The game has been rebuilt in our new Unity engine so it no longer requires Adobe Flash Player. It also now includes text-to-speech support for all onscreen text, as well as captioning and the ability to pause and resume play for all animated scenes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/games\/city-of-immigrants\/\">Play it now!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note a couple minor release issues we hope to resolve soon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Users using Safari on Mac will NOT be able to see the video when Lena enters 47 Orchard Street for the first time. They will see a black screen and can click on the &#8220;Skip&#8221; button in the lower-right to proceed to the next scene. It will work on Chrome on Mac and on other devices. (We are working to implement a workaround for this minor issue.)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Some users using Chrome or Edge on PC are unable to type into the login fields within the game window. These users should still be able to log in by clicking  the global &#8220;Log in&#8221; link on the upper right corner of the webpage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>New downloadable versions and an iPad version of <em><strong>City of Immigrants<\/strong> <\/em>are in the works, to be released later this year. (Note that the currently available downloadable version is still the original Flash-based version.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, a reminder about the other remaining Flash-based <em>Mission US <\/em>games: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The\u00a0<em>Mission US\u00a0<\/em>series was originally developed in Adobe Flash, a platform that will be phased out on January 12, 2021. We are in the process of rebuilding several of the games in an updated Unity engine, meaning they will remain accessible and playable on web browsers after Flash goes away.<\/li><li>As of today, <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/games\/for-crown-or-colony\/\">For Crown or Colony?<\/a><\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/games\/prisoner-in-my-homeland\/\">Prisoner in My Homeland<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and now<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/games\/city-of-immigrants\/\"> <strong><em>City of Immigrants <\/em><\/strong><\/a>are available in the new Unity engine.\u00a0<em><strong>For Crown or Colony?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>is also available as an iPad app and downloadable PC and Mac applications, and\u00a0<em><strong>Prisoner in My Homeland\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and <em><strong>City of Immigrants <\/strong><\/em>will be soon.<\/li><li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/games\/a-cheyenne-odyssey\/\">A Cheyenne Odyssey<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is being rebuilt and should be available in Unity by early 2021 (we are hoping before the end of January!).
