They also have similar storytelling methods though in two different directions (Souls reveals it's stories through implications in flavor text, Miami does it through implications in dialog, both use the environment for storytelling) and both have divisive sequels which detractors claim missed the point of the original. Both are also all about that 'smash your head against a wall until it falls down' style of difficulty.

The name Miami Souls is beginning to grow on me. Anyone have any ideas for what it could be apart from a mashup between Dark Souls and Hotline Miami?

Sixth Sense meets Burn Notice. Or Dexter.

A visual novel that isn't anime?

Was Myst like that? What about the walking dead and such?

it's only trying to be shitty japanese art

A game with a non-sexualized monster girl protagonist. I can only think of one.

Myst, not really. Walking Dead and other Telltale games are debatable.

[SealyStar]

I don't recall Myst being about long stretches of non-interactive dialog punctuated by seemingly arbitrary and often binary choices, which is how I define a visual novel and most of why I hate them.

Telltale games could be thought of as VN derivatives; they have the same (annoying lack of) gameplay and a similar focus on character interactions and dialogue in a very linear fashion. I would consider them essentially VNs adapted to both American cultural sensibilities and big budgets allowing for 3D animation and QTEs.

A Myst-licensed game where you play a writer, with access to the Art and everything. There actually is a Minecraft mod that adds that...

[Comito]

Spore as it should have been, before EA sucked all the soul from it.

[Bohandas]

Something like Guild of Dungeoneers but with more depth and variety to the gameplay. As it is there's only about half a dozen skills/decks with only about four levels each and it becomes repetitive very quickly. Plus upgrading is rather grindy. I'd add a bunch of new skill decks and make them all go up to at least level 6.

I'd also like to see the same concept implemented with different themes than fantasy (like outer space or wild west or prehistoric or noir)

A Star Wars 4x, covering all of the known Expanded Universe, from the beginning to the end of the known Star Wars timeline.

*A space 4x where you don't start with FTL and it isn't the first thing on the tech tree either

Alien Legacy is kind of close.
Not quite 4x and no tech tree in the exact sense, but it's RTS with pause and you must get resources, expand, research, upgrade and later fight.

A Warhammer 40000 videogame, accurate to the actual rules of Warhammer 40k, where you play as the forces of Chaos.

I doubt anyone would make Chaos-only. And with the current less than clear situation on both ends possibility of a licensed game seems blurry. Thus, your best chance is VASSAL.

Chaos is yucky. Imperium ftw.

The stories still exist, it's not like they were all vaporized :v

Distant Worlds: Universe has a start without FTL, I think you need to find some ruins to unlock that research. It happens fairly early tho, otherwise you can't progress beyond your starting 4 or 5 planets.
