addedImprovementsEfforts at reducing information overload and making gameplay smoother: Your PDA now only shows what you need to do next. Much improved train routing algorithm. No more having to change 3-4 times to hop a short distance! The algorithm will try to reduce the number of changes, so it’s a lot easier to get around.

Features

  • Improved and streamlined tutorial with all-new intro. Learn the story of how you got to Tokyo! (Spoiler: by train)

  • Treasures are now unlocked by week (instead of randomly), to fit with the theme of each week. Each week, one of the postcards will trigger a “treasure found” notification.

  • Added 1 new treasure for the demo.

Improvements

  • Efforts at reducing information overload and making gameplay smoother:

    • Your PDA now only shows what you need to do next.

    • Much improved train routing algorithm. No more having to change 3-4 times to hop a short distance! The algorithm will try to reduce the number of changes, so it’s a lot easier to get around.

    • Dialog boxes now have a “shadow” hiding the background.

    • The Data Entry/Spirit Report buttons will be disabled when you complete them and no longer need to access them.

  • Use a grey color for disabled Word Holes instead of red.

  • Added walking and train sounds when moving around.

  • You now get a bonus payment when completing the spirit report each week. Also, once you finish the demo, you’ll still get paid when repeating the week.

  • Improved handling around evidence found at stations.

  • Slightly larger image viewer in the encyclopedia.

  • Station locations menu has slightly different layout.

  • PDA now shows chapter title.

  • PDA makes it clearer that you have to visit postcard to unlock spirit, not just station.

  • Removed unnecessary map tutorial in chapter 2.

  • Spirit dialog now waits for evidence dialog to close before triggering.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a route planning bug where finding a route on a loop line didn’t take the loop into account.

  • Find-A-Route map no longer spoils that week’s postcards.

  • Avoid destroying player’s eardrums by playing pager alert on mixer channel instead of master channel.

  • “New postcard” alert no longer displays at station after demo complete.

  • Unlock scene is skipped after demo complete.

  • Fixed “Discovered x/x words” message on word list, and missing “No words” message.
