All the details, whimsy, overwealth, and love of a hitman game
I've actually never played the Hitman games, but honestly from what I've heard, this sounds like a huge compliment! Thank you!
A point-and-click adventure game in the immersive sim genre, like those silly -Simulator games, but with the unreal open world budget of square enix. From a game coding/data architecture framing, way ít handles conditionals is a marvel of absurd emergent social situations. – the same place I see your game shining as well. I hope your day dries good!
This was a novel way of adding murder investigation procedures to ARC. But the players are on the other side --- as the murderers! I was also delighted with how much detail there was with the boat's journey and NPCs, creating lots of opportunity for shenanigans to ensue.
Thanks! I'm now trying to think of ways to turn the tables so players could actually investigate the murder, but that seems like a completely different ARCventure to me. :)
