Murders & Mistresses has an officially announced update, with patch notes published for v1.0.0.3. The first patch since its Steam release introduces autosave controls alongside bug fixes and corrections to images and animations.
The new autosave setting in Options lets players turn autosaves off; saving on every choice remains the default. The patch notes recommend reducing autosave frequency if choices have been causing hitches or freezes. Autosaves are also now disabled in Real Life Mode.
In cases 1–3, pressing I now highlights only things you haven't already examined, while doors and exits always light up. Case chapter title cards now display the case number, and the flowchart has a new question-mark button that opens its tutorial.
Right-clicking in the journal now puts down the idea you're holding, with a second right-click closing the journal. The journal tutorial and question-mark menu explain that the order in which you pick up ideas doesn't matter. The tutorial also clarifies Prioritize: when two case theories contradict each other, the prioritized theory wins.
The Remove all case theories command no longer deletes theories the story gave you or leaves you holding a theory it just deleted. The main-menu flowchart's marriage picker now offers only marriage types compatible with the selected scene.
The update fixes an error that prevented the Mac version from starting properly. Wine o'Clock, Exit Strategy and Title of Your Something Tape now unlock on Steam. Players who already earned those achievements in-game will receive their Steam unlocks the next time they launch the game.
