A quick idea I had that I jotted down real quick and am now posting.
“Arguing With (Deadly) Brick Walls”
The Doctor (and companions) travel to an odd, almost labyrinthine planet where they discover a very interesting creature indeed: Lifeforms that can meld into walls, floors, and ceilings at will (think Zelda: A Link Between Worlds). Unfortunately, these aliens, named “Shikata,” aren’t very friendly, and intend on pulling our heroes into the walls, trapping them inside a 2d plane of existence, possibly forever. Of course, The Doctor being The Doctor, they get lost in the mind-bending, reality altering labyrinth, and must find their way back to the TARDIS quickly, before they lose access to the 3rd dimension to the Shikata.
Notes: Fun fact, the Shikata are named after the fellow who directed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the game that inspired them. The guy’s name is “Hiromasa Shikata.” Irrelevant to everything, I know, but whatever. I left The Doctor’s reasons for going to this as-of-yet unnamed planet up to the GM, because accessibility is cool. Maybe there’s a macguffin lying about somewhere that The Doctor needed. Idk, I’m not your mom, make up your own mind. Btw, when I’m describing the labyrinth, imagine that one part of the film Labyrinth where stairs are on the ceiling and stuff, because it will give the Shikata plenty of creative movement choices (and also its just plain cool).
What do you think? Is it a good idea? Any feedback or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch for reading!

It's a little like the Boneless and Flatline, not that that's a bad thing - my favourite episode of Capaldi's first series by a mile. I like the bizarre nature of the danger. It makes it less easy for players to define, and the unknown or inexplicable is always more scary.
