time stories week 1 reflection

Miami University

This week we played time stories. I think it was a fun game about trying to solve a mystery and I think my brother would enjoy it. The hardest part about the game was trying to figure out rules like how to do a roll check for a stat and how combat works. We also struggled with how the token doors worked.

A leadership skill I noticed was taking the initiative to decide on where to go. I would make suggestions on where to go and when we would select what location we were in we would divide based on our skills and tasks. Although this did backfire a bit because we may have fallen for a few traps.

In our playthrough I started by talking to a bird guy and got a key, then I went to the dormitory and found a lockpick but failed. We misunderstood how the token doors work so accidentally revealed a clue before we should have. We undid the mistake and went to the promenade mainly finding further quests, then we went to the kitchen and stole the chefs key. We went to the infirmary and got info to go to the office and the tile to go back to the dorm, but we got locked into a speech check with a doctor. We then went back to the dorm, got the items and clue, and I was knocked out. We then wasted time on the promenade. We haven’t finished a loop yet but I’m interested in continuing next week.
