POCKET MYSTERY EP DX 2.0 is now live!

This update started as a way to start learning more Godot as well as interfacing with more elements of Steamworks. It also served as a way to teasing out more weird stuff that'll makes it way into the (long gestating, but finally back-in-development) remake.

This probably won't wildly change your opinion of the game, and that's okay - but it attempts to make it more playable on different hardware (this was test a fair bit on Steamdeck) and improve the presentation a bit beyond a simple .ROM file emulated in a NodeJS app.

Somethings didn't ultimately make the cut (such as remappable controls), but a variety of things have been tweaked, and there's additional content too.

What's New

  • Converted the emulation to GodotBoy

  • Password System for unlocking hidden content (visual filters, backgrounds, a short interactive fiction piece made almost entirely with a GameBoy Camera and GB Studio, and perhaps more...)

  • A new room has opened in the hotel... it has some secrets of it's own.

  • Steam Achievements

  • Inclusion of the original POCKET MYSTERY EP (released in late 2023)

Fixes/Improvements

  • Fixed some kernel panic issues in the .ROM file

  • (Hopefully) addressed some soft-locking around puzzle progression

  • Cleaned up some cutscenes in game

  • Improved gamepad and Steamdeck support

As a reminder: your existing save data will not carry over to version 2.0. Updating the .ROM file means the emulator is essentially seeing a different game than before, so the save data isn't compatible.

Additionally, while Linux is now supported, the game has only been tested on a Steamdeck with SteamOS, we cannot confirm how it works on other Linux operating systems.

Annnnnnnd one final note: Not all of the passwords are found in the game itself. We'd recommend taking a look at our social media, and other content we've posted, to find more hints.

With all that, [c] RELAX [/c] and enjoy!
