Demo launch this Friday, Oct 3

I'm seeing some great and sustained support recently which is awesome. In the words of James Murphy: "Thank you for supporting this weird thing."

Playtest ends later today

A genuine-honest-from-the-bottom-of-my-heart thank you to everyone who playtested the demo. If you sent me any feedback at all, trust me it has been carefully recorded and in many cases, already changed the development of the game.

Your feedback has been so useful - bugs I knew about but thought no one would notice, bugs I never noticed, awesome new ideas that have really made the game better, and just nice things about the game.

So thank you! You know who you all are.

I'll be winding down the playtest today about midnight EEST (UTC+03), but just for today, I've opened up the playlist so you can try it out right now without joining the waitlist!

Demo releases this Friday, Oct 3

And so as the playtest ends, the demo enters its final steps of readiness. The playtest went so well, I will be releasing the demo a few days early - October 3, on Friday, so you'll have the whole weekend to try it out. I hope you enjoy it! With a tutorial and two chapters of the full game, I think there's a good chunk of content to give you a flavour.

New Japanese title

Naturally, I thought it would be nice if "Mysteries of Old Tokyo" had at least some Japanese localisation (although localising the game is a bit out of scope at the moment). So with the help of my translator we now have a Japanese title:

帝都ミステリ紀行

Teito Mystery Kikō - "Imperial Capital Mystery Travelogue"

I tried it out on the box art and it looks very nice:

Finnish Games Week (Oct 6-10)

Finally, preparations are gearing up for Finnish Games Week! Mysteries of Old Tokyo will be part of the Steam event, which is the first official thing of any kind I'll be taking part in. Which is very exciting. Can't wait to find out more about the other games included!
