I had an idea of a game where you played as a photojournalist documenting the brutality of a near-future totalitarian regime. There would be elements of stealth because you’d have to evade the police to take your photos and you have pretty much no combat ability. You’d use your earnings from selling the photos to gradually upgrade your equipment, maybe starting off with a shitty cell phone camera and working your way up to professional quality full frame SLRs. I’d want it to simulate the workings of a real camera… f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc., so you’re challenged with getting good, usable photos in difficult conditions.
This is more or less what I wish Beyond Good And Evil had been. The combat in that game wasn't good but I liked the idea of having to photograph evidence and getting photos of wildlife on the side to earn some money. It wasn't nearly as fleshed out as your idea though.
