This creates a little tactical puzzle around the action selection, and the ability to set up contingency plans in each round. For a long time I wanted this to be the whole game - but eventually I realised I needed a second system. A rare path for me to take, but I learnt a lot from the process! 2/3

Watched The Killing again recently, always great! Stranger on the Third Floor is a fave too - by no means a top movie, but oh boy some of those expressionistic shots are stunning.

Really appreciate the review Charlie. Prospero Hall set a standard for us in making IP games with passion and care - their games remain a real inspiration for me!

Great thoughts!
I find if the result of a decision is clearly understandable and quickly fed back to the player, its “complexity” is less of a barrier. This is why abstracts feel way more “complex” than they are - you may have no sense of your turn’s impact without doing layers of thinking ahead.
