I usually comment within the jam pages because I rarely have anything to say outside of them, but your premise reminded me of an old (and nowadays a bit outdated, considering how games are made now) title: MetaHuman INC, which plays a lot with the elements you’ve brought up here—though it adds a more superheroic layer.
If you’ll allow me a small suggestion, I’d recommend doing a full 180 and taking a look at the ChoiceScript tool to explore the possibility of crafting a narrative. With just a few tweaks, you could get this game running in a more enclosed setting, because mechanically, I found everything really organic. And starting the player off already at the top gives the game a verticality that, on a tabletop, would require some auxiliary mechanic like a deck or dice—but inside a storytelling engine, you can go much further with what you’ve already built.
Just a suggestion.
Congrats on the material, and I’ll be following your work.
Hey thank you so much for the feedback! I checked out the Steam page for MetaHuman INC, and I can definitely see the similarities. ChoiceScript looks very interesting and fairly approachable - I'd love to playtest a couple scenarios to get the feel of it. Any recommendations?
P.S. You had me at hello.
Bet I have some recommendations. Gameplay wise Vampire: The Masquerade — Night Road is very RPG-Like, you can find a truly and fully experience of World of Darkness in choice-script. Even though it's not very lore-wise, you can have a lot of fun and, in my opinion, that's what has gotten the most out of the tool so far. Breach The Archangel Job have alot of customization not necessarily impactful, but at the time, it was (and personaly still is for me) very addictive because the reading kidnaps you and takes you very smoothly through the proposal of a D20 system. Life of a Mercenary It has its own mechanics, including territory management, which is very interesting! It has an unlockable system, and a very pleasant post-game. The more you dig into this universe, you'll find things that are more linear and focused on telling a story to really giant things, like this Orc Life Simulator. When I finished reading and thought about the possibilities, I was able to fit exactly in my mind how your game would be in choice script. :)
In response to your P.S:
