I know it’s not the typical “takes you at least 1-2 hours to read through” game that readers expect from HGs, but my gut tells me there’s a market for this. I mean, it’s the perfect distraction (and I use the term “distraction” in the most positive way), for someone who has a 20 or 30 minute commute on the bus or subway or something like that. It’s the perfect lunchtime distraction as well.
And if you listed a ton of achievements, like I said, you give the reader a HUGE incentive to keep trying to find them all without committing a huge amount of time to a playthrough… You could use extremely nebulous achievement names that give hints about the content but that would avoid spoiling the specifics (that’s what I did with CCH).
I also admit to appreciating your sense of humor evidenced in your writing. I think we are similar ages and have similar backgrounds (you’ve practiced law, right? I know you’re obviously a dad) so maybe that’s the appeal…no legal pun intended.
