Taking a break from IGF games to talk about the new Colossal Cave (3D graphical game, VR optional) from Roberta and Ken Williams.

I enjoyed checking it out, but wow, some of that 1970s design had not aged well -- by the 1990s.
Attempting to gauge interest, so please boost outside of my (rather small) circle:
Would there be any interest in a (largely menu based) game about the fantasy adventuring life.
A bit like Skyrim meets the Oregon Trail.
You explore the world, helping people with quests and general adventuring, all while having to hunt for food, manage energy and maintain equipment.
Goal would be to replace fancy graphics/3d movement with lots of depth and content.
Questions and criticisms welcome.
This realization came to me in a dream last night. Upon waking, the following occurred to me:
1. Did Guillermo del Toro already explore this idea while I wasn't paying attention?
2. What happens if you attach Pinocchio's head to a large building, effectively turning the entire building into his body, then while he is in that state turn him into a real boy
