— Hack Idea: Inception / Psychonauts —
Filed under the ideas that I would love to develop, but probably never will. A ‘Forged in the Dark’ game of a crew of people whose scores involve jumping into the unconscious minds of people and attempting to achieve goals whilst in there (planting information, removing information, helping the person overcome a trauma etc).
The whole Stress/Trauma and flashback mechanics work well in a psychological drama where time is stretchier. The information gathering stage involves researching a person’s psychic landscape (The target loves westerns, so expect a ‘Gunmen of the Apocalypse’ scenario)
Engagement roll determines any nasty surprises in the target’s mind etc.
Put me out my misery. This sounds good, doesn’t it?
