Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Hidden killer identities and evidence drive trial uncertainty
The Wolf Among Us
Investigation choices partially obscure which evidence matters

Gathering evidence and building the correct argument chain is a solvable deduction loop
The Wolf Among Us
Scene order and evidence collection allow minor optimisation of deduction paths
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
