A few small changes for v2.0.1 to improve accessibility and the handheld experience.

I love my Steam Deck and I often use it to test builds of Mysteries of Old Tokyo. It's not perfect on Steam Deck (entering text will always be tricky!) but I made a few tweaks to make the game more comfortable when playing on a device without a mouse, or if drag and drop presents an accessibility issue for you.

In future I will be improving the numeric input (e.g. years) to be more convenient both on desktop and handheld.

New features:

  • Accessibility option to turn on “Sticky Drag”. This changes the way dragging words from the word list works. Instead of clicking and holding to drag, the word “sticks” to your cursor when you click it, and “unsticks” when you click again. This also makes the game much more playable on Steam Deck or touchpads.

  • Text is slightly larger in places to be more readable on small screens.

  • New options menu accessible from the main menu and the “Options” button on the desktop. Save data management is now under a separate "Manage Data" button on the main menu.

  • “Parallels” mode in the similarity finder now supports the magnifier tool.

  • AudioNew beeps and boops when using the similarity finder or saving data entry.
  • “Visit Location” button on the menu now specifies the current location.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where stamina drained faster than intended on the train.

  • Rebalanced stamina drain when walking/on the train to be more realistic.
