Imagine that classic Star Trek scene where a crisis erupts, you’re in the captain’s chair, and you ask your bridge crew, “options?”

In a modern game, the crisis was scripted, and then you’ll get a scripted followup, or you’ll get a few scripted answers you can choose from, and half the challenge is figuring out which ones the game designers think are the good ones and which ones are supposed to kill you.

Now let’s imagine the crisis arose organically because you got yourself into a bad situation, and the options from your crew make sense in context, and maybe none of them will save you or maybe some will and you can’t just figure out which ones the game designers thought were good.

Basically, tabletop roleplaying with a good group and a good DM, but as a solo game with fancy graphics and all that.

I’d pay good money for that sort of thing, and it’s not something that can be built yet but which sufficiently good AI tech can enable (or maybe it’s now possible but only very recently).
