A sci-fi/dystopian game based on Paranoia + Brave New World + 1984. Game setting would be some kind of 'complex', supposedly the last safe city in the world, controlled by an all-powerful figure AI/person/whatever, with a heavily stratified society. Characters would be told that they have been brought in to make up for the lessening population, but there would be some (to be decided) sinister purpose behind it.

Characters would keep their powers, either registering them upon arrival and have them kept under check by the government, or not doing so and facing punishment if they are discovered.

Death would be handled by 'clones'. The complex recycles everything, including genetic codes, so when people die they just download their memories into a new body. Canon/power updates would also be explained using this system, updates are errors in the cloning system.

Other thing would be the option of working with/against the government.

Thoughts?

All the stuff that you have so far seems like really generic/baseline material. Characters brought to a new, somehow oppressive world to make up for lessening populations is a concept that I've seen in at least three different games, and I haven't even been in the panfandom community that long.

The things like the whys of the situation, which are all "to be decided" in this description, are the only place where the originality could lie. And honestly, unless you give this concept a fresh twist its just going to sink right into the rest of the DW jamjar mush.

if they can clone that easily why would the population be low enough that they need to bring in n00bs?

Your character wakes up in a generic jamjar, helpless and oppressed. It is pitch black. They are likely to be eaten by a grue.
