Project Pokémon [Mobile][2020-22] A Roblox game that I played during Lockdown

Post image
38 Upvotes

This is a 3d model of a part of the game I made from memory.

It was a Pokemon game in roblox. The above pic is a section I remember. [Scale not to match+There was no pink pokemon(chancy beside the trainer, just a representation)]

You could jump by the corner of the slope and reach the trainer with the Chancy. He only had 1 pokemon (chancy) which was at 1HP and any damage move would kill it/if you used a status move then also it wont attack you. Upon killing you would get so MANY LEVELS that you would fully evolve the pokemon that killed the Chancy.

I dont remember the name or the bushes but it has that Turn Based fighting system.

I played it on mobile so I wont know if it was available on PC as i didnt have mine at that time period.

I WILL probably not exist on the roblox platform anymore(due to copywrite) but any videos or other people who remember this ROBLOX game?

[PC][~2005] Anime-style Puyo Puyo/Tetris puzzle game

0 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC (Windows)

Genre: Puzzle / Tile-matching (plays like Puyo Puyo or Tetris)

Estimated year of release: Sometime around 2005

Graphics/art style: Definitely had a 2D anime aesthetic. I remember the menus having a dark color scheme, and there were anime-style character portraits.

Notable characters: I can't remember any specific names, just that there was a whole cast of different anime characters you'd face off against.

Notable gameplay mechanics: It had a dedicated arcade or story mode. The core gameplay was basically just battling these other characters in puzzle matches to progress.

Other details: I'm almost positive it was either freeware or shareware. It might have even been one of those obscure titles distributed on an old PC gaming magazine demo disc back in the day. Someone else once posted looking for what seems like the exact same game. I’m not 100% sure it’s the same title, since I don’t remember every detail, but I’m including what he said here just in case:

Coloured blocks fell from the top like Tetris and you matched them by colour to clear them. Clearing blocks sent grey stars with eyes onto the opponent’s side to hinder them. There were character portraits in the middle of the screen and a next-block preview at the top. The blocks and stars themselves also had eyes. The music was calm when there were few blocks on the board and became very fast when the blocks got close to the top. The opponents probably weren’t human, they looked like humanoids or other strange creatures. The playable character was a woman. Any help is appreciated!

What it is NOT: Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles, Irisu Syndrome!, Wankuru, Witching Ihatov, Magical Drop, Vertrix, Puyo Puyo, Raining Blobs, Baku Baku

[Browser][unkown] 2D local multiplayer survival game where players dodge a giant monster in the middle of the room, 4 characters, 3 stages (Toxic Forest, Martian Mansion), title may include “Astro”

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a game I played years ago, probably on a site like Y8 or twoplayergames. I remember the characters and soundtrack vividly but can’t find any info on it anywhere.

Platform / era: Probably a browser game (maybe Flash), played on a shared keyboard. I think I played it sometime in the 2010s, but I’m not certain.

Gameplay: It’s a 2D, top-down survival game for up to 4 players. You move around a single room and try to avoid a big monster in the middle. If it touches you, you’re out. Power-ups spawn in the room, and some help you while others let you sabotage the other players. The last one standing wins.

Characters: Four playable characters. I think they were a muscular man in a red suit, a yellow robot, a woman in blue, and a kid in a green astronaut-style suit.

Stages: Three stages, each with its own monster:

  1. A lab with a big glassy robot as the monster (I don’t remember the stage name)
  2. Toxic Forest: a pink goo monster with tentacles and a sad face
  3. Martian Mansion: a wooden room with a giant vampire in the middle

Any help would be appreciated, even a guess at the developer or the site it was hosted on!

[Mobile?] [2022] Anyone know this game?

