Hello everyone, in our latest update, we have disabled the game reset button in the settings to prevent accidental use that could lead to the loss of saved progress. If you wish to experience the game again after completing it or attempt to achieve all accomplishments, you can use the Chapter Select feature from the main menu to replay previous chapters.

Hi, we have updated the game for fixing some game experience problems in the recently released cross-event.
Unfortunately, this cross-event currently only supports simplified Chinese.
Thanks for your understanding.

大家好，自昨天《幽影密讯》上线以来，我们收到了许多小伙伴的反馈意见。

我们意识到解谜环节与《山河旅探》本体的玩法存在较大的差异，尤其是ARG解谜玩法需要大家反复在游戏外的多个媒介之间转跳给大家带来了许多操作上的麻烦和不便。

为了让大家能更加直奔主题，更快进入案件本身，我们将提供如下便利：

如果您不希望解谜，可以直接点击下方资料库，查看所有通过解谜获得的线索资料：

直接探案[resource.itaotuo.com]


如果您希望体验ARG解谜（解谜过程中需要在游戏外不同社交软件中寻找线索），您可以通过如下链接，查看解谜过程中的提示信息：

我要解谜[resource.itaotuo.com]


您可以根据您的喜好，选择任一一个路径进行游戏，两条路径也并不是互斥的。

需要特别提示的是，如果您达到如下界面，没有新的对话出现，此处并不是bug，而是需要开始破解第一个谜题，如果您不喜欢解谜，可以直接从上方链接进入案件资料库，资料会指引您进入破案环节。

感谢大家的反馈意见！

大家好，感谢大家的支持！

Q：跟本体的玩法有什么不同？
此次DLC为解谜和探案双线并行，需要提醒大家的是，许多解谜环节并不局限于游戏本体内，需要大家开阔思路，在可能之处寻找线索。

Q：Mac是否会同步更新？
非常抱歉，DLC的Mac版本仍在制作中，我们计划于春节后正式推出，敬请期待！

也有许多小伙伴问我们在6月份的时候曾发布过关于山河旅探第一款DLC《夺命幻戏》的预告PV，这一款DLC的进度如何呢？与上文提到的《幽影密讯》又有什么关系呢？

其实在12月份的时候，我们曾发布过一个关于《夺命幻戏》不得不的延期的说明。

《夺命幻戏》延期的原因在于，在项目组内部测试阶段，我们发现已经完成的案件体验非常糟糕。经过一些艰难评估后，我们决定推翻案件的底层设计，从剧本阶段重新来过。在最开始的计划中，《夺命幻戏》是一个发生在魔术舞台上的案件，因此我们希望结合魔术手法来进行案件的诡计设计。但在测试中发现，案件的解密过程——也就是揭露魔术手法的过程，特别像《走进科学》，在揭示真相后，会给人很强的“就这……”的感觉。这种天谜地解的情况，与我们期待的反转感有很大的落差。

这个问题在项目早期的剧本阶段就有所暴露，但当时我们误认为那是文字的表现力不足造成的，因此没有及时进行纠正。我们又复盘了一些其它同类型的推理作品，发现涉及到揭露魔术手法的桥段，都有类似的问题。这让我们痛苦地意识到，我们在走的这条路，很可能从根源上就是走不通的。

经过一些反思，我们意识到，想要设计出一个好的魔术杀人案件，对于魔术，我们应该取其神，而不是取其形。为此，我们去自学了一些魔术课程，又专门拜访了几位魔术师，才逐渐体会到：魔术是一项表演艺术，魔术手法并不是它的核心；它的精髓在于注意力控制，也就是网上常说的“misdirection”——错误引导。

因此，我们决定重新出发，推翻原有的剧本，用新的理念，重新设计案件的核心诡计。

在发布延期声明后，有许多小伙伴也来问是否可以把《夺命幻戏》的废案也放出来。在我们思考后，我们决定把废案中的部分元素进行再创作加工，加入了一些我们后来开发中的灵感，形成了一套新的方案，那就是大家即将体验到的《幽影密讯》。

非常抱歉《夺命幻戏》要让大家多等待一些时间了。但请相信，我们会用更高的标准完成这个DLC，不辜负大家的期待。还请多给我们一些耐心。我们会用更充分的时间，为大家带来一个更好的案件设计！

各位玩家久等了！经过我们多日策划，
.<(￣.￣)>.<(￣.￣)>.<(￣.￣)>.[resource.itaotuo.com]<(￣.￣)>.
我们的联动活动终于将要在一月底开启了！

Hello everyone! Thank you for your support of Murders on the Yangtze River.

During the Chinese New Year period, Murders on the Yangtze River will be collaborating with an upcoming film that is set to release during the Chinese New Year.

This crossover event, titled Messages from the Shadow, will be a large-scale, reality-intrusive mystery puzzle chapter that spans history, games, and the real world. As a historical detective game, Messages from the Shadow also brings a mysterious case based on real historical events. It takes place in 1910, in the Far East's financial hub—Shanghai. In this turbulent era, a storm that will change the course of Chinese history is about to hit the banks of the Huangpu River.

The crossover event is scheduled to go live on January 26, Beijing time. However, we regret to inform you that some of the puzzles are designed in a way that may require a certain level of understanding of Chinese to complete, and some clues are hidden in Simplified Chinese social media platforms such as Weibo and Bilibili. Accessing these social websites may be difficult for users outside of mainland China.

However, from January 27 to February 10, during the Chinese New Year, Murders on the Yangtze River will be offering a special low-discount promotion. If you're interested, don't miss out!

Once again, thank you for your support and wish you happiness and all the best in the new year!

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!
