Interface rework finished
2023-01-31
The last bit of new The Lone Detective interface rework is available now, the notebook that is available through a small button in bottom right corner of your screen.
What is so great about it? It is available on every page within your case file (except for the notebook page), you can slide it open or close as you please at any moment, the save of your notes does not cause the page to reload or move, so you can make your notes while you browse through evidence or check your notes while reading transcripts.
Another new feature is the mail notification when your solution was answered by the Game Master. Also, the interface was changed to improve the contrast of the letters and icons on mobile version.
In February two new cases will be available: The Locked Room Mystery, which is a... well, locked room mystery, and A Very Cold Case. Both of them will be OPEN CASES, which will activate two new features: archives and lab. This means that some of the evidence to solve the case you will have to find yourself (or rather by ordering queries for archives and labs).
