Progress Report: Curios

What's a curio?

Curios come from Darkest Dungeon. There they are interactables that you encounter during your dungeon delving. You can cleanse them with provisions and get benefits or debuffs from interacting with them. They serve the purpose of making the dungeon runs less repetitive. Here they serve the same purpose and ensure that the dungeons aren't just empty rooms and combats. However, while they are interactable, curios here work in a completely different manner.

How do curios work?

Curios take up an entire room, though multiple ones can be combined. When interacting with them, either forcedly or by choice, each party member will have an opinion of how to handle the situation. Those opinions depend primarily on their personality, but can also be based on their quirks, class, or stats. You then decide which option (or none if the curio allows so) to pick. These options can range from your adventurer getting fully healed, getting extra lust, getting forced equipment, or even getting permanently turned into a [REDACTED]. 

What curios are there?

There are currently 18 curios, ranging from a simple wooden chest or brainwashing device to a ratkin tavern or graveyard. Curios are easily extendable, so more will undoubtably be added as the project goes forward. Some curios are dungeon specific, others aren't.

What's next?

Next week I'll be closing these mechanics updates. The last bugs will be fixed, equipment will get some extra flavor texts, and a kind soul has been working on a quest system. What follows after that? Well that's up to the patrons to decide:
