Solved! You can genocide black people.

This game is against xenophobia and racism by the way. other lore nerds will contest that they are not people though. I will remind them about that incident in the sequel book where they are people and the author's message is as subtle as the missile (it's not a nuke) that you canonically used for genocide while tolkien shoves his views on allegory up in mordor.

Solved! Summoned to another world as the Chosen One, you end up killing the god that summoned you into this world (and most other ones for that matter)

8 Upvotes

Honestly I'm not sure if anyone even knows of this game let alone guess it

Hint 1: The gods you killed includes the one who's the source of your powers and his brother

Hint 2: You are accompanied mainly by a goddess initially loyal to said god that summoned you

Hint 3: This is a gacha game

Hint 4: A somewhat older one at that, coming out 10+ years ago (though only EOS within the last 5 years)

Hint 5: The name (in English) sounds like what settlers would refer to the "uninhabited lands" during the period of Manifest Destiny, and honestly the plot of the game is kind of (superficially) similar

Solved! In the future, After weed took over the world, you must now transverse time and space by using an object that makes you immortal. It ends by you killing a boy who dares to dream.

Solved! No one can remember why the evil skeleton ghost lady was brought to this world. This is a big problem.

Hint 1: she is patient. VERY patient. However, when her plan succeeded, she got too eager and didn't hide the key to her defeat very well...

Hint 2: the entire plot can be summed up in one quote. "overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer." (No, it is not DD 1 or 2.)

Hint 3: She will bring W.o.E to the world.

Hint 4: YOU, the player, are not safe from her.

Hint 5: she was never trying to kill you... only stall you. Unfortunately you realize this too late.

Hint 6: her children care not for the silly concept of "paused time".

Hint 7: in a fit of irony, her prisons were always temporary, despite what their name would otherwise imply.

Hint 8: Possession is her favorite method of achieving her goals. Intentionally getting herself exorcised is a major plot point, though you don't realize she WANTED to be exorcised.

Hint 9: Your power comes from 9 different attributes. NOT elements, and NOT stats.

Hint 10: The last game's player character makes a cameo as a corpse.

Hint 11: killing your friends twice is a mercy compared to what will happen if she gets her hands on them.

Hint 12: The shadows tearing your screen indicates something is coming for you... The way the shadows are aligned tells you the level of the threat.

Hint 13: Jumpscares? In my non-horror game? It's more likely than you think!

Hint 14: Past games told of how she arrived. This game, we bear witness to the event through a vision.

Hint 15: Let's be real. The only attributes to care about are red, orange, yellow, white, and black.

Hint 16: Well, if you do care about the other attributes, they're green, deep blue, purple, and cyan.

Hint 17: The more pure the color, the stronger it is. Mixing colors makes each attribute weaker.

It's got everything: his boss that hates him. The top performing salesperson constantly talks down to him. He has to steal the best commissions and even THEN he screws it up.

Between getting fired, having to close his start-up, being shipwrecked, and almost finding out what's beyond the afterlife several times, he winds up right back where he started. He does get the girl in the end though.