1 Upvotes

Recently I remembered this random yandere game but can't find it anywhere. In the game, you are in a dark school at night. You wake up in a classroom (I think) where one of your friends is tied up. The yandere girlfriend enters the room and ends up k1lling the tied up dude (by stabbing I believe), because he had tried to talk to you. She then tells you to stay where you are while she grabs/does something quick. Nothing actually happens until you leave the classroom, where you roam the hallways and avoid being caught. I remember it being a puzzle game where you had to unlock things to be able to proceed. Also that you could hide in lockers (unless she had already seen you). There are multiple different endings as well. I watched playthroughs of this game back in 2022 or early 2023, but now I can't find it at all.

I keep looking up details and am being told that it is "Saiko No Sutoka", but that doesn't match my memory. I know that Saiko has many different versions and modes, but I looked through all of them; none of them matched it exactly for some reason.

I marked it as a mobile game and put 2022 as the header, but it is very likely I'm wrong. Does anyone else remember this?

[Steam] [2026] Aquarium sim game that was running ads all over Reddit these past few months

1 Upvotes

I’m big into fishkeeping and really wanted to download the game when it released, but I forgot to add it to my Steam wishlist. I know I saved the ads on my previous account but I had to nuke that account due to harassment (Reddit is awesome). This account is largely a throwaway, so Reddit doesn’t know I like fish and I don’t get the ads…

ETA: It was freshwater fish tank simulator specifically

So does anyone know what game this was?

Okay so I played this game on another old friend's PC via parsec back in 2024, it was basically this party game where you built your towns and competed against each other by I think conquering each others settlements or something? I can't fully remember the gameplay loop

There were different characters you could play, and there was an option for coop as well I believe

Does anybody know what this game is?

Would love to play it with my friends sometime in the future.

[Android][Unknown year, possibly 2010s–2020s] Minecraft-like mobile game with a Christmas adventure, Santa, zombies, and a village

1 Upvotes

Platform(s): Android mobile

Genre: First-person, 3D sandbox/adventure game

Estimated year of release: Unknown. I played it sometime during my childhood, but I can't remember when. Could be from the 2010s or later.

Graphics/art style: Almost identical to Minecraft. Blocky 3D graphics, first-person perspective. The graphics were better than Block Story, which I've already checked.

Notable characters: Santa Claus (or a character I remember as Santa), villagers, zombies, and creatures that I remember as Endermen.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

  • Riding a pig using a carrot on a stick.
  • Exploring areas and receiving missions from NPCs.
  • Fighting enemies.
  • Riding a boat with a villager or another NPC to reach a town.
  • Riding a minecart on tracks that were already built.
  • Possibly jumping across lava.

Other details:

I'm trying to find an Android game I played years ago, and I've been searching for it for a long time.

I remember the game seeming to start in a Christmas-themed or snowy area, although I'm not completely sure.

I remember finding a house with Santa inside. I think he told me to kill zombies in the backyard, and I remember actually fighting them there.

Later, I remember riding a boat with a villager or another NPC to a town. The town was no longer snowy or Christmas-themed; it looked like a normal village. I remember encountering Endermen or something very similar, and I think the NPC told me to fight them.

There was also a minecart section with tracks that were already built. I vaguely remember a part involving lava that you had to jump across, but I'm not certain about that memory.

I also vaguely remember seeing some Asian-looking text, possibly Chinese, somewhere in the game. I'm not sure if it was on the main menu, in-game, or part of the developer's branding.

Important: This was a separate mobile game, NOT Minecraft itself and NOT Block Story. I already checked Block Story and some other suggested games, and they weren't it.

I found another Reddit post describing a Minecraft clone with a winter area, Santa, and a seaside village. That person's description sounded very similar to my memories, but the gameplay video suggested in that discussion was NOT the game I'm looking for.

Does anyone remember a Minecraft-like Android game with this kind of adventure or quest sequence? Even an old screenshot, app icon, Chinese title, or archived gameplay video would be helpful. I'm starting to wonder if it was removed from the Play Store.

[PC][2008-2012] Game I’ve been searching for, more info down below

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I saw several old games on YouTube and Reddit, on Wii/Wii U and PS2, and I remembered 2 games that I used to play when I was little on my mom’s laptop whose names I’ve forgotten, because I tried to search for them and I can’t find them anymore. One was an application (the first game I’ll describe; I don’t know if it was only on PC or also had a console version, or if it was also in the browser), which I’ll describe below, and the other one in a different post.

