Key takeaways

1. Silver Palace's story and narrative will play a massive role in the gameplay. The setting and story of the game are heavily inspired by Sherlock Holmes and the works of Agatha Christie. Additionally, the story will also focus on the ideas and atmosphere of the Victorian era.
2. The Development team is focusing more on map details than on map expansion. So players can expect smaller map growth but with more interactable and detailed maps.
3. Monetisation of Silver Palace is still not finalised; the gacha is subject to change.
4. The simplicity of the parry system is meant to accommodate players who are unfamiliar with this type of gameplay. The dev team thinks that a sizable portion of players who will be playing the game are more used to anime games and do not regularly play action games.
5. AI is not used in any portion of the game's development
6. The dev team plans for the launch version to have significantly more than 40 hours of gameplay
7. More characters are planned for CBT3 and release
8. Character cosmetics are currently not being considered for the game.

Now, from an interview by a Korean News website, Inven.
