This is really cute, I like it a lot! ^^

English speakers usually know this kind of game as "Mastermind."

I did find some errors. When viewing the research report in English for Phase 0, the text is cut off just above the "Notes" heading. It says "...and the subject is considered outwardly" and then stops.

Also, the text cuts off in a similar way when viewing the English research report for Phase 9. The text says "...further increasing the difference from the" and stops there.

In many of the English reports, there seems to be return characters (new lines) placed after a comma, which looks odd.

After clicking the "Gallery" button, the loading text says "LOADING REPOTES..." which should probably say "LOADING REPORTS..."

Thanks for pointing that out!

In Japan, games similar to Mastermind are commonly referred to as “Hit and Blow,” so that was the naming convention I had in mind.

Anyway, I’ve updated the app and revised the English text throughout!

Yay! Thanks for the revisions. ^^

I missed an error, whoops. At the bottom left of each research report, "resarcher" should say "researcher".

I haven't found any other errors, although I have some suggestions for possible changes to some of the report texts.

For phase 5, the text says "Walking sounds have decreased..." This might be better as "Footsteps have decreased in volume..."

For phase 6, the text says "The subject frequently examines the hands." This might be better as "The subject frequently examines their hands," or even "The subject frequently examines its hands." (Saying "its hands" would be very dehumanizing! I think that would be fun. >.>)

Finally, this might be really annoying to change, but in stage 7, the victim turns into a snow leopard. The phase 7 research notes always say "The subject also shows a preference for warm environments," but a snow leopard would prefer cold. Would it be feasible to make the text say "a preference for cold environments," but only for the snow leopard?

I apologize, but at this time I do not plan to make any further changes to the investigation report.

I will consider fixing typographical errors when addressing other critical bugs as well.

Thank you for playing and for sharing your thoughts!
