It popped up in my notifications and the premise makes my head spin.

Gumshoe with one player? Wouldn't that need to be a Sherlock Holmes kind of investigator to cover all the needed specialisations?

Gumshoe in sword and sorcery? So instead of "of course you get that clue, the question is how much you get from it" it becomes "of course you hit that goblin, the question is how well"?

And apparently it's not something new.

Has anyone played this? How did it look like?

Looks fun, I'd love to see someone write-up their experience.
