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?

Don't Starve but more Animal Crossing. Lot more casual vibes and cozy customization, but the creepy aspects leaning more into survival horror.

So something like Stardew Valley (I haven't played Animal Crossing) in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, Australia or Island where you have to survive the harsh conditions but build up your house, maybe even build a village, where you can then start an economy and make the best of the conditions given? Maybe even with some natural disasters and extreme weather destroying everything if you aren't prepared like Banished. I think this could actually be fun, maybe even add some multiplayer.

I was thinking more like Silent Hill, except I can find any abandoned storefront and turn it into my base. And not just add crafting stuff, but full on furniture and decorations like Raft. Stardew Valley seems very built around the town and the farm IIRC and I want something that could be maybe more randomized like Don't Starve, and then other people could drop in and play like Animal Crossing.

this reminds me of cataclysm dda innawoods challenge. dunno how it is now, haven't played for a good while but looks like you can make camps and assign tasks to fellow survivor npcs.

it's a pretty solid game, beats any survival game any day if you are into turn based roguelikes.
