@naga @rixx Interesting that he started with the game idea. That explains why it’s so narrative rather than interactive, though.
I’m reminded of Eifelheim (Michael Flynn), which is split between modern-day historians and the aftermath of an alien spaceship crashing near a tiny village in the midst of the Black Death. In that case, it started out only as the historians’ search, and was later expanded to include the direct narrative of the village.
