A fun fact we recently learned: Detective Instinct (探偵の眼) is #2 in download-only titles on the Japanese eShop 😮 Absolutely mind-blowing!
Wonder if we can get America to take notice in the same way 🤔

One of the best comments I've heard about our game - and all games in this genre, really - is this:
"This is a game about figuring out what you're supposed to do, then doing everything else instead!"
Be curious. Check everything. Give the wrong answers. You won't regret it! 😄

Been playing Detective Instinct and I love how Emma actually comments on how long it takes for you to answer the door in chapter 1 if you spend too much time looking around your room. That didn't happen in the demo so it surprised me. It's a fun detail that makes the characters feel a bit more real.

Because many have asked - yes, I'm working on putting together Detective Instinct's OST for release in multiple places! I may even throw in some bonus tracks/demos and liner notes 👀
What's some of your favorite music from the game? 🎵

Detective Instinct is selling more copies in Japan than any other country 😮
It moves me deeply that something we created is resonating with audiences globally, and I can't thank our JP translator Lone and editor Toku enough for their amazing work!
Let's keep up the momentum 👍
