Our take on Letters of Bernard Thorne
The bounce point arrives when movement itself becomes the constraint: Bernard is tied to a motorized wheelchair, depends on pain medication, and must search his house for tools before the attic becomes reachable. Players expecting fast traversal or combat may stop there.
