Trigger warning: this is anime-style game set in girls-only school. You've been warned.


A short summary:

It's curious mix of a boardgame (the general gameplay), an RPG (characters with stats and their own agendas, dice rolls/difficulty checks) and a deduction game (a traitor mechanic, for one).

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Harthwain, how can you even think of playing something like this?!1101" and normally I would agree.

However, there aren't that many detective games on the market and there are even FEWER *actual* deduction games. What is here is a complex deduction game with many interesting aspects, so I am willing to stomach the "setting" and the art style. Especially when the price is at -65%, meaning it is fairly cheap. It looking a lot like a board game also helps.

Edit:

To my understanding the game has a lot of replayability value: each case has a "variant", rather than being a fixed scenario, your minions' skills are different, dice rolls are involved in the outcomes. This is huge for a game of deduction, because in most cases when you played once you have seen it all and there is little reason to play the game ever again.

I guess they're going to announce the leaked Titan Quest 2 at this weekend's showcase?

Anyway, Strategy First rereleases more from its past catalog. Object Software's two action RPGs, Prince of Qin and Seal of Evil.
