It's over... but far from it. C'est fini... mais pas vraiment.

 Let's be honest: we were expecting more from our Kickstarter campaign. Behind this gentle euphemism, however, there are good things: today, more than 8000 players have downloaded the demo on Steam and nearly 400 of them have already wishlisted Profiler Files – New Orleans. Every day, more of you are discovering our project and sharing your feedback with us. We will obviously reconsider our approach to the game, as it appears from this data that while you like the game's concept, the Japanese visual novel aesthetic might not be the most suitable.

We will take the time to reflect and revise our project. This campaign is a failure, but it does not mark the end of the road for Profiler Files – New Orleans. Stay tuned on Steam, as it is highly likely that the game will continue its journey there and evolve – especially through early access. A big thank you to averyone who supported us. We'll see you soon, promised.

David and the Land Creations team.

Soyons honnêtes : on espérait mieux de notre campagne Kickstarter. Derrière ce doux euphémisme, il y a cependant du positif : si vous n'êtes en effet qu'une vingtaine à avoir participé, vous êtes aujourd'hui plus de 8000 à avoir téléchargé la démo sur Steam et près de 400 à avoir déjà wishlisté Profiler Files – New Orleans. Vous êtes aussi chaque jour un peu plus nombreux à découvrir notre projet et à nous communiquer vos retours. Nous allons évidemment remettre en question notre approche du jeu, car il ressort de ces données que si le principe du jeu vous plaît, l'esthétique visual novel ne semble peut-être pas la plus adaptée.

Nous allons prendre le temps de la réflexion et réviser notre projet. Si cette campagne est un échec, elle ne marque pas pour autant la fin de l'aventure pour Profiler Files – New Orleans : restez aux aguets sur Steam, car il est fort probable que le jeu y poursuive sa route et évolue – notamment via l'early access. Un grand merci à tous ceux qui nous ont soutenus. On vous dit à bientôt, promis.

David et toute l'équipe de Land Creations.

Profiler Files - New Orleans and the Principle of Uncertainty / Profiler Files - New Orleans et le principe d'incertitude

Hi! This is David, the designer of Profiler Files – New Orleans . I'm taking advantage of being just a few days away from the release of the playable demo on Steam and the launch of our Kickstarter campaign to tell you a bit about our "philosophy" in the game – what I call our "principle of uncertainty." In many games, choices are guided, and often, after several clues and dialogues, you can guess what might be the "right" choices and the "wrong" choices. We didn't want anything like that for Profiler Files – New Orleans . In a sense, we wanted to reflect the real world, in that every choice and decision can have consequences, but in any case, life goes on... and we never have absolute certainty.  It's the same in Profiler Files – New Orleans : there is no "game over," no bad choice that leads to a dead end (or at least not before the very end of the game). Whatever the outcome of an episode, the game continues. But, of co...

 English version  ( Cliquez ici pour la version française ) What is ? Profiler Files - New Orleans is a unique narrative investigation game, blending comedy and thriller, with strong and quirky characters, in a somewhat... strange New Orleans setting! Imagine something between Ace Attorney and Criminal Minds . Yep, quite a gap, right?  As a young FBI agent freshly landed in the field, you will face all sorts of situations and encounter a variety of characters. Your choices, your intuition, and your deductions will dictate the course of the story .  How you interact with characters, the clues you find at crime scenes, and the psychological analysis you perform on suspects, victims, and other protagonists will determine the progression of the adventure, the success or failure of each investigation... and, of course, the outcome of the game and the central arc of Profiler Files - New Orleans . The game features: A branching storyline with multiple endings A da...
