Crime or Punishment 2.0.0 - Major Update For Demo And Steam Release!


Hello everyone, and thank you for your patience! We were planning on adding a bit of content for update 1.3, but we kept adding features, art and dialogue, and we've gotten to a point where we feel the 2.0 nomenclature is more fitting. The main highlights of the update: 

  • All new scenes, in the detective's office, replacing the previous intro and epilogue
  • A number of cutscenes, all fully voiced with customized character portraits
  • Two new original music tracks, one for the main menu and one for the ending
  • A full UI Rework
  • New character animations for the detective, and two new fully animated characters
  • A rework of some of the evidence, addressing some issues that emerged during playtests
  • The game is now on Steam! You can find it at https://store.steampowered.com/app/2907090/Crime_or_Punishment/
  • There's also an easter egg ;)

Overall, we're super proud of the work we've put in in the last few weeks, and we hope you'll enjoy playing the new version of the game as much as we enjoyed making it!
