    Another game that pulled this off at a larger scale was the GMod map gm_construct 13 beta. If you have Gmod, try it out https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2553727051

    For those that just want to see what the fuss is about:

    The main feature of the mod aside from all the spooky stuff Users of the mod are pooled into lobbies and randomly show up as NPCs in the instances of other users. It's honestly quite creepy to have random people showing up as broken models, doing weird things in your solo/offline game. https://gm13.xalalau.com/wiki/Mingebags

      They are called "puppets". They usually behave like a regular NPC but sometimes a human will use it as a puppet to interact with players. There's sometimes no indication that an NPC is being used as a puppet.
