Caught in the Rain (Digital Version)

Worth every cent!

I have been playing this game solo for a few days now, and it is tremendous fun! The setup and rules are easy to follow, and I appreciate the different themed tables, as they allow for plenty of variety in the game. I randomly chose Horror, and it's quite enjoyable! I do wish there were more ways to find clues, but that may be my misunderstanding. Still, very entertaining and worth it!

This was my first experience with TTRPGs, and while the rules took a little time to learn, they quickly became intuitive after a few scenes. The game includes a helpful example playthrough and offers four genres: noir, fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. Using only a standard deck of cards and two six-sided dice, players uncover a mystery by interpreting oracle tables, creating scenes, managing threats, and reducing fatigue. The deduction mechanics are loosely reminiscent of Clue/Cluedo, though the gameplay is far more narrative-focused. I especially enjoyed journaling each scene like a story (players can choose to be as barebones or exhaustive as they want), and I appreciate that the game works well both solo and multiplayer.
