Okay, so this is a cyberpunk noir detective story revolving around this ground breaking VR game called ‘P.S.Y.C.H.E’ which gathers all data from the player’s psyche and customizes its genre with procedural generated levels tailored to his thoughts. The game has incredible social media features that allow people to share their memory logs and make it playable to other people. Our protagonist is a private investigator who has to team up with a lawyer on a case revolving a child who had a mental shutdown after experiencing traumatic events within the game. His parents have filed a lawsuit against the production company asking for it to be shut down. This case has gone viral due to large number of similar cases. However, opposition to this is very strong as well with many cases existing where players have found themselves overcoming their fears through the game and also finding inner peace. Is P.S.Y.C.H.E actually dangerous to humankind? ---- Just got this idea in last 30 mins and had to jot it down. But, before I began elaborating it, I wanted to understand if this is something people would like. Considering this place seems to be the most accurate representation of the target audience I am going for. What do you guys think of it? It's pretty obvious that this is a commentary on the perception of videogames and social media in general. What do you like/not like about this? What would you guys want in a story like this? What would you hate to see in a story like this?
