a 17th-century era RPG.



* BadassBoast: When Dr. Caster expresses his surprise at the sheer scale of Meriweather's task, a Soldier-type response is to say "I will carry that boat on my back if I'll have to!"



* DialogueTree: Used sparingly; most of the dialogues are done automatically, and you are given the ability to respond only when the choices will invariably award a skill point in one of the four disciplines. For instance, saying that his discovery of mammoth's bones raises his authority will give you a point of leadership, while describing this find as a "crusade against ignorance" gives a Soldier point.
* FirstPersonGhost: Played straight, at least in the Early Access version.



* MoraleMechanic: Present amongst your group, and affected by your decisions, such as whether you'll have to go hungry some days, or, on the contrary, can afford double rations at others.



* POVCam: You view the game through Meriwether Lewis' eyes.

to:

* POVCam: You view PointBuildSystem: Picking specific answers during dialogues gives Meriweather points associated with Leader, Soldier, Diplomat and Scientist skill trees, which are in turn split into 2-3 branches.
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Treating
the game through Meriwether Lewis' eyes.ailments of your party members is done as a minigame where you are given a 5 x 5 grid of red, yellow and green medicine bottles, and must match them in a specific order to concoct the right treatment.
* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: Downplayed. Your group needs food to eat, but this is handled by a simple choice at the end of the day: consume a day's worth of rations, go hungry and suffer a hit to morale, or eat double rations and boost it.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Used inconsistently during the prologue. While Meriweather himself addresses Dr. Caster Wilstar with "you", he only responds with "thee" and "thine", but still slips towards "you" at some points.
* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: Lewis needs to invest four Scientist points into the starting skill of the Naturalist tree to unlock the ability to...use a spyglass. Either that, or he can invest these points into the starting skill of the Intellectual tree, "Fetch" - as in, teaching his dog to fetch sticks and birds.
