#482An open-world Anachronox 2.
What an amazing universe they created for the original one. It was ahead of its time and is criminally underappreciated today.

#483I want a sort of civilization-but-for-countries. E.g. you are the newly elected president of Afghanistan/North Korea/Iraq/Other etc - now go rebuild infrastructure etc, set policies, see how the country develops as a result.

#485[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.

Oh man, the first time I read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH when I was a kid, I was enthralled.

#486- A low-brow, open world space sim. (Yes, I'm aware of Star Citizen, No Man's Sky, Elite and all the others, but hear me out):
I would love to fly my cheap, derelict Lada Riva equivalent of a spaceship into a space station. No landing sequence or wrestling away of controls, I want to land on my own and I want to land shittily. As I touch down, garbage is stirred up and space rats scurry away from the landing site. I get out of the ship (of course, the canopy jams and needs some hitting to open) and some spaceport employee alien comes running towards me to complain that I'm parked across two landing pads. I walk away, muttering "yeah, whatever" and head to the bar.
...you get the picture. This world, with trading, exploration, space and land combat and great characters and stories and I'd never stop playing it.
