Release notes
What’s new
What changes with each published version of the game. Small touch-ups are grouped with the release that brings them.
Current version: 1.4.1
What's new, screenshots and automatic updates
- New Automatic updates on Windows, macOS and Linux (AppImage): the game offers the new version on the title screen, installs it and restarts.
- New On Android, the game tells you when a new version is available and offers to download it.
- New A “What’s new” screen, in the game and on the website, listing what changes with each version.
- New Report a problem: attach up to three screenshots, use a formatting toolbar with preview, and see exactly what is sent.
- Improved On the website, the report form lets you give the game’s version and platform.
Credits and return to title
- Improved The credits, in the game and on the website, now name the game’s designer: Nicolas Dessenius.
- Fixed Going back to the title screen very quickly (from Achievements, for instance) no longer leaves an unresponsive screen.
Desk layouts and full-screen documents
- New Three desk layouts, Investigate, Read and Tree, to give room to what matters (computer and tablet in landscape).
- New Full-screen documents in the Reader (F key).
- New Adjustable document text size (A− / A+) and a reading pane you can widen with its handle.
- Improved Map: a “+” marks a place with new documents to consult, and archives that are not open yet say so clearly.
- Fixed Zooming in the Reader stays legible, and the floating card no longer covers the tree’s zoom buttons.
Reporting during play
- New A “Report” button in the desk header, to report a problem without leaving your game.
- New On the website, the public list of open tickets.
- Fixed The report form no longer scrolls sideways on phones.
The game in English

- New Report a problem from the game, then follow the answer in “My reports” or on the website.
- New On the website: known issues and a privacy page.
- Improved Faster first load.

- New Claimed slots: some identities arrive already declared in the tree. It is up to you to check them.
- New Cases are chosen like folders laid out on the desk.
- New Final decision by rubber stamp; an option that is not available yet says why.
- Improved Adjustable office memos: all of them, only what is new, or none.
- Improved One backup save per case: switching between cases no longer overwrites anything.
- Fixed Better-framed map overview and confirmations that are easier to use with a keyboard.
