Let's see. It's a pretty big game, but here's a sampling.
1. Subject matter: There's obviously fiction about loyalty that isn't about betrayal, and it's about time that I made such a game. Firefly on a boat, not Reservoir Dogs on a boat, if you see. (Only not on a boat, in the postapocalypse instead, of course).
2. Collaboration / roleplaying as a practice: A game can be long-term, sandboxy, totally color-first, and still Story Now; here's a way how. Also, asking questions is good.
3. Real live human nature: Many! Examples: For some people, having sex means learning more about your partner, where for others, it means revealing yourself more. For some people, being mistreated makes them want better; for others, being mistreated makes them mistreat others in turn. When you pull a gun on someone in the real world, most of the time you just want something from them, you don't need to kill them.
