Fantastic as usual
I’ve played all the Mystery Caper games, most at least twice, and they’re all excellent. That said, I think they get even better with each new release — the nav in Bested is the smoothest yet and doesn’t require excessive backtracking. The puzzles are largely intuitive while remaining challenging, which is a delicate balance that Sherban achieves consistently but refines still further here. The writing, as always, is clever, funny, and polished; the lack of distracting copy errors warms my heart. Excited to see the next installment in this universe! In the meantime, I’ll eagerly wait to forget the solutions so I can replay this one. It’s clear these games are a labor of love, and it makes them all the more enjoyable. Bonus points, too, for being so responsive in the hint forum!
