Caught in the Rain is one of the smartest solo mystery RPGs I’ve played in a long time. It tackles the biggest problem with solo mysteries: how do you not accidentally know the answer? By using a hidden truth deck and clue sets that build through the process of elimination. The mystery is literally solved from the start… You just don’t know how yet.
