- Make sure to grab the game while it's free! - 12 July 2023
Hey all! We just want to quickly remind everyone to get the game for free, while it remains in Early Access. As it looks like today, the game will hit version 1.0 and leave Early Access (hence, no longer be free) within a few months. Even though version 1.0 will be released, it doesn't mean the polishing, nor the updates, will stop. It just means, it is basically feature complete of all major features, including the ending, and it should no longer be regarded as a prototype. But that's hopefully in a few months! So make sure to grab the game now, install it, while it's free and remains in Early Access, and it should be free forever for you! As always, thanks to everyone who is trying out the game. We keep polishing and improving the game, based on all feedback, so we are truly appreciative to everyone who tries it! :)
- Steam Achievements - 7 June 2023
Hey all! We are happy to say that we have no implemented all our in-game achievements to proper Steam achievements. Meaning, there is, currently, now, 54 achievements you can try to find and achieve in the game. Here's the kicker though; We have made all achievements hidden by default, meaning these achievements are less like progression rewards, but more like various Easter Eggs. This is a mystery game after all :) Since these are more like Easter Eggs, we don't want to reveal or spoil anything else more than what the title says, which is a clue to what the achievement is about. We don't expect players to actively go achievement hunting, but for those who want, feel free to share and post your discoveries! Once again, thank you all for play testing the game! We really appreciate all the people who boot up the game and just talk to Emma! Thanks!

Hey all! Just a quick update! We are constantly trying to make Emma smarter and better to answer all the questions you guys are asking here, so we have just rolled out a new update with new and improved answers, achievements and notes! Thanks for playing and giving us feedback!

Hey all! We are constantly trying to make Emma smarter and better to answer all the questions you guys are throwing at her. Based on that, we've just rolled out an update that makes Emma slightly more intelligent and she is able to answer some more questions now!
- Notebook added! - 12 February 2023
Hey all! We have been thinking hard on how to add some kind of a system in the game that helps players navigate between all the information this game has. But we also wanted to create a system that does not actually spoil the plot for the player, something easier said than done. Based on that, we are new introducing a new system called the "Notebook" into the game. Each time you discover key information regarding the plot, it will be added in your Notebook, so over time, the more key information you discover, the more it will be populated. However, in order to not spoil the plot or all the characters in the game, we are still keeping them hidden. Please feel free try it out and and we are looking forward to your feedback!
- Quick history and new & improved answers - 7 January 2023
Hey all! Based on feedback, we have now added a simple "History" menu option which contains the last recent asked questions and answers. We also did a monthly update to what Emma knows and responds with. We are still working on the most asked feature; a detective board to help the player understand what to ask, because Emma knows so much. This is extremely tricky for us to implement, because one of the core principles of this game is allow the player to act as a detective and we don't want to implement a system that basically spoils the story. However, we are working on something called a "Notebook", which is not really a detective board, but is still a tool to help players. The first version of this should be implemented within a month. But as always, if you have any feedback or suggestions or how to improve the game, feel free to join the Discord server! Thank you for reading and than…
- Happy New Year! - 29 December 2022
Hey all! First of all, we want to wish you all a Happy New Year and best wishes going forward! Secondly, we have done another new update with a bunch of small fixes; we've added a new intro sequence with Simon as an experiment, done some various game improvements and finally also updated and improved a bunch of answers and voice lines. We have also created a brand new Discord server (population 1), so if you have feedback or ideas of improvements, etc, feel free to join and share your opinions! Once again, have a great happy new year!

- In-game achievements - 21 October 2022
Hey all! We have managed to re-implement the in-game achievements for the 3D version from the 2D version. Right now, these are not Steam achievements (but we will make them into real Steam achievements later on), and the visuals are not finished (they seem a bit too happy for an immersive thriller game). But, we are happy to say that there are currently 43 (and we will add more) achievements to discover in the game! As always, don't trust Emma!
- There is now an in-game feedback system - 21 October 2022
Hey al! Feedback on how to improve the game, bugs and suggestions, is important to us. So to easier collect as much feedback as possible, we've added a Feedback form in-game. So, feel free to use that to send us any comments! Thanks for reading!
- There is now a Stats menu - 18 October 2022
Hey all! Case #1472 is a mystery interrogation game, and we are thinking really hard of what information and clues we can give the player without spoiling the story, but still help them along. So, as a first step on this journey, we have now added a "Stats" menu that contains various (useless) information to the player about their game play. As the game keeps on being developed, we will try and add even more (useless) information to that screen! Also, thanks to all the feedback so far, they are really helping us!
- The game is now in 3D and in Early Access! - 15 October 2022
Greetings! What a strange journey this has been so far! We know we've been really really quiet the last few months regarding this game. A game that started out as a fun "proof of concept" that got released as Steam Playtest, but thanks to so many people playing it (and doing YouTube videos of their let's play), we decided to step things up! So, we've rewritten this game into a Unity 3D version. The same concept applies; You are thrown into an unknown situation where you are interrogating a mysterious woman, but now.. Emma is in 3D! - And, we've found an amazing voice actress for Emma as well! To keep things short; We still have lots to do (hence, it is release as an Early Access), but we are committed in seeing how far this project can go! Thanks for reading, and as always - Don't trust everything Emma says! Sincerely, Broken at Release Game Studio
- More & Improved Answers - 21 July 2022
Hey all! This is just a quick update, but we've done additional improvements with her dialogue, so she should give better answers. We also just want to say thanks to everyone giving us feedback! The number one feedback we are getting is "I don't know what to do or ask". We are planing to create a detective board to help players map things out, so they know what they should question and why, however this is in the future. We actually want to experiment to create a 3D version of this game, to see if it becomes more immersive, so that is next on our list! But keep giving us feedback, it does help us improve the game concept!
- The game now has YouTube safe music! - 25 June 2022
Hey all! We know how annoying this is for gaming content creators, so we are we are happy to say that the game now has a custom made music soundtrack! Meaning you can play the game (or upload a video play-through) on any platform without the fear of being Copyright claimed or muted! Yay!

We just wanted to say that we have done some updates to the game! - We've improved and additional answers to the game! - We've also added more achievements - Lastly, as you might have noticed, we have changed the game's logotype and art-work outside the game! As always, we also would like to thank everyone who continuously gives us feedback! We appreciate all the feedback we are getting on all our channels (from in-game to DMs) in order to improve the game! Thank you!
- Introducing achievements - 4 June 2022
Hey all! We've been experimenting with adding some kind of an achievement system into the game, because we think it would be fun to reward players asking certain questions! However, since the detailed story plot is such an important part of the core, we don't want to create a system that would somehow reveal or spoil the story. So we've decided to create a set of achievements, but let them remain hidden until they are achieved. We would love to get feedback on this system and if it is good or bad and how it can be improved going forward!
- More & Improved Answers - 27 May 2022
Hey all! We've done an additional update with even more improved and additional answers! We are also working on some other new features, such as achievements and music, so stay tuned!
