Sci-fi
======
Generation / sleeper space ship with crew playing mmorpg to escape insanity.
They never wake up and are stuck in mmorpg players must figure out and free.
mmorpg things like guilds racial homelands, safe areas, pvp between two
factions ala Norse one. Huge, huge ship players lost on it.
Follow on game to mmropg in space one. Players manage to turn off game.
Problems develop and they never get to destination and thaw from
hibernation.
Thousands years later a few people(players) thaw. Most others are dead. On
truly gigantic ship, should be sessions before they figure out it is not
a ship.
Everyone has cyroamesia and some mental disease (manic-depressive, delusions,
catatonic-narcalepsy, split-personality). Stereotype mental illness, not
a game on psychirtry.
Players are sci-fi race on primitive world. Set themselves up as gods.
