Conceptualize a game that uses the superpower telepathy in a way it's never been done before.

You're a Psi Operative, and it's a shooter with psychic elements. The plot revolves around solving some sort of mindgate conspiracy.

you're in a coma or something and use your telepathy to physically control people / things or influence their minds or astral project to accomplish your goals

you're a mute with no hands and yuou've always wanted to be a chef also you're a rat

you mind control some gangly ginger into cooking 5 star meals also you're mexican

>create the best game based around mind powers ever made
>ending is an advertisement for a sequel
>developer disbands
>this was over a decade ago

Basically, like watchdogs, but instead of normal hacking, it's MINDHACK.

You can randomly read people's minds for funny jokes and quips, or important info. There could be a karma system where you could either use your powers for good or use it to basically take over the world.

Actually maybe throw in a few RPG elements and other psychics with different powers, except everyone, only get's one power and you being the smart but cunning telepath have to try to use your power to beat these OP fire fling and telekinetics that can fling busses at you and shit.

Imagine camouflaging/disguising yourself, erasing people's memories to never leave a trace, and erasing people's minds, turning them into complete vegetables. There definitely needs to be a stealth element.

Advent Rising 2 kickstarter when?

I can see this maybe being like a level or something, but not an entire game.

sounds generic asf.

You are a detective and you go into peoples minds to get clues and informations

Going into peoples minds would have a little mini-game that you have to win at. Easy dumb enemies are simpler and bosses aka important or smart people makes it harder

When you enter someones mind you can only ask a few questions and you ask them via typing like old rpg games.

RPG psychonauts?

>tfw no Second Sight 2

You play as an interrogator in a black sight like Camp X-ray

Each level you have to interrogate someone, you can go into their mind and find their weakspots, either physical or mental.

>Enter room
>Man is tied to a chair
>Infiltrate his mind
>see his past memories
>his brother drowned as a child
>leave his mind
>either put up water with telepathy and swirl water around his head til he cracks
>or make him see his dead brother bloated from water

in the end the camp gets infiltrated and you have to fight your way out

visual novel harem game where you break down girls psychic defenses and take them to the bone zone.

So would this be quantic dream-esque?

Literally driver san francisco

>Your telepathic powers are restricted to only reading the mind of animals.
>You must solve a crime to which the only witnesses are animals of various kinds -- a bird who flew above the route the criminal took, or a dog who remembers the smell of the criminal.
>You must deal with what the animal perceives as reality, decoding their bizarre perception of events.

I would say no, it would be a lot more open, you can go through many years of someones life, trying to find their fears, and have many choices, like finding their mental fears, physical fears, or maybe influencing their mind from within, but with our technology I don't see it being possible.

It seems a lot of people ITT want a detective telepath game.

Why does telepathy + detective work so well?

>You're hunting a maniac who claims to be a telepath.
>Maniac pulls increasingly cruel stuff
>He's always a step beyond you and your team
>ending twist
>He's not a telepath. The game is a commentary on solipsism. Everything in it is a creation of his mind, including the protagonist.

It's the "mind games" trope. Telepathy in more fantasy-themed or sci-fi ideas doesn't work as well, since the power is more impressive when it stands alone in the pool of "powers available">

Telepathy is the best and most dangerous superpower at it's best.

>read minds
>project thoughts
>Possess bodies
>Cast illusions
>mind control
>astral projection
>alter personalities
>mind-wipe


this could work very well if done properly in a sci-fi setting.
