This update polishes the whole run of a case — from the moment it lands on your desk to the article it leaves in the paper.

◆ THE CALLING CARD ARRIVES SEALED

The Phantom Thief's calling card now reaches your home screen as a sealed envelope, and you are the one who opens it. Fixed along the way: thief cases that wouldn't open after purchase, ability payments going wrong, and narration cutting off mid-sentence. The ICPO delivery animation was polished too — no more envelope left hanging open, no more card snapping shut in a single frame.

◆ CLOSING ARTICLES WORTH READING

The newspaper article that follows a solved case has grown from a short result blurb into a record of the investigation itself: which question turned the tide, which piece of evidence sealed it. Article pages now share the newsprint design of the paper's list view, and the narrator no longer repeats the same form of address in every sentence.

◆ CRIME ADVISOR, CLEANED UP

The Crime Advisor mode now runs on a single unified color scheme, with the profile and turn-log screens brought in line with the other modes. New background art arrived — the alley just before the capture operation, among others — and advisors you haven't traced yet now appear on the dashboard. The chat input bar and the bubbles match a standard investigation.

◆ READABLE IN EVERY LANGUAGE

Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Arabic now use dedicated typefaces, so characters that used to go missing are back. The handwriting font no longer renders CJK or Arabic as blanks. Text overflow and mid-word cutoffs are fixed in German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese; Arabic progress bars now fill right to left as they should; and Traditional Chinese newspaper dates no longer slip into Simplified forms.

◆ ALSO IN THIS UPDATE

• Instant Scan and Perfect Memory draw only on what the case file actually contains

• First launch shows a loading indicator instead of a blank screen

• Guest accounts can be deleted in full from Settings — the account first, then local data, with nothing left behind

• New dashboard backgrounds

• Case-file cards no longer break with two-line titles

• Gear-up screens and dialogs no longer clip their text

◆ FIRST TIME HERE?

Chat of Deduction is a detective mystery. When an investigation can go no further, the case comes to the consulting detective — to you. Read the clues, cross-check the alibis, then name the culprit with the evidence that proves it. Every case is written fresh, so nobody has solved it before you and no walkthrough exists. Take on cold cases, chase the Phantom Thief, and hunt the advisor who plans other people's crimes. Interrogation is free-form, without dialogue options. Start as a guest in seconds.

The next case, as always, is one nobody has ever solved. Happy hunting, detective.
