It’s essentially one of those “Alice, Mary, And Bob could be at one of three locations” puzzles, just with more than 70 people, a much more complex set of things for the locations, and instead of simple sentences as clues you have last words and frozen movements in time as your clues.
The way the game sets up its clues is brilliant but ultimately that sort of game isn’t for everyone. You do have to figure out a lot from small bits of information.
- the_af 4y agoWhich game is "for everyone" though? Pac-man? Lots of people hate pac-man and similar twitch-based games. Bejeweled and its clones? Would I really want Lukas Pope to be making Bejeweled clones?
- NineStarPoint 4y agoI don’t know why “isn’t for everyone” is shorthand for “is something only a small subset of the population will enjoy”, in American English, but for some reason it is. And no, I’d rather people make extremely interesting games that will be 10/10s for the people who love them and 5/10s for everyone else. (And as a person who loves both paper puzzles and puzzle video games, I love Obra Dinn) Just wanted the person who made that comment to understand why it’s a game a lot of people will bounce off of.
- the_af 4y agoGot it! I misunderstood your comment. We are in agreement then!
