Could you elaborate on 'open world, but it is explored in a linear fashion'? I'm not sure I get what you mean.
Are the other people also uploaded minds, or are they computer generated?
Does the outside world contact James?
1. Think Dead Island.
2. Yes, but their personalities are fragmented and twisted as they didn't upload correctly.
3. They try the entire game, but they never succeed until the end.
I would change the virus into something far more interesting. In my opinion, the virus should be the Director of the project. The backstory behind the Director could be anything. I'm leaning towards a mentally deranged psycho who enjoys torturing people because he has lost everything. He has uploaded his mind into this system so he can gain infinite pleasure from destroying that which he once had.
By God, that's genius!
*writes down*
I would change the ending as well. The ending should be determined by the choices you make in the game. You could have a corruption line. The more evil you are, the more corrupted you become. If you become super evil, you defeat the Director however your mind becomes the base for the new virus. Also, you could reveal that the virus is actually an indestructible entity that feeds on human emotions. It is a parasite that infects the minds of human beings. The virus was controlling the Director. It was locked away in this system along with the Director. The only way to prevent the infection is by feeding it human minds. Turns out that the government has also struck a deal with the parasite. As long as they provide it with fresh minds, it won't destroy Earth.
