While that would be fun, I could see it as incredibly painful if you set yourself up as a king of say Fantasy-England, ruled it through successive generations only to start hitting an irrevocable powerloss as democracies and the rights for people start becoming prevalent.

The oppression will continue until morale improves.

A Kerbal Space Simulator sort of design simulator where you design and create giant robots to fight kaiju.  Design elements would give bonuses to strength, durability, agility, you can choose weapon load outs ( specialising in ranged or melee, for example ), that sort of thing.  You also design its AI, which you want to make advanced so as to be more combat effective, but no so advanced that it goes haywire and just becomes another rampaging giant thing that you need another robot to take care of.

You get a budget, depending on success, limiting your options and increasing the challenge.  Having robots that can support themselves out in the field in terms of power and repair is also useful, as constantly patrolling robots can react to kaiju attacks faster and reassures the nations of the world, increasing popular support.  However, more short-ranged robots that need to return to base to refuel and repair can be made much more powerful than their more self-sufficient counterparts, with more energy consuming big guns and parts to compensate.  So it's a matter of priorities.

Plus, there'll be DLC where you control the aliens creating the kaijus, with a biological production and design interface, wherein you can send giant monsters on terror missions to destroy the human race.  All good fun.

I know this is really unspecific, but I want a game that features freeing souls, healing ghosts, going into the afterlife, etc. as a plot element. I always find that really heartwarming and poignant. Except when it's Lavender Tower in Pokemon Red and Blue because fuck that place I still find it kinda scary.

There's a lot of RPG Maker horror games that have it, but I'd like to see it explored in other gameplay genres. I always interpreted the inside of the Moon in Majora's Mask as a kind of afterlife/purgatory sort of place.

OK this one just came to me.

I want a superhero/covert RPG-sim in the style of, say, Baldurs Gate or the latest Shadowrun games, where the emphasis is in the downtime as much as the action.

As an example, Peter Parker wouldn't tell quite as exciting a story if he constantly didn't have to worry about money and supporting his family. Bruce Wayne has appearances to keep up in order to maintain his cover. In a way it's a little bit like the movie Mystery Men. The main characters have family lives and day time jobs and other obligations - they can likely only manage to meet up once or twice a week for training and missions.

In the game, your characters family and job would dictate how much time they could commit to heroics without raising suspicion. Fly under the radar consistently, and the government and your wife won't find out about it. But the pressures of your critical mission will dictate late nights, missed deadlines and forgetting to pick up little Timmy after soccer practice, and as pressures mount so will the strain on your family, job and marriage. These can be placated by spending a night out with the wife, longer hours at the office or taking a vacation with the family but the evil will continue to grow stronger in the meantime.

Sure, you might opt to run a hero who has little commitments, but they'll lack the support network, cover and resources of a family man with a steady job. Conversely the difficulty will increase if you run a player with a rich social life, a needy spouse and kids and a stressful job.
Now add two or three other operatives to your team and try to minimize personal collateral damage while you run your missions.

How will the story end - the evil is vanquished but your own life is in ruins? Or will you manage to protect your friends and family at a great cost?

 It would be interesting to see if someone could put together an Alien game, outside of the survival-horror genre. An Alien FPS, or perhaps a management sim. Something like Command & Conquer, with the same kind of 'double sided combat' where you can act as either side. Be the Commander of a military response team, then expand your hive as the Xenomorph Queen. On the FPS side of things? Well, ever heard of that Colonial Marines SS13 server? Yeah, that, in FPS perspective. It would all depend on player numbers, though. I doubt it would be possible to do. Battlefield 4 sports a total player limit of 60. On the SS13 server, 60 people could easily be only one faction out of 110+. It seems that literally this exact concept exists. Disregard that.

I want a fantasy creature simulator (not exactly a Pokemon clone) where you can breed creatures to create things that weren't foreseen by the developers in any way, shape or form. Different traits conflict or replace eachother, and some creatures are totally incompatible, so it could take multiple generations to make true monstrosities.

It's an AR game, sort of like Pokemon Go, except creatures are more specifically land-locked. So genes from one part of the world might not reach the rest of the players for a long time.

this was something i've been doing the first drafts.

a singleplayer (or multiplayer), monster collection world simulator..

the basic concept is to simulate a world like that of Pokemon or the like. but instead of saying a set narrative of "hey, you're going to collect all these species and complete all these gyms and leagues while kicking the bad guys asses"

the game would tell you "here, welcome to our region, if you're looking for battles we have plenty, choose the monster you like and have fun. if battles arent your thing you can either help to the economy working on extraction or crafting, maybe trading. or you can volunteer on the monster hospital, science base, or as a breeder...if that doesnt suit your needs, you could try and prove shady deals with the criminal organizations....or look for more, sacred and hidden secret societies related to the most ancient and mystic parts of the world....."

you know, like some kind of "pokemon: sandbox version"....

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this earlier, or I'm having a mental case of Deja Vu... 

Edit : Think I'm gonna start writing up some framework for this - I've been thinking about it a lot over the last few days anyway. PLANNING HO!

[EnigmaticHat]

An urban fantasy economics game.

You start alone in a city with no assets, no particular skills, no contacts, and you owe a lot of money to some very dangerous people.  To do anything at all, you need to make deals for resources.  You can go to banks (or less savory sources) to get money to hopefully start a successful business, participate in criminal activities, or you can turn to supernatural forces to make a (possibly literal) deal with the devil to get any number of different things.  But each person you go to will have their own expectations of you, pushing you further into one kind of debt or the other.

You win when you manage to beat the odds and be free of all your debts.

I want a pokemon FPS where you tie pikachu to a rifle stock and use him as a gun. As you advance through the campaign, you collect more pokemon and stick them bazzokas and stuff.

I want a Lord of the Rings game from the perspective of Gollum.  You have a Middle Earth world map, lots of different biomes and settlements and factions you can sneak around, steal from, murder sneakily, and otherwise explore.  Eventually Gollum's body starts shutting down the longer he strays from the direction of the One Ring, which will constantly blaze like a beacon on the world map, and Gollum gets stronger the nearer he is to it.
