You're Legion, a spy who can change his face, and every job means becoming someone's husband, brother or son convincingly enough not to get caught. First you pore over a dossier (yes, even the chocolate bar wrapper matters) and rebuild the right face in the operating room. Then you walk into the conversation and hope you studied. It's basically cramming for an exam and then sitting it, only funnier and with more danger.

If you loved Golden Idol or Obra Dinn, this scratches that itch while doing its own strange thing. The deductions are logical and fair, just hard enough to frustrate you in a good way. It's all wrapped in dark humor, odd art and a great soundtrack, and stay for the end-credits music video. It feels handmade, like one person's very specific brain, because it is: a solo-dev project.

The catch is length. It's about 3 to 4 hours and 6 cases, and you'll probably wish there were more. The later missions lean more on quiz-style interrogation and lose a bit of the early absurdity, you may want to keep your own notes on the side, and the English gets a little clunky in spots.
