👍 Strengths

116 reviews call it satisfying and addictive, with tense deduction that keeps the brain busy, and some like playing this kind of game alone. 62 praise its strategic depth, with a large cast of roles whose rules and synergies create varied puzzles. 21 value its replay value, as every run differs and new roles unlock over time.
