You must use this mechanic to manipulate people in certain situations in a range of different missions. Choose to use this ability for good or self gain and greed like robbing banks. For example you would pose as a guard, to a bank employee to a police officer.
This mechanic is limited by a timelimit and that you can only remain as that person as long as they do not see you. You can only transform into people that are in a close vicinity but you must not be seen together so stealth and timing plays a big part into this games core gameplay.

Gameplay:
Okay I got a new keyboard... For this game I had an idea on a turn based dungeon crawler where you are pushed through a level and when you encounter an enemy you are presented with a number of options, to attack, run etc. But in order to execute the command you chose you must copy the keystrokes presented onscreen in the correct order and they will only be up for a few seconds. Failure in doing so will cause you to improperly execute your command and you will be left vulnerable to attack.
Difficulty scales as the levels go on and the keystrokes appear for less amounts of time and require more keys/buttons to copy.
This mechanic also applies to pickups like powerful items and pickups. Some pickups may be a timed auto button presser so that all keystrokes presented with will be filled automatically.
