Is it possible to play alone? I don't have a friend available just now.

How easy is to cheat and gain points adding "carefully" in the middle of a sentence so the AI thinks you are thinking the plan carefully?

I played four games; in each scenario I chose to "lie down and accept death". The only one I didn't survive was when I forgot how to breathe. Seems like the AI has a bit of a savior complex :)
It has been trained on fictions where characters are more likely to survive against all odds, and likely to die when you don't expect it.
Yeah, accepting death and prayer are both sort of like cheat codes.
Maybe you could implement a second player / friend as another AI?
AFAIK AI players is on the roadmap, but the devs are mostly focusing on ironing out bugs right now.
You can pay alone, no problem. Though it's obviously more fun with people. The AI is pretty arbitrary and there are many ways to cheese the scenarios. I think that adds to the fun though and it's best played with people just trying to have fun and not super pressed by wanting to win.
Sorry. I was looking for a "start" button and I didn't see the blinking message at the bottom.

Feature request: Add a "start" button for people that does not read the instructions.

Yes, I was able to play single player - creating a room, joining it and starting the game.
