That strange news report?

The developer distinguishes television news events from the world's investigation objects. Check the right kind of mystery before retracing the whole town.
THE VERSION DESK
Good notes need
a date.
The full game is scheduled for September 10. During our September 10 source check, Steam still showed it as not yet available. The detailed routes here draw on the Demo and the developer-endorsed wiki; they have not been tested in the release build.
