Confidential Killings - A Detective Game news & patch notes

Hi Detectives,

Thanks again for all your continued feedback and sharp observations.

We’ve just deployed a new build to beta branch: Update v1.1.1. This one is focused on polish and clarity, making sure your investigations flow as smoothly as possible.

This Experimental Release is available to everyone on an opt-in basis. Please be aware that things might not work as intended, and you may encounter problems. If you don’t want to take any risks, please wait for the public release of this update.

Here’s what’s included:

Localization Improvements We’ve gone through most supported languages to clean up typos and improve UI text consistency. Small changes, but ones that should make a noticeable difference in readability across the board.

Clearer Signposting We’re making it easier to understand what’s required to progress, and what can be safely skipped. The goal is to keep you thinking like a detective, not second-guessing the game.

Minor Fixes A handful of small bugs and inconsistencies have been addressed as part of this polish pass.

Linux Build?

We want to test how the Linux build works for all of the Steam Deck enjoyers!

Keep the feedback coming, we’re listening.

Happy hunting!

What’s the game about?

Are the cases connected?

Yes! All the murders are part of a larger mystery. We can’t reveal too much (no spoilers!), but each case is a piece of a bigger story. By using your detective skills, you’ll connect the hidden links between people, events, and secrets. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45586982/768dbb490d048bdf4936206bb4436b7cad360fe9.jpg
