So I have an amazing idea for a game. And it'll be called cringe quests

[iorn]

What if someone absorbed all the toxicity and cringe of the internet then converted it into an rpg maker game that pokes fun at them in a semi-serious manner. You would battle edge-lords, crazed fans,hipsters, and people like chris chan; in a fantasy sci-fi setting filled with melodramatic creatures that allow you to enter the minds of others and kill them! You would become an assassin contracted under a no faced organization that desires to make the world great again; by ridding it of the humans who have been dreamed as a threat to world peace! You will take the role of a man who has the power to claim the lives of the innocent and guilty the rich and poor. Your only goal is to obtain world peace but the level of savagery you display will impact the end game and your partners view of you.

You're speaking about hipsters and stuff.... And then about killing people who have been deemed as a world peace threat. Later you explain that the player is the one who can pass such a judgement. And that the level of savagery would change the view of your partners about you, because you can also claim lives of the innocent and guilty the rich and poor.
We have a no face organization, which wants to be as anonymous as it can, since it's a murderous one. We have the player, who takes the role of the Ultimate judge... And the goal is to kill all bad people to attain world peace... But what is world peace? Eternal happiness? No military conflicts? How in the world would you force that? If you weaken one country, the others will attack it while they can. And if you begin to kill the front political leaders, you can be sure there will be no peace at all.
If I murder, I also spread fear between those who know no background about the murders. If I spread fear, I spread other negative emotions. And also, I spread inspiration for others to do these things. Since only my partners know who I am, people in the streets will get uneasy and will trust nobody... Because they are oppressed.
Apart from missing realism this needs more thought.

You goal isn't to kill bad people it's to kill people marked as a threat to world peace. What the organization strives for is unity. A world in which things like discrimination and tasteless rage no longer exist. Remnants (which are beings created by a long dead "weapon") act as the force which will help you achieve this goal. In the end you have a choice to make. Is it right to sacrifice lives or bend them to your will in order to obtain peace; Is the human race better off being ruled by fear? Or is the only true path to our redemption extinction? No choice you make will be right or wrong.

All and all this game is going to have a serious undertone but it's still gonna be lighthearted.

 

[Poryg]

Now it's more understandable, but still very underthought. One no face organization, along with Remnants, help you achieve that goal. A world where discrimination and tasteless rage doesn't exist is utopia btw. There's no way you can eliminate discrimination in socially layered society... And no way you can eliminate human traits. We are humans, not robots. So we are different, have our different rules, emotions, views... And we are highly imperfect. And we change. You cannot just murder people because they are who they are. That is discrimination based on character, which even contradicts your own vision.
And I'll say it again. We have a no face organization that just goes around killing people. This will not go unnoticed and unanswered. Even if the Remnants were rulers of a country, people will rise. They will investigate and if the government doesn't solve things, they will take it into their hand. Groups that are inspired will rise. Groups that want to stop the killing will rise. Unrest will rise. Unrest leads to distrust and revolts. How in the world does unrest contribute to world peace? It doesn't. In fact it does quite the opposite.
Not to mention, this organisation would sooner or later be snuffed out. When you're snuffed out, you'll be driven away by angry mob. You can even be beaten to death. That's their judgement on you, the Killer.
And I could continue even further. Because this project is technically impossible. Human nature won't allow it.
There is also one important thing to say.
If an organization wants to operate on the world scale, then it needs lots of things. Lots of money, lots of people and lots of supplies. Since the organization operates as a no face organization, but is huge and needs lots of money... How will it keep its' secrets? In the real world things don't work like over the internet where everybody is anonymous.
Not to mention, lots of people mean lots of people with different opinions inside. There will be people who will doubt... And sometimes can even betray.



You can work with that idea and change it based on consequences. For example the hero can see the consequences of his actions even between commonsfolk. But as it is, it completely lacks realism.

The world peace aspect isn't really meant to be the focus of the game but I guess I should clear up a few things

1: people you harm by damaging their subconscious will enter a vegetative state with no chance of waking from it. Only those partnered with a remnant would be able to locate the one that caused it.

2:The faceless organization isn't a group of people it's more like a force of nature. that draws those who desire change to itself. It can't be taken down by brute force.


"You cannot just murder people because they are who they are"

3: Yes you can history has proven that countless times. You'll be doing it for a noble cause though. Sometimes the world doesn't need a hero, sometimes it needs a monster that's willing to stain its hands in as much blood as necessary to bring salvation. But in the end its up to you. A monster, tyrant, bystander, a controller or Armageddon itself

 

[iorn]

Can't tell you anything else though because spoilers . Also the game is more about the wacky sub plots than the main plot. The main plot is more of a back drop of sorts

 

[Poryg]

Very well, I'll say no more. I'll follow you and wait for the final result. Because I'm interested in how someone enforces utopia when Marx couldn't do it, rulers of the world couldn't do it, EU or USA couldn't do it, God couldn't do it and even terrorist organizations couldn't do it. I'm interested in a world of no discrimination that has been created by discrimination. In a world where everyone is the same to certain extent, different only in minor things (from the world's point of view). But be prepared, if I get to play your demo, I'll point out things that don't make sense. And I'm very good at that.

I don't see how edge-lords, crazed fans, hipsters, and people like Chris chan are threats to world peace, nor do I see how killing them would lead to world peace. They're just regular people on the internet, living everyday lives.

Edge-lords, I guess you mean like angsty teens? Majority grows out of it over time anyway.
Crazed fans. They're more likely to be harmful to themselves than to others.
Hipsters. They go against mainstream, so what?
People like Chris chan, so basically heavily mentally disabled people? Yeah, easy targets to make fun of because it's the internet and all. But not exactly doing you much good if you portray them as threats to world peace, whatever that even means.

 

[iorn]

"how edge-lords, crazed fans, hipsters, and people like Chris chan are threats to world peace"

1: They aren't and I never said they were. They'll just be part of the game.

"People like Chris chan, so basically heavily mentally disabled people?"

2: chris-chan isn't heavily mentally disabled; He's just a racist cringe machine.

Since there's so "many" people having a fit over the main story I guess I'll go back to the basics
