New Demo Update: A New Hint System (Now in Testing)

We’ve just updated the demo with a new hint system, and we’d love your help testing it. Previously, hints worked in a very direct way: you pressed the hint button, and a correct entry appeared in the logic table.

We’ve just updated the demo with a new hint system, and we’d love your help testing it.

Previously, hints worked in a very direct way: you pressed the hint button, and a correct entry appeared in the logic table.

With this update, hints work differently. You’ll now see a message on the hint button showing “found 0 of X hints”:

To unlock hints, you need to find hidden elements in the scene. Each one you discover grants a hint you can use during the investigation.

At the beginning, you might not feel the need to use hints, since the early cases are more approachable. But trust us, in later phases, they might just save you 😉

The goal is to make hints feel more connected to observation and exploration, while keeping deduction at the center of the experience.

This is an experimental system, and your feedback is essential.

If you try the updated demo, we’d love to hear:

  • how this new hint system feels

  • whether it fits naturally into your investigation flow

  • if it helps without giving too much away

Please give it a try and share your thoughts with us. Your feedback will help us decide how this system evolves.

Thanks for investigating with us!
