I had a random game idea, I fear I'll sound like Peter Molydeux but here it goes:

You are a very famous thief in the city, and you can't wait to attack the next museum to steal all the goods! There are a lot of security guards protecting the loot, but fortunately you have some stealth skills and if needed, you can shoot them with your shock gun to paralyze them without great harm. The only downside? You are a human, and you can't carry everything inside your bag!

Basically, it's a mix of stealth game with puzzle elements. You control a thief inside an art museum to steal all the rare jewels, sculptures and paintings and leave the building from a predetermined exit in the shortest time possible for a lot of points. You get a star ranking depending on how well you completed the level.

The twist is, you cannot carry everything in your bag at once; only 5 may be inside the bag at a time. Also, like if that wasn't enough, some items are heavy, which makes your movement slower and with poorer reaction time. You can drop items at any time to make the bag lighter, regaining the speed. You can then recollect them at another time, adding a strategy factor. though, items left behind can be picked up by guards and carried to their original places, hindering your progress. Also, jumping from a high place or mishandling the bag may break and destroy your loot, lowering your score.

You can shoot enemies with a shock gun. It doesn't kill the guards, and they will regain their senses after a time. There are items you can pick up to help you in the way.
