Timer Removed — Explore Freely

This was the most consistent piece of feedback from demo players. The new pacing better matches classic point-and-click investigation: take your time, notice details, then decide when to move on.

This was the most consistent piece of feedback from demo players. The new pacing better matches classic point-and-click investigation: take your time, notice details, then decide when to move on.

  • Scenes are now free exploration: inspect, search, and experiment without a timer.

  • The investigation advances on specific scene changes / major beats (when you choose to move forward).

  • The goal is to keep the case feeling consequence-driven, without punishing curiosity.

If you played before, I’d love to hear whether the new pacing feels better.
