A simulation sandbox game that seems like it’s got potential. I hope it’s got more of an objective than something like Dwarf Fortress with tons of ways to get there, personally.

    The way I understand their description, they really want emergent stories rather than any written plot, so I wouldn’t expect any kind of specific objectives from it.

    Interesting, but as any procedural game, it will be a difficult balance between believable, consistent simulation and unexpected stuff keeping things exciting.

      I don’t need much. Shadows of Doubt’s objective is “solve this murder”, and for this game, maybe it’s “amass a ton of money so that you can X”. Just something to propel me forward to come up with a way to achieve it, because I won’t be a baker for the sake of being a baker, probably.
