How Betrayal at Club Low gives new lift to talkers.
Charisma is one of my favorite skills to level up in RPGs and RPG-adjacent games.
Betrayal at Club Low has opened my eyes to the possibilities of dialogue.
Additional gameplay features have been getting built in to make the various Off-Peak titles more than just walking simulators.
To infiltrate, you use the guise of a pizza delivery guy.

Betrayal at Club Low has revealed to me a deficiency in how games approach conversation.
