Finally, announcing a change coming to Methods β€” 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).πŸ†

File 05 is currently 95% complete, with only the translation and some polish/testing remaining!
