Q: What's the craziest game idea you've had?
A: A while back I had an idea for a game that starts with you waking up in bed in a hotel. You do what you want, wander around, take the elevator to different floors, break into other people's rooms and see what's going on there, or perhaps try to get past the police who you find preventing anyone from leaving the hotel.
After 30 minutes of this, the hotel explodes and collapses killing everyone inside, including you. After the explosion cutscene plays, it begins to rewind and you see flashes of important people and places in the hotel at times leading up to the explosion and then you wake up back in your bed in the hotel with this whole Groundhog's Day thing going on.
The idea is that the hotel is a closed system with completely dynamic actors moving through it who, if left to their own devices, bring about the destruction of the hotel. The main goal of the game is for you to interact with the world and these actors so that their combined action produces an acceptable result.
