- 《幽影密讯》流程优化，不喜欢解谜环节的玩家可以直奔案件 - 27 January 2025
大家好，自昨天《幽影密讯》上线以来，我们收到了许多小伙伴的反馈意见。 我们意识到解谜环节与《山河旅探》本体的玩法存在较大的差异，尤其是ARG解谜玩法需要大家反复在游戏外的多个媒介之间转跳给大家带来了许多操作上的麻烦和不便。 为了让大家能更加直奔主题，更快进入案件本身，我们将提供如下便利： 如果您不希望解谜，可以直接点击下方资料库，查看所有通过解谜获得的线索资料： 直接探案 如果您希望体验ARG解谜（解谜过程中需要在游戏外不同社交软件中寻找线索），您可以通过如下链接，查看解谜过程中的提示信息： 我要解谜 您可以根据您的喜好，选择任一一个路径进行游戏，两条路径也并不是互斥的。 需要特别提示的是，如果您达到如下界面，没有新的对话出现，此处并不是bug，而是需要开始破解第一个谜题，如果您不喜欢解谜，可以直接从上方链接进入案件资料库，资料会指引您进入破案环节。 感谢大家的反馈意见！
- 《幽影密讯》免费DLC Steam现已发布！ - 26 January 2025
大家好，感谢大家的支持！ 《山河旅探》联动《唐探1900》的免费DLC《幽影密讯》已经预发布啦！大家更新Steam游戏包就可以获得。《幽影密讯》比原定的1月29日时间早两天，在接下来的几天内，我们将会根据大家反馈对游戏进行调整。如下是大家可能关心的一些问题： Q：DLC游戏时长多久？ A：约3-5个小时，取决于您对解谜游戏的熟练程度； Q：是否需要下载专门的DLC安装包？ A：此次更新的DLC无需额外下载专门的安装包，只需等待新版本发布后更新游戏本体即可体验； Q：领取服饰奖励是否有时间限制？ A: 通关后解锁的主角服饰奖励无时间限制，DLC上线后您可随时完成游戏并领取奖励； Q：是否需要先通关游戏本体？ 开启DLC内容前，我们强烈建议您先通关游戏本体。完成后，可通过主菜单的章节选择功能自由跳转至任意章节节点； Q：跟本体的玩法有什么不同？ 此次DLC为解谜和探案双线并行，需要提醒大家的是，许多解谜环节并不局限于游戏本体内，需要大家开阔思路，在可能之处寻找线索。 Q：Mac是否会同步更新？ 非常抱歉，DLC的Mac版本仍在制作中，我们计划于春节后正式推出，敬请期待！ 也有许多小伙伴问我们在6月份的时候曾发布过关于山河旅探第一款DLC《夺命幻戏》的预告PV，这一款DLC的进度如何呢？与上文提到的《幽影密讯》又有什么关系呢？ 其实在12月份的时候，我们曾发布过一个关于《夺命幻戏》不得不的延期的说明。 《夺命幻戏》延期的原因在于，在项目组内部测试阶段，我们发现已经完成的案件体验非常糟糕。经过一些艰难评估后，我们决定推翻案件的底层设计，从剧本阶段重新来过。在最开始的计划中，《夺命幻戏》是一个发生在魔术舞台上的案件，因此我们希望结合魔术手法来进行案件的诡计设计。但在测试中发现，案件的解密过程——也就是揭露魔术手法的过程，特别像《走进科学》，在揭示真相后，会给人很强的“就这……”的感觉。这种天谜地解的情况，与我们期待的反转感有很大的落差。 这个问题在项目早期的剧本阶段就有所暴露，但当时我们误认为那是文字的表现力不足造成的，因此没有及时进行纠正。我们又复盘了一些其它同类型的推理作品…

- The solution to the bug in the second half of Chapter Five - 23 March 2024
Hello everyone, After updating the new storyline yesterday, we received feedback from some players that if they had already played up to Chapter Five before the update, they might encounter a display error during the deduction part at the London Police Department, which could prevent the game from continuing. If you have encountered this issue, you can solve it by selecting the chapter from the main menu, then choosing Chapter Five and selecting the most recent chapter checkpoint to continue the game. This bug occurs randomly, mainly due to some incompatibilities between old version saves and new version saves. We are currently working on fixing this issue and expect to release an update to resolve it next week. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
