Meet NGC 2841

Location: In the constellation Ursa Major

Type: Flocculent spiral galaxy

Discovered by: William Herschel

NGC 2841 is a beautiful example of a flocculent spiral galaxy – a type with discontinuous, featherlike, and patchy arms. A bright cusp of starlight distinguishes the galaxy's center from the dust lanes that outline the group of almost white middle-aged stars. The far younger blue stars trace the spiral arms.

Dumb Game idea

I don't know how long this will be, or if someone already thought about it, but here i go:

A game that could be part of the Uncharted or Tomb Raider (recent one) series (with an Evil Organisation tm ) where you find something ancient. [Nothing supernatural in it btw, it's just worth being put in a museum, but the organisation doesn't know that. They think it is supernatural.]

BUT you're an ordinary hiker, not like an archeology nerd either, you just really like mountain climbing and have dumbass energy

I keep thinking the protag should be in full gear, so you can imagine their apparance, they're just cold, okay?

And when I mean full gear, I imagine the ski mask + googles, scarf, gloves, the whole outfit, you know?

The only true distinctive feature should be the body type, only because it's a game mechanic:

3 types: petite, average and... okay, I don't know how to call it, so chunk will do for now

So let's say, you'll go for a petite/slim play style, in that case, it's more advantageous to be stealthy, more acrobatic, fissures are your domain (exploration >:D). Enemies will be physically stonger but you'll be faster. Less stamina but harder to wrangle and to grip and more places to hide

Average is...boring, let's face it, it's an all-around type of thing, you played Tomb Raider or Uncharted or both? Congrats, you played average mode :)

I have nothing against them, of course, people do have their preferences. I never even played them :( For me, it's just... forget the protag one second and tell me it's not basically the same game story wise...

Average mode is still of course for players who never got to enjoy those games, it doesn't have access to petite's only and chunk's only passageways, but you can still enjoy

Chunk's mode is more fighting-heavy. You have more stamina, can move small boulders you otherwise couldn't but it's just the opposite version of petite's mode. You can knock out in one hit an opponent but you're easier to wrangle (more grip on you) and god help you if you try to be stealthy , you'll just look ridiculous

Bonus: maybe a bad route? You can decide to help the Evil organisation (tm) in the early game onwards, the whole game would be without "enemies" but I'm thinking last act of the game,they'll just get rid of you, you straight up die if you don't fight back. Also, I don't think a whole ass version of the game to fit each mode would be right, just... the same layout but with different button prompts for the mode you use, okay?okay

something i really enjoy in horror movies is when the victim(s) start to hunt the killer in return in order to kill them first, both because it's an interesting parallel that (if done well) asks the audience to consider the question of when violence and killing are a justifiable means to an end in order to survive and at what point it crosses the line from acceptable to abhorrent and condemns the perpetrator, and also because it's a little bit funny. like i can do that too bitch you're not special.
