Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Hand-drawn puzzle where overlapping illustrated panels unlock impossible connections.
Tell Me Why
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A sibling mystery where weighing contested memories against evidence reconstructs a fixed hidden past.
Gorogoa leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Tell Me Why leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 0
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Solutions unknown on first encounter only
Tell Me Why
Contested memories create hidden-information uncertainty between siblings
Optimization7 vs 6
Gorogoa leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Each panel arrangement has one elegant solvable answer
Tell Me Why
Choosing which memories to believe forms a deductive chain toward true history
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.
