Finally, announcing a change coming to Methods — the "Mystery Score Update"!! You will no longer have to replay the mystery to proceed if you got too many answers wrong, and will instead get this screen scoring you based on the number of wrong answers (much like MTCF's system).🏆
Surprise!!! I was secretly working on FIle 05 this whole time — and it's set to be launched in May. Here's your first look!!📸
