Mystery

Weaving intrigue and suspense, these experiences challenge players to uncover hidden truths, solve puzzles, and piece together clues in enigmatic narratives or atmospheric settings.

Suggest updated description

Text based

Focused on using its text, moreso than its visuals or audio, to tell the bulk of its story/plot. (Still can have great audio and visuals, though!)
