Building comparison
head to head
RaftvsWho's Lila?
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Raft
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Growing a floating base by solving resource chains and research order against scripted ocean threats.
Who's Lila?
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A reverse-detective puzzle testing deduction across hidden branching routes and buried secrets.
Raft leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Who's Lila? leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).
RaftWho's Lila?
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Raft
Shark hook-attacks require minimal timing
Who's Lila?
Sculpting facial expressions is fiddly but unhurried
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Raft
Shark and seagull AI are scripted with no player modelling
Who's Lila?
Characters react by script, not by modeling you
Variance4 vs 5
Who's Lila? leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Raft
Island loot tables and resource drift introduce randomness
Who's Lila?
Hidden routes and ARG secrets dominate until mapped
Optimization7 vs 6
Raft leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Raft
Raft expansion, food chains, and research order are solvable systems
Who's Lila?
Deducing which expression unlocks which branch is solvable
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.
