Zeusthecat Posted January 16, 2014 One concept I think would be really interesting (and probably highly controversial) would be a game that depicts a group of friends doing mushrooms or acid. If you were able to play through the experience that each character has during their trip, there could be a lot of possibility for some unique gameplay mechanics and visuals.

Zeusthecat Posted January 16, 2014 Full Throttle was originally going to include a sequence where Ben takes a peyote induced hallucinogenic trip. Now that would have been fantastic. I imagine this is the type of thing that a developer would have a really hard time doing without feeling compelled to tie it to a "drugs are bad" message so as not to seem like they are encouraging drug use.
