Unique video game idea

This idea was inspired by Dark Soul's multiplayer and that one other video game...I forget what it's called. It's an artsy game that's about you trying to get to the top of a mountain or something with an NPC to help you. There's no way to communicate with the NPC except through beeps and movement, and at the end you find out that the NPC is another person.

Anyways. How would you like a video game where you play through certain levels that take 3 or 4 hours to complete. At the very start of the level you would be paired up with 1 or 2 other people and you would have to work together to complete it. Teamwork would be absolutely everything. You'd have to stick together to survive like left 4 dead. Work together to finish puzzles like Portal.

The environment of the game would be oppressing and you'd never know when the next enemy or challenge could kill you. It would be going into a dark cave full of potential dangers, and the only thing you have would be your partner.


At the end of this experience, if you make it to the end, you're greeted by the safezone you know will end the level once you step inside. But once the level ends, you know that you'll never be able to talk or meet this person again since the game doesn't allow friends, and doesn't allow you to be paired up with the same person again.

I would probably play that.

Would be a bit difficult to get started, as it would be a game completely dependent on its online community. And if the community wasn't large enough the whole aspect of the game could easily fail. It's kind of that thing that it needs more people to work, but no one will help it work because there is no people.
