I like a game where you effectively have a career and level up into new types of gameplay.
One idea I had is where you start as an intern for local government all your superiors are insane, incompetent, drunks or drug addicts making crazy demands.
It kind of a city builder sim but plays like Papers Please and the politics aspect of CK2. You get things done by doing favours, you have various conditions for failure like the city goes to shit, it goes bankrupt, you get caught for corruption ect. Eventually you work your way up to Mayor and you've inherited a city that's just nonsense. Sewage plants next to hospitals, all the schools have been bulldozed to make way for fast food restaurants, crack cocaine is legal and half the city is addicted to it ect.
At that point you get actual control of the city and have to recover it before you can move on to the next map.
