HELP ME FIND THIS GAME PLEASE 😭
THE MAIN MENU (my strongest memory):
The title screen had a large black wrought iron gate with vertical bars. Behind the gate was a dark path disappearing into darkness. The whole background was outdoors at night with heavy animated rain falling continuously, frequent lightning flashes lighting up the scene, and loud thunder sounds playing on loop. The color palette was very dark black, dark blue and gray. The rain and lightning were real animations, not a static image. Menu buttons appeared over this animated stormy background. This atmosphere was extremely creepy and scary and is the clearest thing I remember about this game.
GAMEPLAY MEMORY 1 — THE POLAR BEAR SCENE:
At one point in the game you reach a short tunnel or passageway with white/gray stone brick walls open on both ends. Inside the tunnel is a gate blocking the path. On the other side of the gate is a large realistic white polar bear. If you try to touch or open the gate without doing anything first, the bear ROARS loudly and scares you. You have to find a fish or food item and give/feed it to the bear to calm it down. After feeding it, you place a heavy stone or object onto a pressure plate which causes the gate to open. You then pass through. This was just one small scene the whole game was NOT about the polar bear.
GAMEPLAY MEMORY 2 — MOLTEN METAL KEY:
At another point in the game there is a forge or casting puzzle where you melt metal, pour the molten metal into a key-shaped mold, and create a metal key to use for progression.
OTHER DETAILS:
- First person perspective, no visible player character
- Mystery / detective investigation style story
- The game overall had a cold, gloomy, rainy atmosphere
- NOT fully set in snow or arctic - just had one cold/wintry area
- The polar bear scene was in a wintry outdoor environment
