I absolutely agree on the "beyond good and evil".
>Maybe different protagonist options,I initially envisioned that players would play the role of the oldest sibling, with parents either sick or taking care of the youngest. With the catch being that unlike average quests 'losing' (that will come relatively easily) wounds/infects only one sibling and players start from that place as a younger one - with another, sick mouth to feed. Will you let your previous protagonist die because they are no longer useful?
I prefer stories about witnessing a moment in time and trying your best to survive it, rather than hero saving the world. Hence why protagonist is a tiny, harmless rat(boy/girl); a messenger, who assists actual competent people like doctors and military leaders; an immigrant arriving via the last train, with no power nor connections - a slave to circumstances, at least at first; initially jobless with impoverished family and no home.
There is poetic beauty in those least deserving of tragedies having to deal with the worst the world has to offer. A tiny, innocent being scapegoated and subjected to circumstances it can't realistically handle - I want the little guy to live another day. Their family too. Yet I hate to imagine what crimes it will take to live through it all...
But I truly don't know if people would enjoy a quest where we are essentially bullied by the world... happiness shines brightest against the backdrop of despair, yet who would subject themselves to it?
Anyway, I don't want to start another quest while I have one just starting. I had this idea for a few months or so, hence I probably won't forget it in the coming months too.
