Release XI // Chapters 26 & 27

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

Release XI is here!

Release XI includes two new chapters, two bios, a new music track and five interviews. It also fixes some issues with the last Release -- the "Trigger Chains" minigame has been changed so that the "columns" are now a "word cloud", which should hopefully make it more intuitive, and I changed the color of the highlighted words to blue to make them more readable. Other small fixes include a new CG (I swear I'm done tinkering with Nell's goodbye moment now), the bug with being unable to read previous chapters has been fixed, and I also spruced up the casefile a little.

The OST has been updated with the new track and a new file format -- WAV: https://lockedon.itch.io/methods-ost

This release was somewhat hampered by a weird bug with Photoshop where it won't let me select anything, then crashes. It's come up quite a few times now... hope it won't be too much of an issue.

I forgot that this Release was the one with the mystery in it... another mystery won't be popping up again for about five chapters. That's a good thing, because Stage Three is just around the corner, and it requires some extensive modeling and many new character sprites.

Keep your eyes peeled...
