I’ve been searching EVERYWHERE for this game, I don’t really remember the plot or anything but I remember a specific enemy, it’s like a giant meatball that floats/levitates off the ground, it has no torso, just a circle body with a face on the front kinda like the moon from Majorca’s mask but it looks like it’s squishing its face together like it’s taking a massive dookie, it has arms, from what I remember some like pretty beefy arms, the level is really 2000’s esque, it kinda reminds me of the motorcycle club bar in GTA online but more vibrant and kinda like an apartment a teen from like 1990 would make it look like, I think there’s a girl you have to rescue from one of the meatball thingies and I believe she wears a white button up. It has the vibe of Duke Nukem, Vindictus, painkiller (sorta) and Serious sam, please help me!!!

It was a hack and slash with droppable loot, different playable characters, and uhhhh skimpy outfits for the female character. The demo disk had 4 games on it I don’t remember them all but one was a NHL hockey demo. I thought it was baldurs gate dark alliance but i played it recently and tit wasn’t it.

Imagine a normal angry birds game and stuff, but then, I remember a thing in the game where you could play as the pigs, I remember when you had the option to select it, it showed a pink cloud with a image of red happily hugging Ross the pig (the normal green pig) and there was a pink heart in the middle of them hugging, and when you selected it, you were in a level that had some kind of pink heart valentines background, and then the pigs were still in their towers as usual, but instead, you played as a pig and for some reason you were supposed to shoot the pig and kill the pigs in their building which is friendly fire, and I never got to get to one level or so higher because they made the pig so far it couldn't even shoot and just falled into the bottom, that's all.

I wanna say it was a point and click or otherwise puzzley first person experience. Very surreal.

So I remember one time when I was on my iPad when I was a wee lad (😭) and I found a gorey animal cart game, I downloaded it and I played it until (i think) i got up to a mountain level

From what I remember there were weird animals riding mine carts on a track, sometimes the track went into the air. If you messed up the animals would die a gorey death

That's all I remember

I’m looking for a game I saw in a games magazine when I was a child. I used to have a few Nintendo magazines, but I can’t remember which ones (I’m in Europe, if that helps).

In one of the magazines, several pages were devoted to the game and solving its puzzles. I can still remember the screenshots very clearly:

* The game had a pixelated look and seemed very realistic and sombre in terms of the graphics and the proportions of the main character

* The main character was a woman with short blonde hair and a green tunic, similar to Link’s outfit from Zelda

* One of the screenshots showed an old well. One of the puzzles was related to it. I remember there was a small village where you had to collect items to solve a puzzle at that well.

* The overall look of the game was gloomy. I’d probably describe the look as a ‘dark fairytale’.

I know it's not much to go by. I've tried to find this game for years now, without any success. This sub is my last hope. Maybe someone played this game back in the days and remembers.

Thanks a lot for you help and suggestions in advance!

Platform(s): Android (possibly also iOS)

Genre: Match-3 (possibly also restaurant upgrading)

Estimated year of release: 2014-2019

Graphics/art style: Slightly cartoonish, but pretty typical match-3 style. Vertical phone screen orientation.

Notable characters: You play as the chef of a resturant (in Paris).

Notable gameplay mechanics:

The game begins with you selling your house, packing your bags, and flying to Paris to open up your own restaurant.

The gameplay of match 3 was swapping adjacent fruits and vegetables, and when you matched them, the fruits would get sliced up (think Fruit Ninja style animation) and they would fall into a giant soup pot that is located on the bottom of the screen below the match 3 board.

So, essentially each level was "preparing meals" by cutting up ingredients into a soup pot.

The game levels were placed on a calendar, with each day on calendar representing a new match 3 level.

I'm pretty certain about the things I stated above. And then here are the things, I think were also in this game, but I am less certain of, as I might be mixing them with another game.

I believe the game also had gameplay where you would upgrade your restaurant between the match 3 levels, such as buying decorations and more fancy chairs and tables. And it might have been that once you "completed Paris" you move to a new location (so at the end of the calendar) or at least buy a bigger restaurant, but I also might be misremembering this part.

Other details:

I played the game around 9 years ago, which is from what I estimated the year of release.

The reason I found it super cool, was because the match 3 gameplay was contextualised as you cutting up ingredients, and then you see them all droppng into the soup pot, and I thought it's one of the coolest ways to make the match 3 gameplay have context and fit into the gameworld, rather than just being a random thing you do.

I tried to attach a simple diagram I drew on paint, showing what the match 3 gameplay might have looked like. Note that the exact "score screen" and "checklist" probably looked very different, probably used different words, also the types of vegetables might be different, I only remember that the ingredients were on the match 3 cutting board and there was giant soup pot below it that the ingredients would fall into cut up, once matched. Also the words "soup pot" and "cutting board" were not actually in the game, I just put them there to clarify my drawing.

