Hmm, next time! I keep thinking of ways to tie in education to a text adventure. Trying to achieve what Walt Disney said:

> I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

My sole reason for playing Assassin's Creed games is so I can wander around in historical settings and read the flavor text they use to describe the various landmarks and historical events, artworks and people. Honestly, I think Ubisoft should eighty-six the assassin stuff and just make virtual museums.

AC Oddyssey and Origins had an educational mode complete with tour guides (or is that what you're referring to?)

That is not what I am referring to. The structure of those modes is too rigid: players have to follow a planned route, stop and wait for the guide to finish talking at each station. Too much like a real life tour.

Ah I understand, my assumption is you can disable/ignore the tour and walk around as you wish but I'm yet to have chance to try the mode myself to confirm.

I think this would be a great cross with AI-Dungeon 2. Just feed all the text from rick and morty if you can get it.
