It has been about two weeks since the release of Scene Investigators and we are thankful for those who have supported us throughout this process. The community has given us a lot of feedback since then. We've listened to them and have decided to improve Scene Investigators. The following contains a list of things that are part of our to-do list, though in no particular order. Tone down the difficulty level of the 'Preliminary Trial' slightly. Include more information about each case file during their selection window, such as difficulty level, so players can have some sort of expectation going into it. Rearrange the order in which the case files are presented. Provide a synopsis for all case files and its scenarios so there's an understanding of the crime scene for the players. Provide 2 different game modes for different type of players: a 'normal mode' that provides indication for correct and wrong answers, and a 'hard mode' without any hand-holding which the game currently employs. Improve the overall audio and BGMs. Add more narrative and provide additional clues to 'Hughes Manor Feud', so it makes more sense when solving it. Fix Japanese and Korean translation errors. Fix in-game notepad bugs for a better user experience. Provide 'clue' trees for those who have aced the case files so they can compare their deductions and reasonings. The above list will take some time but the team is already working on it. In addition, we will continue to fix bugs found by players that cannot be recreated on our side, provide technical support, and continue monitoring all threads and reviews posted on Steam. We thank everyone for their patience. Sincerely, EQ StudiosOctober 31, 2023 Patch NotesOct 31, 2023 - Community Announcements10/31/2023: Fixed some localization errors. Mixed audio levels so that they are more even. Small bug fixes. Fixed issues concerning falling out of the world after putting down an item near the floor while crouching (mainly in Missing S2). If you find more instances of this happening let us know and we will fix it asap. We will update the "previousversion" build to the Oct. 27 build in 3 days, so that those who are facing any issues can test to see if they are resolved. If it seems like bugs are still popping up in the latest version we may host two previous versions at once. As always if you face any issues please let us know in the Bug Reports / Technical Help forums or via our email at [email protected].October 27, 2023 Patch NotesOct 27, 2023 - Community Announcements10/27/2023: Fixed a few localization errors. Encoded videos for playback on SteamDeck. Small bug fixes. Created a "previousversion" beta that hosts the previous version of the game in case you run into issues due to an update. To access this go to your Steam Library, Right click Scene Investigators, Properties, Betas, and select previous version from the drop down. (This is mainly so you can still play the game while we work on a fix, do please report any bugs you run into.) As always if you face any issues please let us know in the Bug Reports / Technical Help forums or via our email at [email protected].October 25, 2023 Patch NotesOct 25, 2023 - Community Announcements10/25/2023: Added support for the following resolutions: 3440x1440 4096x2160 5120x1440 5120x2160 Please let us know if you find any issues with UI scaling in these resolutions.

As we approach the end of Q3, you’re likely wondering why Scene Investigators has not announced an exact release date yet. Unfortunately, we are posting this update to inform you of a minor delay in release! Although our goal was to release during Q3, some critical development processes required to achieve the quality we are aiming for are taking longer than anticipated. We have tried our best to make the previously announce release window and held off on announcing a delay with the hope of not needing to. Alas, the time has come to make it official: Scene Investigators is launching in early Q4. We deeply apologize for this delay and any inconvenience caused. We are incredibly grateful for your patience and hope you will enjoy the game when it releases!
