As I'm working on a solo ttrpg based on the same idea I'm happy to see fellows Archivist :D
I like the Token Mechanic, it's simple but works. I would argue abt one thing : maybe it lacks a "special feature" really tied to the Statement part, Tapes, episodic-nature, censored and mysterious, or something like that tied to the show or themes of the game ? More broadly, for now the game runs smoothly but may lack a bit of "personnality", a rule that's really tied to the mecanic AND the story/mood. Finding this mechanic is usually a good way to avoid being "just another horror game"
Don't know if you want to expand this game or make others, but I'll be curious to follow what's to come ! ^^
This is awesome input and something I'll keep in mind because I do hope to expand this in the future! My goals for the Caltrop Core Jam were to make a workable game that could be played by people even if they didn't know TMA but I am hoping to make an expanded version that has a bit more framework than this.
Thanks for the review, I really appreciate the feedback!
