 A survival-horror game who's protagonist is actually a character from an action-RPG the dashing hero from one of those old swashbuckler flicks..

A 2D shooter a-la Metal Slug but slower, with covers, where the story is procedural and you can talk to every single existing NPC to change it to follow your morals.

One line, eh?

A sword fighting game where landed blows are lethal, but with a non-binary blocking system to compensate.

Sounds like a good way to think about your game. Let me try...

Mixing chess with action battles set up in a Sumerian mythology world, while every unit has it's own unique ability.

It's a 1.5D RPG much like Earthbound. You collect trading cards that look like this to get new abilities. It could be online and you could trade cards with people. Gomez

I wanted to create a commercial 3D game this summer. Turns out, my idea was 90% clone of Alien Swarm/Alien Breed with a more arcade feel and also a bit mixed with tower defense. Concerned

I don't know, but whatever sprouts from this idea, is a cyberpunk 1920s setting.

Funny, I was working on a similar idea but it's more of a 1930s dieselpunk tech-noir...

Now I got that idea! A city-wide puzzle. One big puzzle thingy. In some cyberpunk city in 1923. Solve the puzzle, and I don't know what happens from this point. I'll make it up as I go along, like this post.

I had weird flashback from my childhood's tv-ads about Scannerz.

How about game for mobile phones which can read barcodes? Either monster fighting game like the one I mentioned or perhaps each barcode represents unique item, spell etc. while some are used for unique roguelike dungeons. So in effect each barcode is used as seed value of dungeons.

Good god, I had one of those. It took about 5 minutes to get it to scan a single barcode. BOOP. ERROR. BOOP. ERROR. BOOP. ERROR. BOOP. ERROR.

So terrible.

But a barcode game might be cool if the technology can actually support it...

I never had one though since I was Pokemon fanboy :D
Barcode scanning should work very well technology wise since there is already barcode and QR reading apps for phones and libraries to do them.

Great minds[1] think alike[2]:

Had this idea yesterday on the subway after work:

Levels are generated by snapping a QR code with your phone. The game loads the symbol and adjusts it to be playable according to whatever the game's mechanics are (I don't know) – and if your data connection is active, it polls the target URL, plucking out a colour scheme and uses its HTML as a seed to generate level content.

The game itself would be a simple 3/4 view maze navigator/arena combat thing. The black squares of the QR symbol become wall blocks, some destructible, some climbable with ladders, and denser areas of the code produce higher walls (or turrets?). Player starts in the lower right corner and has to activate switches, or something, in the three registration corners, which are heavily guarded.

Then I transferred to another train and stopped thinking about it.

I might mock this up at some point...

1 – For the sake of argument let's assume I have a great mind.
2 – Or similarly.
