Breadth of Difficulty?

[xoonaka]

How is difficulty handled for the minigames? Is there a subset of each lockpicking game with various states of difficulty or is there only a single iteration of each mechanic to give you the general idea of how it works?

Only one very very easy iteration of each mechanic.

That's a bit disappointing... I didn't expect a generator of random puzzles or anything, but multiple iterations of it would've been nice. Thanks for the info!

Hi,

There is actually a difficulty variant for many of the games. Some of them are always the same (like the ones that are just random generation) but The Door uses the hardest mode of the games, for example. It's not exposed to the user as an option, but I am considering adding that. It's mostly a UI problem of where to put the control!

And then some of the puzzles are randomly generated (like Sherlock or Mass Effect), and others have multiple forms (like King's Heir), so there is some variation.
