Uncovering hidden item-puzzle solutions along a fixed time-travel story path.
Murdered: Soul Suspect leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); The Silent Age leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).
Murdered: Soul SuspectThe Silent Age
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1

Murdered: Soul Suspect
Clues and case answers are hidden until found
The Silent Age
Puzzle solutions are hidden information until discovered
Optimization4 vs 5

Murdered: Soul Suspect
Deduction sequences are guided puzzles with known answers
The Silent Age
Item-combination logic converges to a single known path
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.
