Our take on Black Closet
The bounce point comes when an investigation requires restraint. Players who prefer forceful accusations may hit a wall after public opinion turns against the leadership, while missed thieves can create another case.
What is Black Closet?
Manage a group of students at an elite boarding school while solving mysteries and concealing scandals.
Assign minions to question suspects, search locations, stimulate memories, or watch people connected to a case. A missing silver locket provides one example: possible responses include interrogating a suspicious hallmate, searching the Field, helping the owner recall events, or monitoring her friend. The speed and manner of the investigation affect leadership approval and the school's reputation. Forceful conduct can turn public opinion against the administration, while allowing a thief to escape may lead to another strike. One minion is secretly a traitor, adding suspicion to the management of the group. The setting combines boardroom politics, lesbian romance, and schoolgirl noir.
