Castle of Shikigami V1.0.4 Released (BGM playback fix)
We just released version 1.0.4 with the following updates:
Fixed BGM not playing on some systems
Other minor improvements
Apologies for the delay in getting this fixed: it wasn't something that came up during testing or (obviously) we would have addressed it before launch.
Edit (6/25):
If you still have problems with sound playback, go to Options and switch "Auto detect sound device" a different device then select "Back" to save settings.
Please make sure you have the latest OpenAL drivers installed too.
One other possible cause could be multiple sound devices (monitor via HDMI, USB headphones etc), so if the problem persists, please try unplugging any sound devices you can and rebooting the game.
Don't forget the score contest (details here) either!
A shooting game is released from the steamy Summer streets of Tokyo.
That's right, it's time to call the paranormal investigators, because Castle of Shikigami is out now. And to celebrate, we have a hi-score contest!
