Secret Route Update

Regarding the update, I recently released a private demo accessable via discord to test the first part of the Strategy Session. The second part should be finished this week, while all that's left is the final court.

I expect the update to go gold in March, while the translations might take like 2 weeks ontop of that.

Again, I never expected this to take that long. Once the update is out, I will need two weeks of not looking at anything related to solving murder. Sorry for keeping you all waiting that long.
