There is a small class of games of inductive games, the first I know about is Eleusis - a card game by Robert Abbott. The idea of the games are that you are expressly not told the rules for a particular level/hand, and have to figure it out during play. The sort of puzzle solving is not what one usually sees - you don't try to figure it all out from an initial position, you need to experiment and theorize, and if the puzzles are well designed you get an aha and then have mastered the puzzle. I think this is well designed - and gives this experience as well as I have seen any computer game I have played. Framing each level as the same form of solitaire with a hidden twist allows you to get small, more standard puzzle solving experiences while running your experiments. I did run into one level I didn't (and still don't) understand, which can, of course, be frustrating. You can switch in that case to story mode, which allows you to take back all moves freely, which can speed up your experimentation a lot - but can also just brute force you past the level. Who would like this? That is an interesting question because the inductive puzzle solving is so niche. There is a very good chance fans of solitaire won't like this - especially if they go into it thinking it is about the solitaire. I think the solitaire is a perfect framework for the hidden puzzle - but on its own it is boring - I don't think there would be any interest in playing the levels again once you have the hidden rules. People who like puzzle games may or may not - it won't feel like the genre they like, but if they are interested and open to a new way to approach puzzles, they might. And someone who knows what inductive games offer - and like that - this is an easy recommendation.

I really enjoy the atmosphere of the game, the trickle of information, the figuring out of the rules. But oh my god the notations on the letters/etc (i.e. LOL RIP, "corny ass sign off") really take me out of the game in a frustrating way.

Despite being small and relatively simple, this is one of my favorite solitaire games of all time. The atmosphere alone is impeccable. With just a piano track, and some well placed sound effects, the game creates the feeling of playing an occult ritual very effectively. The story is anthology-esque: a short horror story for every game, all connected to a grander conspiracy. All very well written, with immaculate vibes and just enough detail to keep you wanting for more. I hear there's a connected ARG, too, but I haven't looked into it yet. The solitaire variation the game is based on is already fun by itself. The controls are smooth and the difficulty is excellent. (I'll warn you, though: I'm a solitaire addict. There is an easy mode, but I haven't tried it, so I can't advise you there. Your difficulty mileage may vary.) It's just difficult enough to get your gears turning, but not too difficult so as to take away from the main attraction: figuring out the secret rule for each game. I had a pretty smooth time with most of the base games, except for one, which I ended up half spoiling myself on while looking for hints on the discussion board. (I had a base assumption about the rules which turned out not to be true- you might not have trouble with it at all!) Post-game, every base game has four much harder to figure out variations: the Cardinals. I'm slowly working through them now, but I really enjoyed the ones I have solved. Overall, this is an incredible little game that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you're a fan of solitaire, trial-and-error puzzle games, and/or occult vibes PLEASE get this game. I promise you, you Will Not Regret It.

Good puzzle game -and- good solitaire, all in one, excellent. A word of caution -- this is a puzzle where finding out the rules is part of the challenge, which will turn off some people. If you did not enjoy the likes of The Witness and its rule-bending puzzles this game might not be for you.

Lovely puzzle game with a wonderful focus on understanding different occult set of rules while playing solitaire. There is a nice duality of challenge between "learn the rules" and "solve a solitaire while adhering to them". I am rather certain there's another deeper layer of puzzles woven into this as well, but I've only seen glimpses of it. What writing there is upon selecting / finishing each Ritual is incredibly well done, getting across a lot with just a bit of text. This has to be the best use of Solitaire as a base to build upon I've ever seen.
