The world is documented as you discover it

This week I've been working on the in-game glossary system.

One of the things I enjoy the most in RPGs is slowly discovering the world, its characters and the organizations that inhabit it, so I wanted to create a system that evolves alongside the player's journey.

As the story progresses, new entries are added to the glossary: characters, locations, factions and chronicles that help expand the world without filling the main narrative with long explanations.

Some entries simply provide background information about the world, while others may hide details, connections or events that become more important as the adventure progresses.

I'm still expanding and polishing the system, but I wanted to share a small look at how the world of Hollow Descent gradually becomes documented as you play.
