You are the Murphinator, or as other lame people insist on calling you, "Murphy."

Which Murphy, you ask? Why, none other than the Murphy of Murphy's Law!

That's right, you are the actual embodiment of bad fortune itself. You play the eponymous Murphy of Murphy's Law, skunking around in the works making sure stuff of all types and scenarios, big and small, do indeed go wrong. It's a big job, but someone has to do it! 

Usually expressed in the adage, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." most folks don't realize this isn't simply a coincidence, but instead hard work!

But it's all worth it, when people see the results of your labors and bemoan your influence.

This would be Twine game and you would be able to interact with various objects and environmental fixtures from place to place in various ways.

When clicking on a noun, you will be given various options on what you could do to it (frost wedging, wear and tear, cracking, condensation, electrical shorts, the arrival of a hungry bear, inclement weather of all types, inopportune passerby's, deorbiting satellites, etc, etc.).

This is sort of like being the force behind Final Destination, but MUCH less murdery.

It basically dials in the player's penchant for making chaos.

I have a few different ideas for plot and potential themes, but I'm not happy with any particular one, so I'll leave you with the base idea instead and if I get inspiration later, I'll circle back and add more.

The base idea is honestly bare bones simple, but the execution could be very amusing.
