Hello detectives!
Some players who use Mac encounter a game crash when launching games on Steam after update the latest Mac system (macOS Sequoia 15.0.1)
We have identified this as a system compatibility issue and are urgently working on a fix. Please be patient. For those who are eager to experience the game, we recommend not upgrading to the new Mac system or waiting until this issue is resolved before continuing to play. We apologize for the poor gaming experience this has caused you!

Hello, detectives! The first DLC of "Murders on the Yangtze River" titled "The Last Magic Trick" has just released its first PV!

"Magic, a trick of deception
A cunning art to manipulate attention
On stage, the magician’s feats mystify
With dazzling displays
and bold pretension
Yet they were merely disguise
His true intent
Hides in plain sight, among the subtle details"

After the Shanghai case was closed, Mr. Shen needed to temporarily leave Shanghai and return to Yangzhou to recuperate. During this period, someone mysteriously died during a magic performance at the Lyceum Theater. Who is the murderer? Is murder the ultimate purpose of this crime? What conspiracy will be revealed under these layers of mysteries?

The main characters of the DLC are tentatively set to include journalist Wen Ko-hsin, Shen Zhongping, and Ah Fu, who will all play important roles in the DLC. We hope the new gameplay and case design will bring a refreshing experience to everyone. Stay tuned!

In addition, the Steam Summer Sale is in full swing, and "Murders on the Yangtze River" is available at a new historical low discount.

Hello everyone, we are excited to announce that at the end of June, Murders on the Yangtze River will be bringing a series of updates and events:

New Version Release: We are planning to release a new version of Murders on the Yangtze River next week. In this version, we are introducing the Traditional Chinese version of the game. It is important to note that the game’s voiceovers are still in Simplified Chinese, so there may be some differences between the voiceovers and the Traditional Chinese subtitles. However, all subtitles have been localized according to the conventions of Traditional Chinese-using regions.

New Features and Optimizations:
1) Skip Button: We have added a skip button in the chase sequence of Chapter 5 and the infiltration sequence of Chapter 6. If you are unable to pass these sequences after several attempts, you can choose to skip them.
2) Hint System: A new hint system has been added to help players navigate the game better.
3) Performance Optimization: Comprehensive optimizations have been made to enhance the overall game performance and experience.
4) UI Enhancements: Some UI elements have been optimized.
5) Bug Fixes: Several known bugs have been fixed.
6) English version Enhancements: English subtitles improved.

Due to the new version's code architecture being different from the old version, reading old save files may still cause game anomalies despite our efforts. Therefore, we recommend that after updating, you do not load old save files but continue the game through the [Chapter Select] feature and then save again. Your unlocked achievements, collectibles, and endings will not be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

DLC Preview: At the end of June, we will release the preview of the first DLC for Murders on the Yangtze River, titled The Last Magic Trick. Interested players can look forward to the trailer.

Steam Summer Sale: During the 14-day Steam Summer Sale starting on June 28, Murders on the Yangtze River will be available at a 20% discount, the lowest price ever. Interested players should not miss out!

Thank you for your continued support and love. We hope you continue to enjoy the adventures in Murders on the Yangtze River!

Hello everyone, thank you for your attention and support for Murders on the Yangtze River!

After the release of “Murders on the Yangtze River”, many players have been asking about when the first DLC will be released and what it will be about.
Taking advantage of the Eastern Game Festival, we are very glad to reveal our DLC plans!

Firstly, what can we say about the first DLC?
As we all know, after the final case, Mr. Shen needs to temporarily leave Shanghai and recuperate in Yangzhou. During this time, someone is murdered in the midst of a magic performance in Lyceum Theater. Who is the murderer, and what conspiracies will be uncovered?
Currently, the main character in the DLC is tentatively the journalist Wen Ko-hsin, but Mr. Shen and Ah Fu will also play important roles in the DLC!
Of course, the above storyline is just a little tidbit of information. Changes to the storyline direction based on actual developments during game production are also very likely to occur.
We aim to elevate the suspense and freshness of the case, bringing a new gameplay experience and case design to everyone!
Secondly, when will the first DLC be released?
All we can say is, as soon as possible! In fact, after the Spring Festival, our team members have already intensively started learning various magic techniques and have even hired professional magicians as case design consultants.
According to plot designers, there is already an initial plan for the murder case, but of course, there is still a long way to go before the final version is ready to meet everyone. We will do our best to expedite!
Currently, we hope to meet everyone with the first DLC within the year!
Lastly, besides the first DLC, will there be any more to follow?
It is highly likely! In fact, there are several mysteries in the main story that have not been revealed yet, such as who Shanghai Phantom is or if there are hidden secrets behind Ah Fu’s father’s explosion case.
These stories have been brewing in the minds of our team members for some time, and we hope to unveil them gradually.
Apart from the DLC plans, we will soon release the official theme song for “Murders on the Yangtze River”!

In conclusion, please continue to follow our game!

Hello everyone,

After updating the new storyline yesterday, we received feedback from some players that if they had already played up to Chapter Five before the update, they might encounter a display error during the deduction part at the London Police Department, which could prevent the game from continuing.

If you have encountered this issue, you can solve it by selecting the chapter from the main menu, then choosing Chapter Five and selecting the most recent chapter checkpoint to continue the game.

This bug occurs randomly, mainly due to some incompatibilities between old version saves and new version saves. We are currently working on fixing this issue and expect to release an update to resolve it next week.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
