Game Idea - The Lobby
Concept: The whole world is a game lobby full of active human players who have made progress in society and NPCs (non-player characters) who are yet to start their respective games, yet to follow their own missions and side quests.
Each story arc starts with a set of initial conditions that starts from their birth. All the choices that a player makes is with the belief of free will, yet the truth is their outcomes result from the micro transactions they partake with every other player, intentional or not.
Why is this outlook relevant?
Think of the learning possibilities. We can start becoming aware of our own lives and the measurable impacts we create from playing in the common game world.
We can also hope it may lead to a culture of prioritizing collective welfare over individual gains.
