What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist? (reddthat.com)

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?

Sealed room murder mystery, with no quirky characters. And with puzzles that require you to wiki stuff.

It's not exactly that, but have you played Return of the Obra Dinn?

    Yes, I love that game.

    Also Lucas Pope surprised me when he used Minnan / Hokkien / Formosan language in that game, it's very close to my native tongue.

    But of course

    spoiler

    the game is less of a sealed murder mystery, more of a supernatural mystery. While I would love to see a realistic whodunnit, that requires you to research on physics / chemistry / actual real life tools, etc.

    Yeah, like I said it's not an exact match, but if you hadn't tried it I thought perhaps it would scratch that same deduction itch. Plus it has that Wiki element since a fair bit of clues are based around cultural and nautical history as well as languages and dialects.

    Not so much physics and chemistry, though.
