addedThank you to everyone who has purchased Investigation and played it in the past year!!! I've been working hard in the background on a new game; Hollowed Echo, while completely remaking Investigation! New engine, new features, new game. I upgraded from Unreal Engine 4.27 to 5.3! I understand how broken Investigation was, and I wasn't happy with the end result. So let me breakdown what will come out on this update! (Within the next 2 weeks)
changedComplete map overhaul- EVERYTHING has been revamped, and made better fit for the narrative

addedNew monsters- New monsters with unique AI will be included!!!
addedHiding/sneaking mechanics- To make it more fair, hiding and sneaking will be added to prevent the player from feeling like it's too hard!