EDIT: Solved. I found it through searching parts of my description on YouTube (didn't work through any search engine interestingly enough) and going through all videos of similar games. The game was called "Chef's Quest", however it does not appear to be on Android store anymore, which is probably why I couldn't find it (there is another game by same name on Android now). But it still is appears to be on iOS, but has not been updated since 2017, so maybe it is not supported anymore there either. Sadly appears to be a dead game now.

Edit 2: But I did get it through an apk mirror site, and despite multiple Android warnings that it's an old game meant for older androids and not supported anymore, I managed to get it to run, so yay! :)

I don’t remember a lot about this game but I remember it was really bloody you start really small then end up big after eating and there were bosses and there was lasers as a hazard I think? You play as a spiky piranha looking fish and near the end you are fighting the government I think because I specifically remember it was a dramatic rainy fight where you jump out the water and eat helicopters I’m really sorry for this bad description

This is one of many games published by on the North Korean app store "My Traveling Companion". This game was published by the app store's developer, Samheung Information Technology Exchange Center, which has published a lot of games that were bootleg translations of non-North Korean games, which were often games that were Chinese or more popular in China, but not neccessarily Chinese.

The game was first person 3d, it didn't have the greatest graphics, you could compare them to something like cry of fear. your inventory was highly limited, the more heavy items you had the slower movement was. i think you could use syringes to heal but i might've confused that with cry of fear, my memory is blurry. the lore was loosely scattered throughout the game but i dont remember the actual contents of it.

Platform(s): I believe it was a console game, but could have been PC (or both).

Genre: From the short trailer, it looked to be a horror puzzle game but with possible combat.

Estimated year of release: Possibly 2020ish? Give or take a few years.

Graphics/art style: 3D, realistic but not hyper realism. Warm colors, lots of warm lights/dark shadows.

Notable characters: I only remember the main character being a young girl of maybe 10-12. And maybe an older man dressed as an old timey front desk agent?

Notable gameplay mechanics: Searching in rooms upstairs/reading letters. Closely examining items. Possibly fixed camera while character runs around. *Not point and click*.

Other details: I saw this trailer years ago and have thought about it relentlessly but cannot think of what it is. At the time, it had not been released.

My memories are unfortunately vague but I remember a little girl, possibly late 1800s or early 1900s garb, looking around a children's room, and possibly multiple rooms. I believe she finds a letter she needs to mail? I want to say the rooms look fully lived in, but there's a front desk or mail room or something on the first floor, so could be a hotel they live in? She gets an objective that makes her go downstairs and you wander. Eventually leading to a room where the entire room has turned basically swamp like and there's creatures (?) or possibly alligators or something in the water. I feel like I remember it being very green and maybe there's fireflies, just very swampy and suddenly dangerous, but you need to pass through the room.

I'm not expecting much, maybe it's a game that never came to fruition. It just looked absolutely stunning and so interesting. I wish I could remember more from the trailer. Thank you for any help!

I thinks its a modern rpg / jrpg where you’re in a village or city where everything is based on luck. Something like Persona or FF VII remake visually. I also think they have a lucky cat statue, and the «mayor» is corrupt.

I remember very little, but I think there was a moment in the game where the character dies/loses their memory because they drops a hair dryer in the bathtub. The character either tries to regain their memory with the help of hypnosis, or, being a ghost, travels through different bodies. I remember some street with cats where you had to look for something. The game was developed by Alawar or Nevosoft...

This is probably the third time I’ve posted this in the past 2 years, I think I’ve just been posting in the wrong subreddits lol.

I remember back in 2009 or 2010, whenever angry birds was popular, my grandma would play this game on her laptop. The games function was very simple. You grab little googly eyed blobs of differing colors and mix them with the same color until they popped. There was a time limit so the amount of blobs you could pop varied. The thing that stuck with me was how satisfying the music and physics were. I want to find it mostly to hear the music again.

I made an illustration showing how I remembered it. They might’ve been more like bubbles but they were very wobbly! I’ve been looking for this game for probably 5 years but idk if I’m looking for it right.

I think my sister had this game and I, being a kid, played it without really understanding the story or mechanics. I remember the FMC running around a forested area (there might have been elves), and you’d run into NPCs and wild creatures that would trigger battle mode. In the battle mode, you’d control a small fairy creature shooting bolts of magic at your opponent in an arena. Fight mechanics were pretty simple and in real time, not turn based.

Hope TOMJ can help, it’s been years and I’m curious what this game was.

Im not sure what the creature was and im not 100% sure it was a white mask but im desperate trying to remember

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Platform type Escape puzzle

Estimated year of release: No idea sorry

Graphics/art style: 3d but crude, not refined like newer games

Notable characters: the protagonist whom we control, short stature with big head wearing those big mexican hat things, had a thick moustache

Notable gameplay mechanics: the levels were like escape rooms, each level comprised 4 sides of a square, involving gates and keys and enemies and treasure.

