[Borrowers: The Game] You live as tiny mouse-sized humans existing with regular humans who should never know your presence as you occupy the walls and spaces in their home. Every day you must hunt for food, which involves collecting gear to traverse spaces (paperclip + string = grappling hook and rope, matchstick = torch, plastic bag = parachute) to reach places where food is stored (i.e. the kitchen - defended by th…

#343Everything sim. You start with, say, Sim City. You find that your rail network isn't working properly, so you switch contexts to a kind of Transport Tycoon style game, where you can optimise the train schedules and destinations. You realise that the factory you're delivering stuff to is struggling, so you switch context to a Factorio style optimisation game. You realise that the inputs to the factory aren't pure enou…
This reminds me of the Crusader Blade mod which combines Crusader Kings 3 and Banner Lord 2 to let you fight the normally simulated fights in CK3 in the battlefield of BL2, and passes results back and forth between the two interfaces.

#344A sequel to the first Deus Ex that was basically an expansion or extension of the first. Kind of like what Paradise Lost was for Postal 2

#345A full-featured open-world RPG that can be casually played in 2-3 hour sessions once or twice a week. I love this game format (Skyrim, BotW, WoW) etc but they're all best played very consistently for many hours at a time. I simply don't have that time anymore. Something that will remind you where you left off (what you were doing, where you were going), controls/mechanisms that aren't overly complicated (nothing wors…
You might enjoy Valheim, it's a survival game which you can casually enter in and out.

#346I always wanted to try MUD with creative mode, when player may create new areas/items/mobs using code and textual descriptions. Like Minecraft/Interactive fiction hybrid or AI dungeon without AI.

#347An augmented reality (AR) game where you actually interact with other players.
Of the AR games I know Ingress was the closest but I think the interactions were too adversarial which made the experience decline.
The creators of AR games got a lesson from it. Unfortunately it's rather "limit interaction" not "fix the interaction". Both Pokemon Go and Wizards Unite seem to have taken the path of players playing next to each other rather than with each other (I stole this sentiment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31503528).
So what I'd like is an AR game where you interact with other players in a meaningful way.

#348I developed the game I wished it existed but unfortunately since it was part of a trademark I couldn't launch it. I asked for permissions to launch it as a free game to play on the browser, but they told me would have to request to take it down. It was a really sad experience, but it was my fault after all for developing something I knew it wasn't going to be allowed.

#349Something like Rebel Inc. but better done.
Re: Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
#350I wish this game did not exist.
(sorry - rules stipulate I have to share.)
