    • “Overall, In Trusted Hands succeeds by delivering a distinctive blend of management gameplay and interactive storytelling built around trust, responsibility, and the consequences of personal choice.”

    • “No meaningful upgrades or gameplay features (not counting the robber, it's the only one introduced).”
    • “Wanted to really like this game but some assets are AI-generated and the gameplay is clunky and slow, especially when unscrewing, removing parts, and putting them back.”
