You're thinking of the idea of letting the reader search for clues without having to yield the tyranny of the author deciding where and when?

I also have thought before that this sort of an approach might make for a compelling way to present ethnographic information. (e.g.: You arrive to the little _____ian village and can interview its most prominent members, and wander about to explore its streets and buildings.)
