    Hi everyone,

    My first game, Mystery in the Office, launched on Steam and Epic Games Store! :)

    Play on Steam | Epic Games Store
    It is a an immersive text-based game that takes you on a journey through an abandoned office with a history of terrible management, mysteriously locked from the outside. You'll explore a series of highly interactive rooms, uncovering clues to unlock the exit, and finally unravel the mystery of why the office was abandoned.

    One unique aspect of the game is the sarcastic and ironic tone that permeates every message that you'll encounter. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's meant to make you smile as you solve puzzles and uncover the truth about what happened in the office.

    Take a look at the launch trailer below.


    Let me know what you think about it.
    If you decide to play the game, please help me with a review :D (it would mean a lot!)

    Awesome.

    I like the ways you added your gameplay elements seamlessly into a well-known asset pack, it shows the power of leveraging your strengths to get a game finished and released. The fact it's a mystery is really cool. It looks promising, and wish you luck with it.

    I'm thrilled to introduce a feature that enhances the accessibility and overall enjoyment of Mystery in the Office for our global community of players.

    Play on Steam | Epic Games Store

    We've gone the extra mile by localizing the game into multiple languages, ensuring that even more players can fully immerse themselves in our captivating narrative.
    Whether you're an English speaker or prefer to delve into the mysteries of the abandoned office in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, German, or Italian, you can now experience the game in a language that feels most natural to you. Simply head to the Settings menu and select your preferred language!

    But that's not all! Here is a rundown of all the improvements in version 1.2.1.

    What's New:
    • Expanded language support with game localization in multiple languages

    Improvements:
    • Tapes are now marked as 'used' only after users listen to the entire dialogue.
    • Enhanced visual clarity with improved contrast and brightness
    • Upgraded to the latest Long-Term Support version of Unity

    Bug Fixes:
    • Tapes were removed from the inventory as soon as the user started listening to them. This issue has been resolved to wait for the end of the dialogue.
    • The clickable area of the Exit button was overlapping with the 'Back' text in the Settings menu. The area has been reduced to avoid issues.
    I hope you thoroughly enjoy this latest update! Be sure to stay tuned for more thrilling announcements and updates on the horizon. Happy gaming!
    Please consider leaving a review. This would mean a lot to us :)
