Our take on Transparent Black
The bounce point arrives when players expect a full-length RPG or survival-horror campaign: the game instead resolves in about half an hour and keeps its puzzles simple. Players who need elaborate systems, extended exploration, or sustained tension may run out of depth before the multiple endings provide much additional room.
