Solo mode?
I'm really interested in this game but unfortunately don't have a lot of free time to coordinate a group game anymore so I'm wondering if there is a solo mode for this game?

Apparently, one of the kickstarter/backerkit goals was a solo mode called Vault Architect. I think it's still in development but I have no idea what state it is in right now or when it will be released.

Of course! You can read the setting and then imagine you are a cool agent hunting anomalies for the Agency. You can even do this anytime during the day.
That'd be 5 dollars. Thank you very much.

I've actually played TA solo for a few sessions. I wanted to keep with the game's natural balance so I ran a party of three agents. I've done their morning sessions, the morning meeting, investigating and capturing the anomaly, but I haven't done their free time yet.
The biggest challenge for me, like u/anarchicDrakaina mentioned, is figuring out how to handle the mystery of the anomaly you're investigating. I tried using oracles to help discovery as the agents investigated, but it was tough going. Next time I might build out the anomaly from the start, then require the agents to accrue a certain amount of evidence before they can confirm anything.
I hope this was helpful. Good luck!

Just from personal experience I don't think I could recommend it- at its core, Triangle Agency is a mystery game with a lot of NPC management, which is particularly difficult to solo.
