The original pitch for Mind Control

Mind Control


Pyrokinesis in a explosives factory to the style of the video clip ”Ganster Trippin”.


Keith works at an a explosives factory. Its is just another day packing TNT when he hears the fire alarm. Thats bad, he starts to panic as he knows he needs to get out of the factory quick. However there is one problem, in stressful situations Keith suffers from compulsive “Pyrokinesis” - the ability to blow stuff up with his mind.

If he doesn't ignite something close by his head starts to swell until it explodes.

So Keiths gotta make his way through the building picking out things to explode that will cause him the least amount of harm and not prevent him from escaping.

There is hope however, Keith always keeps “anti-pyro” calming pills nearby (say about a room away). They only work temporarily, so he still needs to get out of the building and, who knows, some obstacles may require his near suicidal powers to overcome.


Mechanics:

  • racing against the clock (in this case his swelling head)

  • his skill is a double edged sword may help or hinder him

  • must constantly use skill just to stay alive

  • puzzles, solve by selectively igniting his environment (TNT, objects, doors, barrels, etc)

  • one possible mechanic is that the longer Keith allows his head to swell the larger the release of pyrokinesis.

  • constant trade off between movement and appeasing his potentially fatal power.


Fun factor:

  • blowing stuff up

  • blowing stuff up in slow motion

  • chain reactions of stuff blowing up

  • puzzle solving


Visual Style:

  • Either semi realistic or cartoon


Technology

  • third person 3d.
