Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter News

September 14th Demo Update

Thank you for playing the Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter Demo! This update adds some quality of life features as well as adjusting defense in the Battle Demo.

Story Demo
  • Added the Message Log. This displays all previous messages in the current scene in order and can be scrolled using up and down.
  • Added the ability to toggle the UI during dialogue scenes. This cannot be done during animated scenes.
Battle Demo
  • The How to Play section has gotten multiple adjustments, notably in the inclusion of visuals to help convey information.
  • Defense has been reworked during a Combo.
    • During a Combo, the length of it significantly reduces the value of the defending card instead of completely ignoring the value.
    • Debate Cards with a value of 4 or lower still ignore the value of the defending card during a Combo.
    • The current defense of a card is displayed on top of its value, if it is modified.
  • The Knight Skill Card now applies a Defense boost instead of limiting incoming damage.
  • With the Defense system changes, a 1 will act as a 10 against defending cards with any value greater than or equal to 8.
  • The decks and difficulty of each fight has been fine-tuned and adjusted to help ease players into the game system.
