I like the idea, but I'm afraid it will turn into an attempt to another
violence-based fantasy thing. On the other hand, if you look at a thing like
Myst, you can do very nice things where graphics are more important then gore.
I suggest an adventure-type game playing in a (labyrinth-) museum where each
contributor can add a room. For instance each cell can be 10 cubic POV-units
with a door in the middle of one wall. Whatever goes on inside is up to the
contributor, but there has to be something to put in and something to 'collect'.

I'd be very much interested in (co-)developing such a concept.
