    Thank you for the additional read. I always wondered if I could do something like that. Just for the sake of it, with research, dreasing, acting and managing the right speech\behavior patterns to calm down their alerts. I’d honestly buy a game about that, like a reverse LA Noire. I think many millenials and zoomers would love to play-pretend they aren’t themselves for a moment, see the popularity of Mafia in their generation at least in x-USSR: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
