Unfold: Dark Story (2020)

About this game

Only a couple of days ago you were the head psychiatrist at a mental health clinic but everything changed overnight when one of your experiments went south and several patients escaped your clinic placing your experiments in jeopardy. You had to take flight, but you didn’t make it far: you were detained by the police and delivered to the police station. Now you need to find a way out before they lock you up for good. Dark Story is a sequel to Escape from the Asylum and a thrilling co-operative adventure that fits into a small envelope. You can delve into the mysterious atmosphere of this tabletop quest regardless of whether or not you are familiar with the story of Dr.Dark’s clinic. The players must help Dr. Dark get out of his prison cell at a police station by solving different puzzles. Can you make a daring escape? —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
