I'm excited to play this game! Iterative games where a previous playthrough effects future ones are incredibly satisfying!
I am curious about a couple of things. What game engine are you using? Are you using something like Twine or Ink, or are you going through an engine like Unity or Godot? When you say text-based is it like Zork where you type everything in, or like a choose your own adventure?
Best of luck, this sounds like a fantastic game!
