I did invite a friend, but never got it together to play the game with him. I did hear that there was a way to play solo, but you are right. This is not an aspect to emulate.

I hate Facebook apps that demand I involve my friends, because I have no interest in your Mafia Wars or your Vampire v. Werewolf battle. If I want to play a game, I should choose to do so without requiring to bug my cousins in Houston and my friends from grade school to play as well. So when "221B" demanded I add a friend to the game in order to play it, I clicked off the page and forgot about it. Maybe I missed an option to play alone, but I did not see one. So I respectfully disagree with Ms. Burns' review - please do NOT emulate that requirement in transmedia narrative and games!
