And especially using beaurocracy or nerd powers or cultural competence or whatever...<br /><br />Anyway this seems like a really well -thought-out version of that kind of thing.<br /><br />I want to try to think of other examples...Lonesparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278753827545905559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-15943532446218869802017-03-12T14:40:25.209-04:002017-03-12T14:40:25.209-04:00I really like this!I really like this!Lonesparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278753827545905559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-42970555494299149842017-03-10T23:57:46.571-05:002017-03-10T23:57:46.571-05:00This isn't quite what you're describing, b...This isn't quite what you're describing, but you might want to look into an old PS2 game called "Michigan: Report From Hell", where you play as a cameraman and interact primarily by calling NPCs' attention to things.<br /><br />There's a handful of games where you play the "support" or "mission control" for the nominal "hero" in different ways, which is sort of related too. I've got a soft spot for that kind of game, but I'm not aware of any that's considered unambigiously "good" - the ones that come immediately to mind are all... sort of the exact opposite of good.<br /><br />"You are the person at the switchboard of a bunch of CCTV cameras and your job is to be watching the right screen at the right time during the story to keep the plot from derailing" was basically one of the dominant genres during the very short reign of FMV-based games. Another thing I have an irrational love of but which are widely accepted as terrible.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703211229982182936noreply@blogger.com
