A Shot in the Dark - Chapter 3 (V0.25) has been released! 

You can purchase the base game for $5 here on Itch, and access the Walkthrough + Guide version for an additional $5.

(If you have paid for the game in the past on Itch and cannot access the newest version, please let us know.)

We made major changes to the foundation/codebase of the game with this update, which we anticipated might cause issues with old saves.

Known/potential issues with this update:

Some testers reported issues opening old saves: For some testers, opening old saves sent them to the beginning of the scene in question. Some testers received an error upon opening an old save they were able to Ignore without further issue. Some saves were entirely unusable. Saves that open onto a choice seemed to present the most issues.

If you encounter problems with old saves: We suggest saving over any problematic saves you find so you are not tempted to use them in the future. You should not have any problems with new playthroughs or new saves made this update.

Some testers reported issues with their Memories gallery: This seemed more likely to be a problem on Android. A few testers encountered issues trying to replay Memories they'd already unlocked.

If your unlocked Memories are not working properly: Try closing and reopening your game. Play through the entire part of the game again where the Memory happened. Make sure you get all the way to the end of the scene because that's where Memories are unlocked. As a last ditch effort we included a "Reset All Memories" button in the Options menu. It will LOCK the entire Memory gallery and you will need to play through the game again to unlock each one.

As always, some Android devices will encounter issues with playing this game, especially as it increases in size. We did our best to optimize the UX/UI for Android players. If you encounter issues on your Android device please let us know and we will try to help!

Interactive Walkthrough ($10+) version only: In the Love Interest Priority List, you can drag love interests to a number slot, but can't drag them away. You have to reset the whole list to undo the order. We have a solution for this where you can drag love interests back to the middle without resetting the whole list. Once it's been thoroughly tested, it will be included a future update/build.
