Cloud Chamber is an upcoming MMO where, instead of fighting, you collaborate with others to solve a mystery. Their aim is to mix real world knowledge of astrophysics and astrogeography with their own in-game story line. Here's the RPS preview: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/03/25/first-look-cloud-chamber/

Obviously this won't appeal to every gamer but I do find the concept intrguing.

this is pretty cool!

Looks interesting, good to see a fresh MMO concept. Thanks for that.

Yeah that's what interested me about it.

Btw, some have jokingly called it "Reddit: The Game" but I feel that's slightly unfair :P

A game where you have to think? My brain hurts just thinking about it. :|

Yeah this game won't appeal to people who just want to shoot stuff :P. I do like the idea of people trying fundamentally different ideas as to what an MMO can be rather than sticking to variations on the same formula (e.g. WoW etc).

The most trendy, idiotic and shitty title I have ever read. They could have called it the Facebook "Yadda Yadda Internet" MMO, for what it's worth....

Interesting, very good concept.

From what I saw, it kind of links into the same thing as Extrasolar (https://extrasolar.com/), but it is a single player game.
