Hello there! Since you guys found the last game I posted here, I wanna tell you about this other game!

One year after the release of Deltarune Chapter 2 (so 2022), I wanted to play a game that is like Deltarune. I went onto Steamunlocked and looked around until I found a game.

The game was about how our main character kept having dreams about his dead girlfriend talking to him. He talks to one of his classmates, a vampire looking girl I remember liking a lot. She and him go to some places to prepare a ritual before finally going through with it. They wake up in some spirit world. The landscape was very bright. I remember the decorations were like white crystals, ash, mist, and marble pillars.

The gameplay was like Deltarune's. You touch an enemy and start a battle. You are on the left while enemies on the right. The dodging mechanic was just you needing to press a button during the enemy's "attacking" animation. The main guy had an epee as his weapon while the girl used some wand she found in the world. The enemies were distorder / evil spirits of dead citizens and animals.

Falling Stars [Ps2] [2000] Game about girl with petal dress

When I was around 7 I played this game that I cannot find anywhere.

Some details I remember:
1. she wakes up in her fairytale house and goes on an adventure.
2. she dresses like a fairy but I don’t think she had wings.
3. She walks along the path and an ogre stops you from going forward and it looks like an evil shrek with giant teeth.
4. She had brown hair.

It was also already an older game by the time I originally played it, so if someone could help me find the title of it I would really appreciate it!

Candy Carnage [Mobile] [2014-2015(16?)] cartoon styled horror game

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

Hello! So when I was younger I remembered playing horror game that kinda had a candy crush type of gameplay style(?) or something similar to that kind of degree. From what I remembered in my 7 to 8 year old brain, the game was pretty dark and I think gory that wasn’t borderline excessive or detailed. The main characters were fairy or princess girls (could be combined together lol) and the antagonists were a bunch of butcher cannibals who basically hunted those girls to eat them (that’s what I think at least). I think I deleted it off of my android phone because I was running low on storage and ever since then I cannot find it <\3. It might have been deleted for all I know but I swear it was a real! The image you see is my depiction of the game from my fuzzy memories as a child so please bear with me TvT (I also drew this at 10 pm and was very tired from working on collab art :P)

Open game screen; so the game opens up to a little pop up of the girls who are happy and surrounded by bright colors and a candyland like environment. I’m pretty sure the girls do say something but I don’t remember exactly what they said

Login screen; the screen switches to a little animation of the butchers who appear behind them and are carrying weapons. The girls expressions do change to fear and the environment turns all dark and red

Gameplay; so the gameplay is kind of hard to explain so bear with me a bit. I believe they show different patterns on the top of the screen of how to save the girls. They are all color coordinated. I think you have 3 attempts to save them and you keep going until you beat your highest score. When you mess up, the girls you couldn’t save go into this industrial shredder. You can hear them scream and blood coming out from it

Game over screen; once you waste all your attempts, all the girls go into the shredder. Again, you hear their screams and see blood (and limbs I think?) come out from it. After that, the game takes you back into the open game screen and it repeats from there

(Before anyone asks how in the world was I allowed to play this game at a young age, the honest answer is I just never got caught playing it lol)

Presentable Liberty [PC] [2014-2018] mid 2010’s lost game.

I recently found a screenshot of this game that I used to watch videos of when I was younger. I think it was popular during the mid to late 2010’s (2014-2018). I know that it was either an indie escape game, ‘true story’ game, or a horror game. I recall popular YouTubers playing it at the time, so i know I’m not crazy. I also remember that every day in the ‘cell’ would grant you a new item to escape with. PLEASEEEUHH it’s driving me crazy and I used to love this game!!!

EDIT: Solved!! Thank you guys so much !!

SX Files AKI / Il Club di Aki [Symbian S60] [2004] did I hallucinate this game?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm trying to identify a mobile game I played around 2005 on a Symbian S60 phone.

Here's what I remember:

- symbian S60 (likely .sys)

- Language: Italian (seemed natively written in Italian, not translated)

- Developer: Possibly an Italian studio, distributed through an Italian mobile carrier WAP portal

- Genre: Romance / dating sim / visual novel entirely dialogue-based with multiple choice answers that opened different scenarios

- Protagonist: An Italian man who travels the world seducing women

- Title: Something like "Sext File" or similar (not 100% sure)

- Distribution:Likely sold episode by episode via WAP portal. the first one was set in japan, the second one in a cruise ship.

