Following Steam Next Fest, we’ve continued improving the demo based on your feedback. Today, we’re excited to share a new update!

🇪🇸 Spanish Language Now Available

The A Study in Blue demo is now playable in Spanish!

We hope this will allow more players to explore Republica and experience the story of Kenneth and Blue.

🛠️ Demo Improvements & Fixes (Patch 0.0.5)

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made several improvements to enhance the overall experience:

Quality of Life

• Dialogue lines are now easier and smoother to progress through with clicks

• Added an option to disable the dialogue text appearance effect (for improved visual comfort)

Localization

• Added Spanish language support

• Various French and English translation fixes

Performance & Stability

• Major reduction of stuttering, which previously prevented some players from continuing the demo

• Fixed an issue where certain timers were affected by framerate → This could lead to inconsistent gameplay depending on your setup

Gameplay & Clarity

• Added a new tutorial for the accusation phase → to better highlight the importance of your choices → and encourage players to build their reasoning using clues from the notebook

• Improved guidance during the investigation → making it clearer how to find key elements and progress smoothly

🔎 About the Demo

For those just joining us:

The demo is a side investigation from the full game, lasting around 2 hours on average. You’ll learn more about Kiara Carter while exploring one of Republica’s many stories.

The demo will remain available until the full release, so you can replay it, try different choices, or discover it for the first time at your own pace.
