Aberration Analyst is a game I started working on before Islands of the Caliph. It is a text-based monster hunting game where players have to use unreliable and inconsistent information to determine whether and whither a monster, or "aberration" is active. Players must deduce from newspaper tabloids, police and coroner reports, and evidence gathered by investigation teams, the location and type of monsters in an area, and send in the right kind of team to take care of it.
Most of the information in tabloids is useless, but it can provide a clue as to where to start a search.
If you think there might be some truth behind the headlines, check the police and/or coroner reports to find corroborating data.
Sending an investigation unit will verify whether an actual aberration, like witches, ghosts, vampires and more, has been active in the area.
Use the map and city folders to keep track of what you've discovered and where the likely aberration is hidden.
Finally, send in a team of specialists to shut down the dangerous creature(s) where they are hiding.
I am still working on refining the gameplay and struggling with the monochrome, Apple IIc inspired graphics. However, this is a broad representation of what the game will look like and how to approach the goal.
If you're interested, check out the Steam Page (which I will be updating shortly) and follow or wishlist (or why not both?)...
