Steam Cloud Saving Added

This latest update adds Steam Cloud support for Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders (PC and Mac).

Once you open the game after updating to v1.3.1, all your saves will be transferred to Steam’s cloud save system. If you have synchronization enabled, this means your saves will stay on Steam's servers as long as you are connected to your account.

Official Support for Chapters Menu

Previously available only for testers and the development team, we also added the highly-requested "Chapters" menu. This allows players to jump back to the start of any chapter they choose. Players who finished the game prior to updating to v1.3.1 can also access this feature.

All players can now open this menu by accessing the "Main" menu or the in-game "Pause" menu. From one of those menus, open the "Load" menu. Then, press "j" on your keyboard to open the "Chapters" menu.

Have fun!
