I've thought a lot about doing a randomizer for Groovie engine games, mostly The 7th Guest, but I can't really think of a way to make it fun or interesting, the whole game is video files so it's not very flexible
a SCUMM game might work, some items could definitely be swapped around, but idk if it would amount to much cause there wouldn't be a ton of permutations possible
I don't know enough about the SCUMM engine to know if this even makes any kind of sense, but could you randomize NPCs/connections between locations?
I haven't looked into how that engine works, but I think it should be possible to move characters around, and change the connections between maps (usually called Entrance Randomization)
but again the games usually keep the scope restricted, not many things are available at any given time, which means not a lot of possibilities for moving things around
but some day I might give it a shot
