I don't have any large chunks of time for gaming at the moment, so I'm trying to find stuff that has enough of a throughline to keep me engaged but doesn't suck me in for too long (or mean I lose the thread entirely if I go a week between sessions). I finished Another Case: Solved, which did a pretty good job of this, although the storyline was a bit excruciatingly heteronormative at points, and now I'm trying to find something else.
Threes (apparently the original 2048) is not it, as it has the mindless repeat just-one-more aspect that leaves me in a bad mood, and I've just deleted it. I'm trying another game called Framed, which is a noir-style story with a nifty gimmick - you move the frames/panels around to alter the action - but the story, such as it is, is not working for me, as currently almost all of my sympathy is with the numerous faceless minions the protagonist keeps whacking on the head. It is making me think wistfully of Ghost Trick, which is a gimmick with a much much better story and which made me cry.
