This was my first time with a solo game and I was a bit confused at first but once I figured it out I started having a blast. It's got this solo reporter, mystery vibe. The game has three acts to it. Most of the game play takes place during the second act, where you dive into the investigation, finding clues and exploring.
What made this enjoyable to me was that all of the clues and locations became jumping off points for me. If you like creative writing, you can use the prompts and events to flush out a full story. It's like becoming a writer for Twin Peaks
The ability to replay the game over and over again is nice too since the events rely on drawing cards and rolling dice. Each game would be different.
Things that I had with me that really brought out the best of the game were a notebook to keep track of stats, story points, and other pertinent information, a deck of cards, and some polyhedral dice. Although, I downloaded some apps for the last two.
