A spin-off of TCOAAL starring different protagonists, exploring the city and what lies beyond the graves, would be worthwhile.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. The idea is to explore what lies beyond the city and discover another side to the decaying city seen in the game. This could involve playing as a doctor and a hitman for Toxi Soda, a radical splinter group of former Six Eyes members as the antagonists, or even as a ghost who survived the fire at the Graves’ building whilst living next door to the Graves. Each chapter would be indirectly connected, and some might even tie in with the main TCOAAL storyline, but only indirectly. Everything would take place at the same time as the main TCOAAL plot. This is my own personal idea and I’d like to make a mod out of it in the future. The only name I’ve settled on is ‘External Trauma’. I’d like the mod to feel like a love letter to the TCOAAL community, using its style, and to give that sensation of a glass of chilled wine or a dessert after finishing. Although I want to inject an air of seriousness and include landscapes that evoke a certain melancholy —as if the city used to be a better place— and also a sense of abandonment with a decadent beauty, such as red sunrises or scenes in a jungle with thunder, with the intention of conveying that idea of ‘horrible beauty’. I’m not sure whether doing so would give the impression that I’m straying from the TCOAAL base created by Nemlei.
