this isn't a "dumb" idea but I couldn't find the "your idea for a video game" thread

I've wanted to make this for a while; a visual novel game where you wake up with no memories in a bunker during a huge apocalypse with survivors from alternate universes. You try to recall how you got here and why while making friends and rivals along the way - no romance though, that's not necessary. Eventally you find just barely enough clues to make an educated guess as to what happened with this apocalypse thing, and in the end it's revealed that The apocalypse was a lie created by a group of shady scientists as a test to see how long it would take for you all to discover that the outside world is, in fact, completely normal and safe.

Inconsistently active.

Idiot.com, the Evil Counterpart to Genius.com. Instead of revealing deep or hidden meanings behind song lyrics, Idiot.com gives you meanings that are completely wrong and ridiculous. It'll be like r/shittymoviedetails for song lyrics.

Example from "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi:


We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Notes for this lyric on Genius.com

Notes for this lyric on Idiot.com:

"By 'shot,' they are obviously referring to shots of alcohol. But they're definitely going to drink more than just a shot, because who can resist? As for the 'that's a lot for love' part, clearly this means they're going to... well, we'll tell you when you're older."

A colon cancer screening company that makes the mascot the box the kit comes in so their entire public image hinges on the concept of the box being recognizable.

[up] x7 As a shittymoviedetails enjoyer, I actually think that's a cool idea...

As for my actual bad idea: a mafia-themed American Dragon: Jake Long spinoff that only exists to make a pun on "Sicilian Dragon".

Someone who goes by 1st or 2nd person pronouns instead of 3rd person; so instead of he/her or she/her they're an I/my.

Who's on First? ensues.

I'm sorry.

A cover of Three Days Grace's "Pain", but it talks about food and it's renamed "Grain".

Grain, without cloves, grain, I can't get enough
Grain, I like duff, 'cause I'd rather eat grain than nothing at all..

Recruiting baseball umpires sick with the flu, brainwashing the players who only think of it as a Game of Nerds and convincing them to rapidly steal his clothes in the middle of a game and pin it on the rival team to get them arrested, then un-brainwashing them so that they can feel guilty and turn themselves in, all for the sake of reducing the game to being even more boring than it was before.
