Something a bit different? (Patreon)

I had this idea as a way to kind of spark a little creativity, but it's not the normal kind of process I would do. Here's the setup:
A popular video game has recently gotten a new patch. The patch includes more intelligent AI in regards to NPC's (non playable characters). This upgrade however, makes one of the NPC's far more self-aware. She's a forest elf who would normally just give you a map to navigate the woods and would also serve as the reset mechanic for said forest. With the update though, she sees all these humans materialize in her world, then change into whatever character they design, then, start on quests which ruin her homeland. After months of this, the elf comes up with an idea. Now, when characters are about to enter the forest, she gives a map, and a special crystal. Initially, nothing changes. Once you log off the game however, the crystal begins to work.
Rather than a long, drawn out transformation, the player finds that, within a minute of logging off, their body in the real world matches exactly their character in the game. Thing is, there's no reality shift for the world. The only thing that changes are whatever clothes you have on at that moment (assuming the character you turn into would wear clothes that is).
Here's where I'm not sure whether or not people would enjoy this concept. Rather than focusing on the transformation aspect, I'd focus on the quality of life after the transformation. If a particular model is popular, maybe I'd go back and do a quick transformation sequence and also show what they looked like before. Maybe do an OC comparison with measurements and stuff.
Here's my question: Does this sound appealing to y'all?
