I would add that a good conversation system with NPCs would be a standout feature.

I’d add that a good conversation authoring system would also be a standout feature.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find editing dialog trees/graphs as code to be a very frustrating experience. Gimme my graphical dialog tree editor.

I like the minigame as sort of a subroutine to help with getting past difficult puzzles. Great idea!
