THE STEAM AWARDS 2021 - Nominate Us!
Hello Gamedecs,
The Steam Awards nominations have just begun like they do every year in November.
It's been two months since the release of Gamedec, and with it, our longtime dream of creating a full-blooded RPG has come true. We will be delighted and honored if you decide to show us your appreciation for the project and nominate it in The Steam Awards 2021.
We felt that what we wanted to achieve with Gamedec would be best suited to the category of "Outstanding Story-Rich Game" (cause, unfortunately, there is no category for "Games where you can be a cat"). 2021 was a fantastic year for gaming, particularly narrative games. We hope that after playing all of these incredible games, the story of Game Detective will be the one you remember.
That's more or less what we'd look like if we won.
You can cast your vote till December 1st,, and if you do so, you can receive a nice badge from Steam - check here for more info.

We meet again, Gamedec.
Since the premiere, we've been monitoring social media to acknowledge your feedback. We hear you, and we know that a lot of you asked for controller support, and we're excited to tell you that it's here!
In today's patch, besides many improvements and fixes we implemented, the controller support has arrived, so be sure to grab your pad and hop into virtualium because many cases are waiting to be solved, no excuses!
We want to thank you for your feedback, speaking up about the bugs or issues of any kind you encountered. Below you'll find the complete list of changes and fixes the Patch 1.3 contains, and I can tell you, a lot of bugs are gone now. Of course, it doesn't mean that we're done here so, please don't hesitate to ping us through steam discussions, our Discord, Twitter, or Facebook in case if you'll encounter any issues or you'd have any questions!
Last but not least: a hotfix will be released next week and it will feature Steam Trading Cards and additional tweaks to the Kickstarter backers content.
Thank you so much for being so supportive; stay safe, and have fun in virtualium! Team Gamedec
