Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 0
Evil leans clearly harder on execution.
Evil
Walking and looking; minimal physical demand
Tomodachi Life
Tapping menus, no skill ceiling
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Evil
Scare events are scripted, not an adaptive mind
Tomodachi Life
Miis run on random whimsy, not adaptation
Variance4 vs 5
Tomodachi Life leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Evil
Hidden scares and events drive the unknown tension
Tomodachi Life
Random events and relationships drive everything

Figuring out what to do next is the small loop
Tomodachi Life
