That ai pic looks downright terrifying. Made do a double take as I was scrolling down. Though I suppose fitting for a stepford.. girlfriend? concept. Wasn't there a remake in the 2000s of the original film?

Also this thread reminded me of an idea I had this summer - run a game based on a reality TV show, specifically was thinking about "Love Island". It would be a public game with open access for observers, who would also be active participants, acting as an "audience" and participating in the elimination votes. The players (a revolving cast perhaps) would be portraying these larger than life characters doing wild reality TV show things - dating, doing challenges, etc. Could be spiced up with some unexpected twists, like a pinch of lovecraftian horror mixed in or something like that.

yes, in the plot she was a 'mail order girlfriend' who started malfunctioning and created massive havoc at a summer party.

Now that's a tough question. I can't even come up with actors for any of my own characters, unless they're specifically inspired by one πŸ˜„

I feel like older Harrison Ford would be able to capture his paranoid and reclusive vibe well, acting-wise. Maybe he's not the best fit visually, but if he gains a bit of weight and grows a beard (and gets his eyes replaced), I could see it.

Agent Indigo from Harrigan’s Delta Green game a few years ago does bear a striking resemblance to a certain Julian Richings.
