These dudes are evil man. Ermitaño was the last of his species and he physically couldn’t do anything but live alone in solitude, so these bummy scientists literally named him ‘hermit’.
This thing cost me £20 in shipping btw
I was thinking that there could be an in game bestiary for each of the creatures / zones that you find.
Idea 1 : lost notes
You find disks or notes on the ground or in secret areas around the campaign that when collected or brung to a certain area unlocks a unique entry written by a scientist or other climbers.
Idea 2 : journal
Go full silksong and have the climbgirl write her own entries every time you encounter a new area that can be accessed in the menu or smth. So if players get confused they can just read the newest journal entry on where / what they died to.
Idea 3 : bazaar
Make the bazaar roach dude have a chance to sell disks or notes on certain areas. Maybe the chances of getting notes are higher depending on where you found the bazaar, e.g: strider notes in pipeworks
I personally think idea 2 is the best cause it helps lost players and doesn’t take away from the mystery / realism too much.
There is of course a chance that there is some game changing story reason why that can’t happen like we are secretly Jeremiah Dahl or smth
Anyway what are your thoughts on the idea of some kind of in game journal / bestiary system?
