The Council is an interesting idea, but sadly, it doesn't fully deliver. Playing as a detective on a mysterious island, solving puzzles and engaging in conversation battles should be thrilling – but it falls flat. The dialogue can get clunky, the RPG elements feel tacked-on, and the choices don't feel like they have enough impact. It has an intriguing atmosphere, and fans of narrative games might still find something to enjoy, but it's a bit of a letdown.
