I have an idea for a game: It’s the usual “a princess is kidnapped by a dragon and a brave knight is on a quest to rescue her” story. But you (the player) plays as the princess, who is somehow helping the knight on his quest....
!gamedev and !game_design might be able to help you too. Idea sounds very cool! I’d love to play when it comes out.
The princess telepathically communicating with the knight does not have to be the same as if you were playing as the knight. You could have it that way, such that she tells him every time to jump or swing his sword. Or you could limit her telepathy communications to a few per day, so she can only give him general directives and check his progress/environment. You will not have all the information all the time and have to guess the situation off the few snapshots in time you get and hope the orders you give lead him to you. I swear there have to be a few other games with the idea of the player character having to influence others and not being able to directly act themselves, a kind of “person in the control room giving the orders” simulator, that you might be able to look at.
When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links....
A lot of those links will not work, because they have the order of the instance and community name swapped. It's !communityName@instanceName, not !instanceName@communityName. If you want what I've got so far in a more horizontal format like what you posted, here you go. I will not be updating this format, except maybe at the end after everyone's stopped submitting communities.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:
