Explanation and Apology Regarding the Save Data Bug

After yesterday’s update, some players reported save data issues after restarting the game. These issues may prevent players from entering the game or searching for case numbers.

We are still investigating the cause of this problem. If you encounter this issue, you can try replacing your save data.

We sincerely apologize for the negative impact this has had on your gameplay experience.

Fixed a bug where summary content could not be saved.

Since the release of CaseCracker in 2022, we would not have come this far without the support and companionship of every player along the way.

To celebrate the launch, CaseCracker 3 is available at a limited-time 10% launch discount.

In addition, we are also introducing the CaseCracker Franchise Bundle. Players who already own CaseCracker and CaseCracker 2 can purchase the bundle during the launch period and receive an extra 10% off on top of the launch discount.

Compared with previous entries in the series, this installment features a larger overall scale and greater difficulty. Long play sessions may lead to fatigue due to mental overload, so for the best experience, we recommend planning your playtime appropriately based on your own pace.

The side stories in this title are also closely intertwined with the main storyline. We strongly recommend exploring as much information as possible in order to enjoy a more complete and in-depth narrative experience.

Whether you are a longtime friend who has been with us from the beginning, or a new player stepping into the world of CaseCracker for the first time, we sincerely hope that in Chicheng, you will find a story—and answers—of your own.

Thank you for playing, and welcome to the world of CaseCracker.

My name is Yao Yu, and I am currently the project lead at Black Robe Inc.

After the original project lead of CaseCracker went missing, Chairman Ge Meiling personally invited me to take over the project. To be honest, although the terms she offered were indeed very generous, I wasn't particularly interested at first.

What truly changed my mind was not the money, but the cases.

While reviewing the existing materials for CaseCracker, I noticed that some of the cases involved details that closely overlapped with several urban legends I had been investigating recently.

For a long time, these stories had been dismissed as rumors, coincidences, or tales deliberately fabricated by certain people. But if they really are just legends, then why have they appeared so frequently in clues connected to different cases across Chicheng over the past two years?

I do not believe that a series of abnormal signs appearing one after another in such a short period of time can be mere coincidence.

I suspect that behind these so-called "urban legends" lies something unknown.

To me, this is not merely a project handover, but an opportunity to continue digging deeper.

And now, I can officially announce:

CaseCracker 3.0 will officially launch on Steam on May 14.

I hope you'll add "CaseCracker 3.0" to your Steam wishlist right now, and when it officially launches on May 14, step into the cases yourself and uncover the whole truth!

Dear Case Cracker Fans,

Thank you for your continued support of the Case Cracker series. We have an important update regarding the English localization of our games.

To provide a better detective experience for our players, we are officially retranslating the entirety of Case Cracker 1 and Case Cracker 2.

Complete Overhaul: We are revising all story text, character dialogues, and intricate clues to correct previous inaccuracies and awkward phrasing.

Unified Terminology: As the trilogy forms one continuous narrative, the retranslated versions will use the exact same terminology system as Case Cracker 3.

Quality of Life Improvements: Along with the text update, we are implementing minor functional and UI optimizations to the first two titles. (Note: Core gameplay and story content remain unchanged).

Release Schedule:The retranslated versions of Case Cracker 1 & 2 will be launched simultaneously with Case Cracker 3.

We sincerely apologize for the localization issues in the original English versions of the first two games. Thank you for your patience and for being part of this journey with us.

Over the past two years, the police in Chicheng have entered a large number of unsolved cases into the CaseCracker system. To further meet the needs of the police in handling cases, BlackRobe Inc. has upgraded the system to Version 3.0.

While sorting through these cases, the police discovered clues related to "404" — the leader of a cult — and reported the information to their superiors immediately. Upon learning this news, Detective Wang Xun took the initiative to apply for a posting to Chicheng for the investigation, vowing to apprehend "404" and bring them to justice.

After comprehensive evaluation and analysis, the superiors decided to continue opening CaseCracker System Version 3.0 to the public. Currently, the Steam store page for this system has been officially launched.
