Patch Notes (ver 1.000.03)

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Bug Fixes

• Soft-lock Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where the game would freeze when skipping speech bubbles immediately after retrieving an item with a magnet.

  • Fixed a progression-blocking bug in the restaurant where clicking the correct answer on the menu before dialogue appeared would cause the event to hang upon closing the dialogue window.

  • Fixed an issue where the story would not progress if the player cleared the refutation system while wearing the maid outfit.

  • Fixed a freeze issue caused by a function error when attempting to skip an event via ESC while simultaneously clicking the mouse.

• QTE & Direction:

  • Fixed a bug in the Bank QTE where selecting "Drop the vase" prevented further progression.

  • Fixed a bug in the Bank QTE where selecting "Hide in the restaurant" resulted in the restaurant door remaining locked.

  • Fixed an issue where speech bubbles would appear if Enter was pressed while the safe keypad was active during the Bank QTE.

  • Fixed an issue where the event would remain in fast-forward mode if a QTE choice was clicked after releasing the ESC key used for speed-up.

  • Fixed a bug in the theater where the event would repeat if the typewriter was interacted with multiple times.

CONTROLS & QOL

• Input Improvements:

  • Improved the quest window so mouse clicks move the highlight and function identically to keyboard inputs.

  • Modified map movement arrows to be directly clickable with the mouse.

  • Removed the 1-second delay between dialogue completion and the next Enter input.

  • Fixed an issue where using directional keys to hide occasionally caused the player to exit the hiding spot immediately.

  • Fixed an issue where clicking at the start of an event during mouse-only play would cause unintended character movement.

  • Resolved an issue during keypad input where moving the mouse after a keyboard entry prevented button clicks.

  • Improved the mouse-over detection when selecting weapons.

  • Fixed an issue where the selected suspect information was reset when opening and closing the Detective Note.

• System Logic:

  • Adjusted the logic so the Detective Note must be closed first during keypad input to ensure game time flows correctly (fixing a bug where time froze if the keypad closed while the note was open).

  • Fixed a bug in the save system where the selection button for a slot became unresponsive after selecting "No" in the overwrite confirmation.

  • Fixed abnormal rotation axis behavior when inspecting objects with the magnifying glass.

MAPS & QUESTS

• Navigation & Interaction:

  • Fixed a navigation error where Robert’s address incorrectly pointed to Lina’s house.

  • Fixed a bug in the newspaper dog search quest where the navigation pointed to the park instead of the client’s house immediately after scrapping.

  • Fixed an issue where the navigator continued to point toward the client even after completing the newspaper proposal quest.

  • Fixed a bug where investigations did not count if a click overlapped with the end of the innkeeper tutorial.

  • Improved the desk-moving puzzle logic to prevent abnormal "Clear" triggers when the final desk entered and exited the area quickly.

  • Fixed an interaction error in the Painter's House where a light switch behind a wall could be toggled.

  • Fixed issues where Hazel’s bed or the Noble’s bag were investigated at abnormal angles (in mid-air or from the back).

• Quest Log:

  • Corrected the manhole quest dialogue log to accurately display the number of remaining manholes.

[UI, Graphics & Audio]

• Display & Visuals:

  • Fixed a display bug where logos and title images appeared incorrectly at 4K (3840x2160) resolution.

  • Fixed an issue where scene transition effects were cut off at 21:9 (2560x1080) resolution.

  • Fixed a 0.5-second delay when the text switched between "New Game" and "Load Game" on the main menu.

  • Fixed visual errors in the item list when purchasing two newspapers.

  • Fixed an issue in the tailor shop where the camera temporarily failed to follow the player if no outfit was purchased.

  • Fixed a bug where menu choices would disappear in the tailor shop if the game was restarted during an investigation.

• Audio:

  • Fixed a bug where the background music (BGM) would not restart after exiting the phonograph.

  • Slightly reduced the volume of the sub-quest completion sound effect.

• Other:

  • Fixed UI malfunctions and forced boarding issues when using a keyboard to operate the taxi.

LOCALIZATION

• Fixed a localization issue in Japanese where text was missing when presenting evidence (photo/autograph) to the chef in the shop.
