries -- you won't need to pay for the new content! In the future, when there are a lot of chapters and the price is no longer adequate for the level of content in the game, I will raise the price again. Here's what that will look like:

Chapters released
205586
Price$5$10$20 (final price)

I will also be releasing a demo of the game sometime next week that will contain the first ten chapters. I was going to include the first twenty, but that seems a bit excessive seeing as it contains 36K words.

It's extremely important to me to price my game fairly, so please let me know if this is too expensive -- or, maybe you feel like I'm underpricing it and the game should be $100 -- a dollar for each chapter!! ;D

Either way, let me know in the comments!
