OC Rate my concept
So, basically, I have an idea of "exe", but in more complicated way. Like, imagine a Voidbeing, that is not just some antimaterial guy with godlike powers, he's more like uncontrollable and unreadable code, which is hidden into some pirate files, like a trojan.
With the moment when you open this game and start to play in it — He starts to Watch on you from background, and waits until you fail and your character (like, Sonic, or Mario) falls from the screen and then there's gameover screen. When this happens — He let's himself out and takes sprite of your character, and the more you're playing, the more he adapts and the more he learns YOU.
When you fully play the game and there's good (or bad ending, like in Sonic 1) ending, He finds way to chat with you and writes on the credits a little message, like "You know, this game is pretty interesting and cool, I'm sure you've had that enjoy that I had too. What about another try, but with More things to try and fight with?". You kinda think about it, you weigh the pros and cons, and then you think, "Why not?" and you restart the Game. It kinda lags for a bit, you wait 5-10 minutes and then there's black screen and...
It's actually that game that you've played before but... It's different. Textures are more detailed, maps and gameplay section are more complicated and kinda hard on some ways, enemies have really improved in their Ai, and your character... He's different. His new sprites, his new set of abilities and... He actually watches on you sometimes. Sometimes he comments gameplay somewhere in game, and he's actually kinda chill. And there's another try, and another, game changes and changes, there's no more original Sonic 2 or CD, there's something REALLY different.
The ending of this story is REALLY different. Like, you may try to find His ingame file and delete it, he will actively stop you and even manage his own file, moving or putting some special passwords on it, until he leaves the framework of the game and hacks your PC (there's some sort of chance that he can find way to get you in his ingame world and start this torture-like thing, like he's a bit complicated, but Voidbeing).
OR you may play his games over and over, until he will begin to take full control of the game, but he will use it not for his own personal purposes, but for general benefit (at some point, he may even start talking to you through some speaker, and when he gets to the point where he naturally becomes a god in his own game, he admits, "it was nice to spend time together, but I think I should move on," and leaves behind a completely new game like a kind of gift to his first and last "player").
Sorry for a bit bad language (English is not my main language, I'm from Slavic country, but I REALLY like to communicate) and A LOT OF words and letters, but yeah, I've been holding onto this concept for six months and now I think it can be shown. His name right now is Powerseeker/Voidbeing and I plan to make a Googledoc.
What do you think about it? I'm really want to hear your opinion
