Axis by axis

Light platforming sections without real challenge
The Quarry
QTE prompts are the only dexterity test
Reads0 vs 0

Jenny LeClue: Detectivu
The mystery is authored, not an adapting mind
The Quarry
No adaptive opposition, only branching scripts
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Jenny LeClue: Detectivu
Clues are hidden information uncovered scene by scene
The Quarry
Hidden branch logic surprises until paths are mapped
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Jenny LeClue: Detectivu
Deduction boards resolve to single intended answers
The Quarry
Choice outcomes converge to known survival routes
