The Dink Network

Nope, that wouldn't be fine. No player talking; I think redink simply meant that you're still allowed to interact with the world. (E.g. you could press space at a bookshelf, and get a book in the player's inventory.)

A pseudo-narrator/player voice would be fine, I assume? For example, you examine the bookshelf, and a choice menu pops up with the description: "There are a lot of rotten, pus-coated books here. You really don't want to touch any of them."
