Personally, I also like the One Weird Thing strategy, in which most of the game is reality-based, but a single detail is tweaked in a supernatural direction. Any of the ideas you mentioned could easily incorporate an unexplained phenomenon, say, during the course of an investigation or an encounter. The thing I like most about the reality game ideas is the importance of research and how it can boost the sense of authority in the game. As long as the GM isn't just showing off their research with info dumps, good prep based on real world research can really help transport players into the scenario. I think that's the real strength of the New World materials - hanging the old DnD details onto a semi-historical spine is pure brilliance. Great topic and ideers, guys.

And disappears within a moment of them straying from the river. Then yeah, kill them.

I don't have the players to pull it off, unfortunately. They'd want to just travel in a straight line until they got where they wanted to go. Probably all be dead within ten minutes of the game starting. I’ve wanted to do a game where players become lost in the woods for sometime. I don’t have the players to pull it off, unfortunately.
