Hello everyone, and happy 12/28 (IYKYK!) Today's the day- Case 3 and One Thousand Acts of Decency Mobile are finally available for download!

Case 3

For Peace and Love, I Present My Feast Ordained to an Honorable End, the third case of One Thousand Acts of Decency just launched, boasting over 120,000 words, more than fifty new illustrations, and a dozen new songs! I'm so excited for you to play it, as I think it might very well be the best OTAOD case so far! Want to learn more? Take a look at the trailer I put together showing you what's in store for this next episode of OTAOD

In a derelit chemical plant known Xedex Industries, filmmaker Melanie Moore makes a fateful call to Chive, demanding his immediate presence, purporting something important to be going on with Shallot. Arriving at the facility, Chive meets Oscar, who was also invited for obscure reasons. In the midst of trying to determine what exactly is going on with the guerilla film, Melanie, and Shallot, the group learns that a murder had occurred at that very factory, with every clue pointing towards Shallot himself.

Solving a murder is tough enough, but with no sign of the victim's body, things become exponentially harder for Chive and his friends. As they navigate Xedex Industries, they learn that the animals on the scene aren't as well-intentioned as the film they were working on. Hubert- a chameleon with a harsh, callous outlook and an unwillingness to help, Mateo- a cold, aloof composer who desires no part in the investigation, and even Melanie herself- as virtuous as she claims to be, it's clear that she also isn't being forthright with anyone... Each one seems to have their own dark secrets and motives, leaving Chive with the monumental task of picking apart their lies and identifying the betrayals at hand. By the end of the case, Chive, Oscar, and Shallot will be fundamentally changed by the truths revealed at Xedex Industries.

OTAOD for Android

After months of work, the Android port of OTAOD is finally ready to launch! This port contains every single bit of content in the PC release- all three cases, now optimized for mobile devices. I'm so happy to be expanding the reach of OTAOD and making it more accessible than ever!

The Android port includes a ton of UI changes to allow it to be fully operated with just a touch screen- no keyboard, controller, or mouse required! Now you can take the puzzling and exciting world of OTAOD with you wherever you go, whether that be a train, a bus, or just the comfort of your own home.

Whether you're a long-time player looking to experience the game in a more convenient manner, or a first-time player excited to be able to jump into OTAOD on your Android advice, I hope you enjoy this huge step in One Thousand Acts of Decency's development!

Changes

While the main attractions have already been laid out, I do want to make not of some of the other changes included in this update in case anyone's curious.

• Settings are now loaded on launch as opposed to when the game scene is first loaded

Going Forward

The next few weeks will be focused on keeping my ear to the ground: while my friends and I have done extensive playtesting, I'll want to make sure I'm able to patch out absolutely anything that arises, just in case one or two odds and ends slip through the cracks.

That being said, there's also a lot of new stuff I ought to get work on. After all, the story of One Thousand Acts of Decency doesn't conclude with Case 3!
