Editor review
Zen Tomb is an exploration adventure set in a single temple complex. Thirty rooms; environmental storytelling.
What works is the map design. The temple is interconnected without being overwhelming.
Six hours of campaign across thirty rooms.
Tested over weekend sessions from Auckland.
Where the design earns its rating is the environmental storytelling. Visual details suggest history without explicit text.
Where I would push back is the absence of a journal feature.
Four stars. Strong exploration adventure.
