>>716059064 (OP)Back to basics, but turn things a bit around have the playable character be a complete outsider and although trapped in the town, they completely disengage with the events and other troubled characters surrounding them. Eventually they simply brute force a way out through sheer stubbornness, what malevolent force behind the town giving up trying to torment them. The character will also be a complete moron with all the symbolism and metaphor going over their heads.
