I'm thinking of simplifying things to 4 scores: Body (Str and Con), Hands (Manual Dex), Head (Intellect), and Heart (Courage and Charisma). Maybe add Feet for agility/dodging.
Any suggestions?

Timers.
Clues.
Describe the environment drawing upon a variety of the five senses.

But what about in your fantasy setting?

Years ago I played a LN paladin of Kelemvor. He refused to heal his companions when THEY started the barfight or he deemed them responsible for their own damage. Fighting the evil vampires? Everyone gets healed! Poked that dude who was minding his own business? Let those wounds be lessons to you.

I see where you're going with this.
But this can only be afforded by the wealthy and powerful. They need to keep this healer on retainer so that they can harvest these organs from the poor - or a clone/homunculus to keep themselves alive.

Dude.
This feels like a Truth of some fantasy-punk game setting.

And then to use "positive" healing/curing magic on those soulless animated dead would be cruel.

Not so much healing but I've always imagined a more Hindu-inspired view on necromancy where if one's soul sheds a body like clothes, then there should be nothing inherently evil with raising a corpse or skeleton. It is repurposing/reusing the shed "clothes." It would be wasteful *not* to use them.

I never saw most low-level healing magic to be able to regenerate organs. But blood? Vampires farming people and healing them so they can give be bled more...

If anyone is interested in taking an early look or even playtesting - let me know!

to the point that most of the adults were so consumed by their own darkness that they were “cloven.” Their human natures split into spirit and matter: specters and walking corpses.
The Explorers (player characters) come upon the camp the day after this cleaving has happened...

but he seeks the woundedness and darkness in every person’s soul, encouraging people to succumb to it. And at the Great Camp Ragamah he had done just that...

He had been a welcome guest of the wealthy Breckenridge family at their Great Camp Ragamah, whom believed he was a harmless, if eccentric, folksy frontier preacher. It’s a part he loves to play, he knows enough of the Good Book to seem convincing...

The Reverend Gideon J. Flicker was a Christian missionary who faced great loss and desolation in the Great Wild Forest of New York. This made him susceptible to the evil and alien Power known only as The Dark. Now he travels the region preaching what he calls the “Good News of the Empty Silence.”

Did some work on my own turn of the 20th century wilderness survival horror game this week. Including writing an overnighter (one shot) that takes place in an Adirondack great camp. It uses my own ⚡thunder20⚡ rules system.
Here's an intro:

When the party arrives there is a supernatural mystery afoot. Can they figure out what is going on? Can they save any survivors? More importantly... can they save themselves?

I've never had the money to play competitive Magic. But prereleases have always been my jam. This set looks great and I had a blast yesterday at my LGS.
Ended up with enough fixing/control that my five color dragons deck worked!

And I was just about to ask if I could borrow it...
Honestly, Police Squad was foundational to my humor and I'm pretty sure somehow influenced dad jokes for at least five generations.

As a former summer camp counselor... This looks entertaining!
And Mulligan will be channeling his camp experiences I'm sure!