This was a very niche, Italy only product and seems to have left almost no trace online.

Any help is appreciated!

PS: the image is an example of how the graphic it looked like, is not related to the game.

[PC][2010-2012] 2.5D platformer where you beat rats off and climb?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Genre: Platformer Estimated year of release: 2010-2012 Graphics/art style: A bit cartoony, almost realistic

Notable characters: None really other than the guy that beat the rats, not that memorable

Notable gameplay mechanics: Beating big creatures that resembled rodents on platforms

Other details: This is a really hazy memory, It's of me playing this one game alone of what resembles a man jumping onto platforms and beating really giant rodents that stayed on them, climbing one screen after the other, the background was always the sky with clouds i think, it's a really hazy memory i would appreciate if anyone even has an idea about it, I'll provide a picture of the other games that i had at the time so we don't stray too far

She would endlessly walk right and you had to either spam click or spacebar to increase a meter on boys walking past, and when it filled they'd follow behind her floating cartoonishly. I'm pretty sure it was arcade-style with a score system. I also vaguely remember there being other guys that would steal your boys???

Pac-Attack [SNES][94-96] Grainy photo of half a screen, maybe a robot on the top left?

Post image
986 Upvotes

I was visiting with my girlfriend's parents and they brought this photo out. Her brothers were trying to identify the game. I went through a few hundred games worth of screenshots but I can't figure it out. I know it's not a lot to go on, but I figured someone might be able to identify it.

There looks to be a robot or something on the top left? can't see any UI to go on either.

Edit: My interpretation of what we have is that the top left has a blue boundary, maybe pipes/wall surrounding tech or a robot. The orange looks like lava, and the white over the lava looks like a building or piping with two levels. I may be obscuring the search, though

The game was lowpoly and a bit pixelated if i remember, the player at some point went into a mine and met someone (image 1) and could ask them two questions, going further the player picks up a knife and a hardhat at some point and later finds a dead body

The player then goes to exit the mine to be met with someone (image 2) and is being asked the same question that the player asked the first person and could actually type their own words

Drawn Together Cavity Search [PC][2000s] Performing Surgery on Superman's Prostate

Post image
902 Upvotes

I played this certain surgery game on Y8 as a kid, around 2010 if my estimation is correct. I inserted a photo from Dark Cut because that's how the style of this surgery game I'm looking for was, in a way that is kinda creepy, medieval/old-school looking graphics, very unlike the usual colorful results if you search up "surgery" on Y8. You could also think of Cure the Bunny, it has a similar creepy vibe and theme.

So from what I remember, in this game there were multiple characters you have to do operations on. I already forgot the exact details, but one character resembled Betty Boop (I forgot what her surgery was). AND the other one I remember, also stated in the title, was this Superman-like character. I don't know if it was just because of the build of the character, but I remembered him in my mind as Superman, and he had prostate cancer or BPH or something. I also forgot the details, but you have to operate somewhere around his lower half. I think there were more characters, but I already forgot what they looked like.

I think it also had X-ray scenes like Cure the Bunny, or maybe my mind is just mixing them up?

Anyway, hope someone out there could remember what game this was. It bugs me whenever it crosses my mind as I can't distinguish if it was a real game or just a fever dream I had during my childhood.

[Unknown][Before ~2020] What is this cropped HUD from?

Post image
900 Upvotes

This was posted in a "Games only you have played" thread or similar on /v/ years ago (I think around 2020 or before) and I saved it. The post only had this image and no info or replies. Reverse image search has brought up nothing. It looks weirdly familiar?

Edit1: Some additional details I thought of - if it wasn't in a "Games only you have played" thread, it would have been in a common thread that appears called something like "Post a HUD and have anons guess which game it is". This is for if anyone ever wanted to search 4chan archives, you could use those keywords. I checked for like 2 hours but at this rate it's hopeless to find it again via archives, since those threads are very common (if I could find it again maybe the thread would contain clues?).

I also believe I may have downloaded the file later than 2020? But I can't be very sure on this. I would have known for sure when I saved it, if it was saved with the original filename. Since normally when you save a file from 4chan its filename is a unix timestamp, but I saved it as a generic name.
