Hey!

I'm currently working on a text adventure based on the true story of the Roanoke Colony and some of the theories surrounding it. It may take a while (school commitments permitting) but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that they would like to see in a game of this description.

I want it to be more of a mystery game than a horror one, despite its spooky setting. The things I have already added are:

• a satisfying combat system
• statistics checks
• a 'knowledge' counter that helps you decipher clues
• a fitting soundtrack
• interesting NPCs

If you have any other ideas for mechanics or ideas for specific NPCs/encounters, I'd love to hear them!
The story takes place in North Carolina in the 16th century.

Thanks,
Matt
