Would that work?

Hello all, so I really like to do weird games, I may players have been reacting well to it, but now it’s getting kind of hard do have new weird ideas that are also fun and viable.

After taking a look at weird video games I got inspired by killer 7 to make a game where all my four players would control the same character.

Their dice results would indicate whose action was the official action taken by the character and if they all fail their rolls I would take over I do the worst and craziest possible thing for the character in that particular moment.

I know that may lead to a lot of fights but I think it’s a fun idea. What you guys think would that work?

Not long term. But I suppose it could be fun in a comedic sort of way for a session or two.

There's a few indie RPGs that operate on similar premises. The player characters actually being emotions or impulses that control actions of a single physical character and whatnot.

Take a look at Everyone is John, which is just about exactly this.

Forum Suggestion games also tend to fit this description.
