Ⓛⓞⓥⓔ GE玩家朋友们好， 近期游戏迎来了一些新的玩家，非常感谢大家的支持！ 不过有一个现象可能需要提一下。随着游戏一次次的更新，游戏的功能和文本都发生了变化。换句话说，游戏现在的状态已经和刚上线不久时不一样了。 目前网上可以搜到的《真探》攻略和视频（非常感谢这些文字、视频作者们！），大部分都是在游戏发售初期制作的。但这些作品是具有时效性的，很难将游戏未来的变化涵盖进去。这也就导致新玩家参考旧攻略，反而出现了卡关的问题。 在这种情况下，建议您不要憋着，不妨加入游戏官方讨论Q群…
Ⓛⓞⓥⓔ GE玩家朋友们好， 本次Steam夏促此期间得到了很多玩家的反馈和支持，非常感谢！ 但同时，也看到了一些玩家对于游戏的不满和疑惑。在此建议还未购买《真探》的玩家，不要只看评价如何如何，也不要抱有过高的期待，务必先尝试Demo是否合口味，再决定是否入手。 也始终欢迎玩家们加入游戏官方讨论Q群 784403763，来说说您遇到的问题和不满之处，也欢迎直接与开发者（群主）私聊沟通。…

Ⓛⓞⓥⓔ GE玩家朋友们好， 自上次更新以来，《真探》的游戏体验改进还在继续。很感谢这段时间大家的反馈建议和理解支持！ 为了尽可能让大家较为舒适地进行游戏，今天我们推送了如下更新，并将对beta 测试的事情进行说明： 今日更新 1. 现在游戏界面主要内容的字体可以放大一些了。 部分玩家反馈到，在进行大量游戏文本阅读的过程中，会产生视觉疲劳的情况。这个确实是在开发过程中欠考虑的地方，对此感到抱歉。 现在在游戏设置中的右下角可以找到放大字体的选项，可以一定程度上缓解视觉疲劳的问题。…
