Star Gate

The parallel-world premise makes history itself part of the adventure: familiar people and societies may develop along sharply different paths after events diverge.

The story includes enslavement and cruelty towards Gorthians, as well as a threat that Kincar may be killed by being fed to dangerous animals.

If people with the same beginnings can become very different in another world, what do you think shapes their choices—and what remains uncertain?

You could pause after a gate crossing to map which characters and conditions have changed, then compare how those changes affect Kincar’s decisions.
