TheCyborgNinja 12/23/17 6:45:19 AM #18:	The Xbox game was way ahead of its time. The tech was limited, and Id love to se it done on new consoles. There were trust and sanity meters and some people would be the alien. If you gave somebody a flamethrower, for instance, they had your back no matter what. Itd also raise their sanity a bit, as they felt safer. If someone saw some stuff, they might crack and just attack you. I had one guy go nuts and the guy who trusted me killed him...
