The Mormon game concept is a good one. As a former and still somewhat Friend (Quaker), I can relate to the concept of "no good deed going unpunished." One can see the humor, irony, playability and enjoyment of it in a video game done well. As Mormon themed it would have limited reach but it would have dedicated followers. The TTRPG "Dogs in the Vineyard" is outstanding for what it is, has limited reach in RPG circles, but it does have a dedicated player base.
The game concept is something I would play. It would fit well in any setting historical or fictional. A half-dozen elves trying to bring sensibility among Orcish chiefdoms guided by an avatar of Illuvar. A unmodified human among the transhuman houses of the galactic empire trying to re-cultivate aspects of humanity guided by an enigmatic Foundation, etc.
Regarding "Monkey Town," you might like Keith Laumer's book "The Other Side of Time." It starts off slowly, is all over the place, but has an alternate universe with several sapient primate species working together.
