That’s generally been the case for most open choice games to movies. Unless there’s a solid story in the game that you can write a backstory to or fill in some gaps with a detailed movie I don’t see how it would work.

He's written a lot of fan fic style stuff that's present in the library as I'm sure you've seen. It's a good light read within the context of the game, but yeah. I don't think it's enough to carry a movie.

Edit: I've removed myself from almost all media besides lemmy, do we have an eta on the haunted chocolatier game? Just wondering. I want him to develop it on his own timeline so we get something he's proud of.

Edit 2: Just saw that there's no release date so he can work in peace without all the deadline pressure. I'm glad he's setting boundaries. I feel like we'll get a better game in the long run because of it.
