My new game

I derived the thought of this game from an old mexican folk tale called Lazy Peter and his 3-Cornered Hat.
This game will be like no other you have ever seen. This game has no battles. None. Zilch. Zeroooo. Instead, you are sent back 600 years into the time of the reniassance. The main character is an 18-year old lazy pheasant boy named Peter. Peter may be poor, but he knows how to get money, and he knows how to get it by doing almost nothing. One day, the parents who supported him were killed, and he is left to fend for himself. That is the time, he declares, that he will put his foot down. He will travel to villiages, filching them along the way, until he has quite enough money to live on his own. This is a very unique game, because most of the game is tricky. Every time you talk to someone, you can reply if you want. Those replies could make a difference in how much money you make on the particular mission that you are taking. Also, with each mission (40 in all), there are multiple steps you have to take. Heres an example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1 - Fairly Easy Fair
I hear theres a county fair in a villiage 2 miles north. If I can do things right, I can make a buttload of pesos! But how?
Hats selectable - 3 cornered Hat
Steps - Give out 3 bags of money (30 gold each, and make sure you give them to the most trustworthey people there)
- Find a folly or rich person to use as your fool.
- Convince them to buy the hat for as much money as possible.
Highest peso amount 'filchable': 500 pesos
Lowest peso amount 'filchable': -10 pesos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This may look confusing, so I will explain. In the first mission, you trek to the County Fair, weairing your 3-cornered hat. (there are many hats selectable, and each one will result in a different outcome) You give out 3 bags of money, and ask the person you give it to to return the money when you come back and tip your hat. The person you pick has to be a trustworthy one who won't blurt out to your bait that the money was yours in the first place.
Then, you pick your bait. The game takes over from there. You then (utilizing the fact that you control ALL replies that Peter says) convince the bait that your hat is magical, and if you tip your hat to someone, they will give you Pesos. The game fully takes over from there. You are able to show your bait the hat's 'magical powers' by walking up to the 3 people and selecting from the drop down menu, "Tip your hat". If you select 3 certain people to filch, the perfect bait, and shw him the people in the correct order, you will get the maximum amount of money. If you do the worst possible, you will be exposed, and you will lose the 3 bags of money and 10 pesos. (since you only start off with 100, you lose right there, because you become bankrupt)
During the mission, you can buy things, such as food, with your remaining pesos. As you go through towns, you will find places to buy food, rest, and even houses to buy. You can filch pesos, animals, and even property. Food is a neccesety, and if you have no pesos, that means no food, and that means Lazy Peter will die. If you have animals, such as Horses, you can ride them and get to places faster. You also have to buy food for the animals, too, or they will die off eventually.
There are going to be over 100 hats to equip, and they are the ONLY thing Peter can equip. Hats are what he tricks people with. There are other playable characters throughout the game, who you can have join your team. Of course, they are also pheasents, meaning they also add on to the amount of missions. (total there will be 100 missions in the game.)
Peter's dream is to become the king. Can you help him?