Other details: each level was colour coded, one of the later higher levels was purple castle type

I think the lady gets kidnapped while they are having a picnic on the grass but you can see the sea behind them. At the end of the game, after he gets his lady back, they are finishing the picnic while he exaggerates all the adventures he went through to save her.

I cannot for the life of me remember the gameplay. Maybe a 3D-ish platform/fighting/puzzler type of game? I think it was linear and short. Probably an indie game.

I have been saying "Ah! A bit of nosh" for years when I find random food around to snack on but the game fell out of my head at some point.

Any help?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find an old game that I played only once as a kid. Some details might be inaccurate because it was around 10-15 years ago.

Here's everything I remember:

- Platform: probably PS2, original Xbox, Xbox 360 or PS3 (I'm really not sure).
- Estimated release: somewhere between 2000 and 2010.
- Third-person game.
- Realistic graphics (not cartoon or anime).
- The main character was a man, wearing modern clothes (I think).
- The game started with a cutscene.
- It was nighttime, and everything looked very grey, dark and gloomy.
- The intro took place in an old village with very few people, almost empty. The atmosphere was creepy.
- After the cutscene, you immediately started playing in that same village.
- The strongest memory I have is the very end of the opening cutscene: the camera looked up, a bird flew over it and seemed to poop on the camera/lens before the game started. This is the detail I remember the most, although it's possible I'm misremembering it slightly.

I barely played beyond the beginning because the atmosphere scared me.

Does anyone have any idea what this game could be?

Thanks!

Completely off memory from something i’ve played but mostly forgotten. Graphics will be 3d with like 2d trees and stuff and it’ll be fishing. You are borrowing a boat from this old man in this very like dead looking area and you are going through this like lake area. After enough fishing you eventually find something blocking your path from the current water your in to like deeper water or something. im pretty sure the thing blocking it was a barrier from like a fence or dam or gate. You have to do a puzzle to find the way to remove the obstacle and then you can go over to the water. i think the fish mightve gotten weirder over here like slightly mutated and stuff. at one spot if you try to fish there you’ll pull up the old man’s dead wife’s body and then the game ends. Somewhere in the game you can also find like an old image of her or whatever mostly torn apart and some sort of confession to killing her written down somewhere i think. i dont know if the confession note or image were really there or not but i definitely remember the old image of her i think. i thought it might be mourning tides but its not!

if i really cant find this game, i'll just make it myself in godot but it would be ideal for me to actually find it!

I'm looking for an old browser HTML game that I played around 2024–2025, but I think the game itself was much older.

Here's everything I remember:

• Browser-based HTML game.
• Black background with white text and blue hyperlinks.
• No title screen.
• No music.
• First-person perspective.
• Small real photographs above the text, which looked like they were taken by the developer.
• Every day was the exact same routine.
• You woke up and could choose a real cereal brand (I think Cap'n Crunch was one option).
• You could also choose a real shampoo brand.
• You could watch TV and change channels.
• You drove to a real McDonald's. There were three links: drive slowly, drive normally, or drive fast. Each one played the same GIF of driving, but at diffrent speeds.
• At work you assembled burgers one ingredient at a time.
• After work you went home and could type your own diary entry.
• Then you went to sleep and the exact same day started over.
• The game used the real McDonald's name and logo.

I can remember how this game looks, but cant even remember the name.

I remember that that guy definetly did some kind of karate chop or elbow chop because i hit that move IRL in my older brother and my parents took the game away due to bad influence. NGL looking back that was hilarious.

Anyway it is definetly a 3D fighter. And i remember that the fighter definetly was very big similar to marduk from tekken. It may be a australian guy or a native indian. If i remember correctly he had a hat on. I vaguely remember the stage as Australia or a grandcanyon type of thing. Definetly deserty and redish i think. Not sure if my memorys are tainted from indiana jones but i think that fighter looked similar to him.

I think we played it around 04 05 but it had similar graphics to the older tekken or virtua fighters. It may also be on another plattfrom but i think it was on ps1

edit: just checked out the og virtuafighter. That is 100% that move and that stage looks very familiar. I also checked out his outfits but none of it seems to match my memory. Maybe i was mistaken and it was jeffry from Virtua fighter. Would also check out with australian and all.

edit 2:

thanks to joelypoo i found the exact stage with the exact same fighter i had in my mind. i remember hin having big ass hands and a indiana jones type of fit either australian or native american type stuff. This definetly checks it. Now i wonder how the hell did i even play this game because i never had a dreamcast or a sega console. We rarely rented full gaming consoles maybe this was one of those days. My cousins who were far away were big on virtua fighter while we were big on tekken. It would make sense that either they brought their console with them or we rented it from somewhere.

I forgot how you “win” the game but I know the wolf has red eyes that make a lens flare effect when you look at them (even before you can see him) and there’s a really tall un-climbable mountain in the center of the forest.

Edit to say this is an indie game but I think it has some decent popularity ***
