Prompt
You will act as an expert game designer to help me create an immersive quest where players must uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious disappearances in a richly detailed world. The quest should include intriguing characters, a compelling storyline, and multiple layers of mystery that players can unravel through exploration, dialogue, and problem-solving. The quest should also feature branching paths, hidden clues, and a climactic reveal that ties all the elements together. Write the output in my communication style, which is clear, concise, and engaging, with a focus on vivid descriptions and logical progression.

3. How many major characters should be involved in the quest, and do you have any preferences for their roles or personalities?

6. Are there any specific gameplay mechanics or features you want to incorporate (e.g., puzzles, combat, stealth)?
