Writing a game concept

Creating a game concept with my narrative design group. The idea was to develop a story, characters and a game concept around the event of the "Bazar de la Charité", a catastrophic fire that took place in Paris in the 19th century.

After researching this historical event, we looked for points of "resonance" between the society of the time and our own in order to find parallels that would engage players with our story.
