A scripted horror story mixing light stealth with cipher and item puzzles.
We Happy Few
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A dystopian survival adventure about blending into a drugged English town gone wrong.
The Beast Inside leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); We Happy Few leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

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.
