Detective Butler and the King of Hearts changes
Today we have a short but significant announcement:
The Chapter 1 Demo is finally available to play on Steam!
We know that our existing fans of the Detective Butler series have been waiting a long time for a preview of the next game, and we're very proud of how it turned out, so we're excited to share it with everyone.
The truth is that if the game hadn't been delayed so long, it would have turned out very differently.
So we hope you can appreciate that things happened the way they did.
The demo will give you an exclusive first-look at the game and story, and is about 1-2 hours long, depending on your reading speed.
You will meet the main cast of characters, learn about the King of Hearts, and even solve a locked room mystery! Because the full game is expected to have at least 15 more chapters of similar length, we may decide to update the demo with even more content later on.
Either way, we will continue working diligently on the remainder of the game.
A reasonable timeframe to anticipate a full release would be late 2024 -- we'll do our best.
We hope you will be even more excited for the full game after experiencing this small preview!
If you enjoyed the demo, please be sure to share it with someone you know who might enjoy it too.
We appreciate your support, and thank you for playing!
