I was mainly thinking about a society of aliens with very different biology etc. from humans, but it could apply to several different ideas.

Perhaps it’s ā€œRed string of fatesā€? :thinking:

That’s the one! Lol thank you it was going to drive me crazier at some point :smiley:

Would anyone be interested in a CoG game revolving around Esports?

Hi! I’m the author of the WIP Knights of Evallon. I also work on Eden Hall Legends whenever I need a break from KOE. I’m not sure if the crime/mystery genre holds much interest here. I’m mostly writing it for myself as I’m a junkie for the genre, but it’s always great when others like my work. Haha! I know the old adage about ā€œnot caring what others thinkā€, but if I’m being honest with myself, I do care.

Okay, so enough with the preamble. Here are some details of the game. The story is set at a reputedly haunted campus—Eden Hall Academy.

You are the royal scion of a foreign nation who has been undercover since you survived the plane that crashed under mysterious circumstances over the Himalayas, killing your parents. You saw something just before the plane went down, which was—shall we say—not normal.

Years later, you attend Eden Hall Academy under an assumed identity and meet friends and potential lovers.

Something happens that kicks off a sequence of events which leads you and your friends into forming a Detective Agency.

You and your friends will solve or fail to solve one case per chapter. However, there are a couple of overarching mysteries. For example, one has to do with mysterious deaths that occured in the campus ten years ago and the purported hauntings that followed. Another involves a serial killer stalking the nearby town. And then of course, there’s the mystery of your parent’s death and the hints of a conspiracy.

You will recruit members into the Agency. I’m hoping to include some sort of financial management system.

Unlike KOE, the ROs won’t be playersexual. Since college is a place of self-discovery and reinvention, I want them to have their own agencies and desires. For instance, one of the ROs is from an extremely conservative household. She has been denying her bisexuality all her life. So, romancing her as male will differ from romancing her as female. Also, since you are all in the same place, unlike KOE, two-timing will have immediate consequences.

Supernatural elements might exist, but they do so in the periphery. Not all cases will involve the supernatural.

That’s the gist of it. If there’s some interest, I’ll clean up what I have and put up a demo.

Thanks for reading.

That pitch has me hooked like a fuckin’ fish. I adore that cover art and the serial killer case in particular caught my attention hard, as an avid Scream fan. Looking forward to your demo and wishing you luck!

Well… The Evertree series is quite popular, then again you won’t know unless you try anyway.

Now, I’m someone with short attention span, so crime/mystery genre is not really my cuppa. But since i’ve read your previous WIP, I’m willing to give this a try.

Looking forward to the demo.

@ilovecoins Thanks! I appreciate it. Also, Evertree is fantasy as well. And yes, it’s my favourite series.

Out of curiosity, would you play a game that had no stats? And I mean like for combat.

For example, You will have stats like a Profile with name, gender, and such. You may get the usual bar for ā€˜ā€˜John like you: 67%’’. But combats happen automatically. If the game has Powers or weapons, you get choices for them but no dice roll and there is no mechanism like Health Bar/Stamina/Mana.

I suppose that depends on how combat would be decided, in this hypothetical game?
