Hi folks! We know we've been quiet for some time, but we were busy polishing every possible aspect before the launch. We can't wait to find out what you think of the game! Since the Nintendo Indie World, a lot of things happens and it's now time for many announcements around Crime O'Clock!

Steam new release date

First of all, the release date on PC has moved. We are sorry to have to delay the game's release on Steam by a few days. The new release date is now planned for July 21st. We are trying to finalize all platform-specific features (achievements, cloud saves, etc.), and getting things done right takes time. We've worked hard these past few months and want everything to be at its best when you get your hands on the game. For this reason, we are forced to postpone the game's release. We are sure you will understand and agree with us, also because we are following the master's teachings: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42846609/4ea9ae37c4b96995f9b7750de1f8ce4d8753808a.jpg In the meantime, our launch trailer is almost ready and we'll be able to share it with you very soon now... Speaking of new content, should we start right away?

Introducing Fulcrum Stories!

Highly requested, we've worked a lot to bring the "Fulcrum Stories" alive! In this game mode, totally aside from the 40+ main criminal cases, you'll be able to freely move between time ticks on a map and look for several characters that you might recognize... Try to uncover their own unique stories! You'll have more than 30 Fulcrum stories to follow! You might even find some cool pop-culture references...

Steam Next Fest

We're part of the Steam Next Fest with a new demo and new cases to solve! You'll be able to play by yourself the Lost Age! The demo features: Case File #000 - The Apartment in Pink - Missing jewels in a fashion victim apartment… A classic case? Find the thief and recover the stolen goods! - This is the introduction/tutorial of the game. Case File #002 - The Red Blood Stained Band - Legendary singer Axl Blood has been the victim of an unexpected accident. What if it was intentional in the end? - This is the very first "real" crime case that comes from the Information Age. Case File #004 - The Brown Billygoat - What is doing this silly goat? - This case is bringing you to the Lost Age, a brand new map that will be playable for the very first time! This time, the demo is available in all languages that are also available in the game so : english, italian, german, spanish, brazilian portuguese and french!

What about other languages?

Crime O'Clock is a crime investigation game, which means that there is a lot of text and investigation to adapt. Non-latin alphabets are always more complicated for european teams to adapt... but the good news is that we have found local partners to help us in this beautiful journey! We're currently working to bring Crime O'Clock in simplified chinese and japanese! We can't wait to share with you these versions. Stay tuned for more news about these languages and even more!
