Sorry to burst your bubble but that's pretty cliché, the bad guy doesn't necessarily have to be someone from the government. What I liked about books like Neuromancer was that the bad guy wasn't the good ol' USA or whatever government dominated, but rather a large company. I like that, see, it actually conveys a good point and it hasn't been explored to death in games like WW2 has. Also, 3d might be a much better means to achieve an ambience. 2d just can't deal with the insane amount of lights and particles you'd really want for immersion in said ambience. Again, I point you to Nomad Soul. You will say that beneath a steel sky was 2d, I'll tell you it didn't really pull the player into a full blown "ok I'm in the year 2500" mood. This is just my 2 cents. You'll really be better off looking for a 3d app. And even a supernatural villain is better than just the government, it's just too obvious IMO.
