10 Amazing Ideas Wasted On Terrible Video Games

4. A Multiplayer Telltale-Style Story - Hidden Agenda

Supermassive Games came out of nowhere to announce themselves as the new authority on story-driven, choose-your-own-adventure titles with Until Dawn, but they've proceeded to experiment with their genres ever since. Between some ill-fated attempts at VR was Hidden Agenda, a game which, on the surface, looked incredibly unique.

It was essentially a detective game with mechanics similar to Until Dawn, only this time other players had influence over the story. It was still only one player controlling the experience outright, but other people were allowed to jump into the title via PlayLink and vote on vital narrative decisions. There was a competitive mode as well, where one player would receive a secret objective and actually have to work against the others without being found out.

The end result was awkward as all hell however, with the story itself not exactly being the riveting detective thriller many were expecting.
