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

Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Surveillance thriller where you decide which citizens' secrets to report to the state.

Variance · Systems & Chaos
A horror adventure sequel where a delinquent investigates urban-legend spirits to save his kidnapped sister.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); Spirit Hunter: NG leans Variance (Systems & Chaos).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Reading and clicking documents only
Spirit Hunter: NG
Menu-driven investigation; no physical skill ceiling.
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Story characters are scripted, not adaptive
Spirit Hunter: NG
Spirit behaviour is scripted, never modelling the player.

Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Truth is hidden until you uncover contradicting datachunks
Spirit Hunter: NG
Hidden death triggers and unknown spirit lore dominate first runs.
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Choosing which evidence to upload steers fixed outcomes
Spirit Hunter: NG
Correct evidence and choices are fixed and fully learnable.
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.
