I have dreamt of a concept · 10:06pm Apr 23rd, 2015
Not actually during sleep, but you know.
I suppose it would work best as a game, to use repeated time travel. Use the decrepit future of the environment to get around, then travel back. Perhaps use some travels into the past relative to the present you start in, too. More importantly, the facility of your environment changes, but the first time you visit the future, it is... not that bad.
For that time. Of course, you have a goal in the present, so you return and change it. The next visit to the future is... unnerving. Dystopian. Regardless. You must continue.
To the end, you finally reach and achieve your military goal. Only one thing remains to be done, but the path is blocked. Use the future and... silence. The world has burned. No one is left. Running speed is disabled as you walk through what once was, knowing that you robbed the world of what could have been. You return. The base is sprawling, an intruder is running about, unknown casualties. You take a vantage point and line up a shot. Immediate whiteout, meaningful text in the center such as "No one will know."
Then watch as the moists argue for months about one question: Whom did you shoot?
Not a bad game idea actually. I played timeshift at one point,the story mode was shite but the temporal game mechanics are pretty fun to fuck with.
3013290 I didn't actually mention it would be like Singularity with less shit, did I.
That's another game that toys with the concept. It's disturbingly average and you can play "spot the reference" on pretty much any part of it, but a game sewn together from bits of better games is not inherently bad.
