Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?

What’s your ideas for games that doesn’t really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?

      So a horror game in the style of SuperHot? Or like, the ethos of the game is you’re being hunted or stalked, but it’s treated like a puzzle where you can set up stops and traps ahead of time, and the win condition is you set up well enough that you keep it at bay while you escape?

      Have you played the System Shock remake. It seems to be exactly what you’re asking for. Enemies respawn, but you lower security on a level by destroying cameras and CPU nodes. Once it’s zero, there’s no more respawning enemies and you’re free to explore. It’s fairly slow and more tense than horror, with one of the best villains ever made in gaming.

      Maybe Amnesia: The Bunker is something to look into. I’ve not played it myself yet, but the reviews I saw made it sound like it might meet most of your criteria.
