Another dream, another text-adventure idea ...

This time, I had a dream that I was ... in some sort of video game, and/or in the process of creating it, in which there was this "black hole" type deal where I was going to fight this evil dark Emperor/God/Whatever.

In a roundabout way, after I'd woken up, I started to get the idea of a text adventure where you actually opposed this emperor. I came up with the idea of you playing a magical catlike creature who was the emperor's "pet", and you could transform your right hand into various things, such as a hairbrush, or a wash cloth or something when washing (the idea sprung from how cats groom themselves -- why not be able to do so more literally?), and a part of the gameplay would revolve around finding "essences" to absorb into the hand to transform it into other useful things. I suppose the problem with this would be the fact that it might be seen as a bit naughty, if I were to go with the above premise exactly as written ... (On the other hand, why not just run with the naughtiness, a la Leather Goddesses of Phobos?)
