Trap for Winners

Recommended. a short but enjoyable read, with decisions. The mini-games are random but not experience-breaking since they are optional. As noted this has no replayability because almost all text is the same in different playrhroughs. on sale = nobrainer (but i wouldnt recommend buying it at full price)

I never thought i would be writing a positive review for a game that's technically about two hours long.. However, I enjoyed Trap for Winners a lot. The story was fun and interesting and it didn't drag anything out with the puzzle-like APC missions and i still want to play through it again to see the other (spoiler) endings. This game won't be for everyone but if you like "choose your own adventure" books OR you like strong sci-fi storytelling OR if you want to play something different then i would strongly recommend giving it a shot, especially for the price.

The game is an adaptation of a "choose your own adventure" book. The plot is intriguing and it feels satisfying to get to the bottom of the mystery uncovering all four secrets and piecing the story together. There is a mini-game which I am not a fan of. It is tedious and RNG based. Luckily playing on the easy game difficulty I didn't need to complete all the available mini-game missions but just a some of them so the required stats can be reached. I've managed to finish it in a bit more than 3 hours which includes a few restarts of failed mini-games. Replayability goes as far as collecting the different achievements and seeing the different endings. I am giving the game a thumbs up since I am nostalgic about the CYOA books and I picked the game on a sale, however your experience may vary.
