I guess Starcraft is the current good RTS but I find it a bit too much. Maybe it's nostalgia but I found those games a lot more approachable and fun to play. I guess I want Starcraft but set in real world.

Maybe something like this already exists?

One Game which has it all - re-creating Dante's Inferno.

Types of game mechanics:

Overview - Cut scene

First Circle (Limbo) - 2D black and white like the game limbo

Second Circle (Lust) - Isometric like monument valley

Third Circle (Gluttony) - Mobile AR game to collect resources like pokemon go

Fourth Circle (Greed) - resource management/strategy like factorio

Fifth Circle (Wrath) - 2D pixel art like Duke Nukem

Sixth Circle (Heresy) - classic text adventure

Seventh Circle (Violence) - Glory Kill 3D system like DOOM

Eighth Circle (Fraud) - another mobile game with puzzles

Ninth Circle (Treachery) - VR

=====

Easter Eggs:

- The text adventure level (Sixth Circle) should have an easter egg which helps you freely move to any circle (a hidden response option)

Storyline/Premise for the Rounds:

First Circle (Limbo) - our protagonist wakes up in a world where life is monotonous and structured (think start of Walter Mitty)

Second Circle (Lust) - evening party in club, has to socialize, meets a girl/guy he likes, they end up the night together

Third Circle (Gluttony) - morning has to find ingredients around the house for a full breakfast around the house to have a breakfast. She leaves but with cryptic messages to find her later in the game.

Fourth Circle (Greed) - goes to office and needs to manage his team/business i.e. product launch or bidding on a complex contract or moving supply chain around the world kind of optimization problems to improve top line or bottom line. (think strategy gamnes)

Fifth Circle (Wrath) - does something wrong, now has to run away from various bosses and colleagues who send monsters/killer robots after him (think Matrix)

Sixth Circle (Heresy) - someone starts texting him, as God, suddenly on an app he didn't know he have. Red pill or blue pill. obv takes the blue pill and turns out it was the same guy/girl from Lust/Gluttony stage and now they want him to fight for the survival of the civilization (Maybe a third pill for the Easter egg?)

Seventh Circle (Violence) - he is given weapons to fight back through an army who is ready to destroy civilization! Finally he ends up being killed.

Eighth Circle (Fraud) - wakes up on a multi generational ship which arrives a new solar system. turns out everything so far was simulated dreams in a cryo chamber to bring humanity to a new viable solar system.

Ninth Circle (Treachery) - but now he finds out that the solar systems has an alien race like Borg who are evil and he & everyone on the ship must fight once and for all to win his and everyone's freedom!

The only worse thing I can imagine would be combining persecution complex-inducing game with an FPS.
