Define and discuss the basics of this tag.

01.04.2024 Discussion

This tag is supposed to indicate wether the player can directly or indirectly accuse a NPC or player of a specific action or circumstance. This is usually the case in detective games, where the player should point out the culprit. The complexety of available accusations might vary across different games, a game might restrict the player to predefined dialog options leading to a guided experience or a game might force the player to choose from an increased realm of possibilities for example when interacting with other players. When providing a vast realm of possibilities the game can but often does not provide additional support to the player how to proceed or successfully accuse a NPC. This requires the player to think outside of the game and understand connections and relations without additionall guidance, potentially completely shifting the process to the players imagination.
Initially we differentiated between simple and complex accusations, to adress more open accusation processes. We did not clearly define the boundaries of those and in general decided to discuss this tag later on again, since it was difficult to access if this tag would be useful and easy to tag at all.

Since the subtags were not yet clearly defined it was difficult to use them, which resulted in us removing them. We also moved the tag to the topics subtree, allowing the tag to be understood more in terms of being a essential part to the game idea. We furthermore decided to postpone this discussing until the topics tree is more clearly defined.
