Chronicle

A text game where you write the official record of a valley, and the valley lives with what you write.

You are the Chronicler. Not the hero: the one who decides what the heroes did. Witnesses contradict each other, evidence burns, and the valley acts on whatever your book says: who hangs, who gets paid, which war was just. The game will never tell you whether you were right. No one will. Write carefully: your word becomes the world's memory, and the world remembers who wrote it.

Eight cases. One prologue. Compensation, inheritance, guilt, prosecution: your findings are binding, and you live with them.
