How different will Bachelor be from the Haruspex?
Daniil Dankovsky works with the technology of mortality: he is interested in how a person “ends” in a natural way and what can be done about it. Immortality and death are the topics that primarily rest on how time works. The aging processes of the body are associated with its irreversible and irresistible course. But time works much more complicated in the modern scientific picture of the world (the foundations of which were laid just at that very historical moment, by the way — Einstein, Planck and Mechnikov are conditional contemporaries of Dankovsky, and he, as an intellectual, should be aware about their works).
Therefore, the Bachelor must perceive time not in a philistine way, but differently; perhaps as a tool — by changing his attitude to time, he begins to understand what it is not the physiological immortality of the cell, but the immortality of a person as a thinking unit.
It is on the problem of death, immortality, time, being lost in it and managing it (or its perception) that we want to focus in Bachelor’s story. The gameplay changes are also connected with this: what the protag can do in our model of the world, what he can influence, and what, on the contrary, is not so important for him.
