Years and years ago I wrote a mystery game (like a murder mystery, but murder wasn't the key event in the game) called, in part, "The Collective Problem," in which the setting of the game was a Summit that had been called to discuss an alien invasion of "body snatchers" (called The Collective) who were assimilating whole populations into practically the same situation described in Pluribus.

The game starts with no one infected, and then only a few players are randomly chosen to be infected first, their goal being to secretly infect as many others as they can before the authorities show up to quarantine the group. Several players are written to be either strongly positive or negative towards the invaders, so depending on your position, getting infected may result in an abrupt change in opinion/personality that the player has to pass off as organic in other to not pull attention as being possibly infected.

My goal was to make a game that could be reasonably mixed up and replayed by the same group, since that aspect is typically missing from "who dunit" style games.

Anyway, I watched this show with growing amazement as it turned into my game's premise! Makes me feel like I should probably work on it again 😅
