Why a chain and not a catalogue
A list asks you to choose without knowing anything. A chain gives you a reason. When Halina Dudek, a ship's cook, tells you the truth only over food, you have a purpose for sitting down, and when she hands on a sentence about a seaplane mechanic you have somewhere to go next. The women are not interchangeable, because each one's clue is stitched to the next woman's trade. Players who wanted a plot in their companion chat tend to feel that difference within one evening.
