Bubblegumshoe is advertised as an investigative and social game. And, for once, the talk walks the walk! Ironically, for a game that focuses on teenagers, BGS feels very mature. Instead of confusing social for asocial violence, it forsakes combat for drama instead. Here, clues are your swords, reputation is your shield, and self-perception is your "healthbar". BGS is all about the story, the characters and the setting, not your ahem "sword"... Very refreshing.
