Methods: The Canada Files News

The wait is over! Hangout Two has now been added to the game in both English and Chinese! This new Hangout is longer, coming in at about 9k words.

Though the Hangouts are optional, they have lots of hints about what's to come, so I encourage you to check them out.

I hope you will enjoy spending time with Team Tads and learning even more about them!

With Hangout Two comes a new Outfit set, themed appropriately for the upcoming holiday... Halloween outfits! You can now play the game with Robot Larika, Spider Struess, Plague Doctor Anadyne, Mummy Viu and Wizard Tads!

It's been a while since the last devlog! But here is another one! Hooray!



With the announcement that The Illusion Murders is coming to Steam as a standalone game, you can see that I've been kept very busy since the release of File 02! But I'm happy to say I just finished writing Hangout Two. It's longer than Hangout One's 5k words, at around 9k words. There are a lot of secrets to discover, for those who are thorough enough to check every conversation path. ;)

It's close to being done, so I hope you'll look forward to it!

Until next time!

Hi everyone!

After some consideration, we decided to launch Methods: The Illusion Murders as a free game on Steam!



The Illusion Murders is a linear mystery visual novel with some light gameplay elements. Famous detective Red July tracks down a serial killer who patterns his crimes after illusions, in one of her most notorious early cases.

As you may know, MTIM is a short five-chapter story featuring Red July which is included as free extra content in Methods: The Detective Competition. Since it's a self-contained story, we thought it'd be a wonderful way to introduce new players who haven’t purchased MTDC to the world of Methods.

This standalone version of the story features new reworked menus, and an exclusive music track "Illusions".

We hope you'll enjoy it!!
