What type of gamer are you?We know that there are many different types of gamer. Some people need lots of action and adrenaline, some want to really rack their brains to solve a quest, some just want to enjoy themselves and indulge in the story.
Of course, there is no game that really satisfies everyone. That's not our aim either. It's clear that we cater for players who enjoy story, excitement and puzzles. Nevertheless, for The Ebbing we thought it would be nice to give our players a few options to customise their gaming experience.
Different game modes for all types
In
story mode, the quest log gives you plenty of clues as to what you need to do next to solve the case. It is ideal for people who simply want to immerse themselves in the story and solve exciting puzzles.
Detective mode gives you fewer clues in the quest log and you are responsible for writing down your findings yourself and not losing track. Who have you already questioned? What information are you missing? This mode is for hardcore detectives.
If you have to sneak past enemies, you can also
adjust the stealth difficulty. This also allows you to set how exciting these parts of the game are. If you get scared easily (and don't like doing that), this setting is basically your
tension regulator.
If our
dice skill checks are trying your patience a little too much, we now offer to
simplify them or even switch them off completely so that you can get even more involved in the story.