The first one (its own application): It was an old racing game with hoverboards. The characters, if I remember correctly, looked the same, and there wasn’t any special animation for jumping. I can’t say whether there was drifting, because I was very little and didn’t know about that; I just slowed down and then started again when taking sharp turns, but the game’s AI was very simple and I always won, even if I kept slowing down. The characters were pretty much the same, but different colors. I don’t remember anything else, but it seems like it was around the time when uTorrent was the most popular, because my mom played a very old online rummy game (and my grandpa played a betting game, without real money, which was green and had a clover as its logo—it was online and multiplayer). I can’t say for sure if the game had online or multiplayer because I was too little to play with anyone else (I’d say around 10–14 years ago?).

I’ll post about the other game in a different post.

I asked AI and I wasn’t able to find any of the games listed. If you all have more luck or know the games I’m talking about, please help me.

Thanks in advance.

[android][2020/2024?] Scary text stories

1 Upvotes

Hello

Lately, I’ve been looking for some good horror games. It reminded me of a game where you “write” messages in an app while playing out different scenarios. There were a few horror games, but there were also some with romance and slice-of-life elements. I remember that one scenario was a chat among friends where one of them found a girlfriend. When he sends a photo, we see her differently. There were two endings. Either we’re nice to her and she turns us into a creature like herself, or our friend gets offended that we don’t trust her, and we get kicked out of the group chat. The second scenario was that our friend starts having lucid dreams, and we’re her link to the world. The dream quickly turns into a horror story and a childhood trauma. Just when she thinks she’s back, she takes a photo of herself and it turns out she’s still asleep. And now I’ve scoured the entire Google Play store. It’s gone. Like a stone thrown into water. I can’t find it. Does anyone recognize this mobile game? I have an Android.

[PS1] [1999] Japanese anime-style visual novel / adventure game, multiple stories across different time periods, antique pendulum clock on the cover and menu

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a game I owned as a kid in Brazil. I got my PS1 in 1999 (it was modded, so the disc was most likely a pirated copy), which means the game was probably released between 1995 and 1999.

What I remember:

- Japanese-only game. I couldn't read anything, so I just clicked around randomly.

- It played like a digital book or visual novel: text-based, with choices in dialogues and branching paths through anime-style still images.

- No voice acting, as far as I remember. Just text, a soundtrack and stills.

- Heavy anime art style with beautiful backgrounds, and a lot of fan service (large-chested female characters, somewhat sexualized designs).

- The stories seemed to be interwoven across different time periods or settings: a village, a modern apartment, and a princess in a war setting.

- The cover and main menu featured an old pendulum clock, drawn in an ethereal style. The dominant color was blue.

What I've ruled out: Kuon no Kizuna (checked, not it) and Clock Tower (wrong style).

Any help is appreciated, even a guess. I can also try to answer questions about details I might remember better.

[PC][2008-2012] Childhood game I forgot about

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I saw several old games on YouTube and Reddit, on Wii/Wii U and PS2, and I remembered 2 games that I used to play when I was little on my mom’s laptop whose names I’ve forgotten, because I tried to search for them and I can’t find them anymore. I spoke about the first in another post, so I’ll talk about the other one(it was a browser game).

I know I first played it at school in the browser, then I started playing it at home constantly. It was online single-player, racing, with unique characters, some Halloween-themed, others futuristic. I know you couldn’t change the driver. Each car had its own driver. I know for sure there was an American-style bus that was possessed, and now that I’m older I realize it had its own map: a Halloween one, with mud to make you go slower, and besides that I also know for sure there was a futuristic car, which was a big wheel with a driver inside (something similar to Wolfenstein, but everything was digital. You couldn’t see the driver in this car. I don’t remember anymore if the driver was a robot or pure AI, but I know it was the fastest car, and I always used it, and it had its own map, one that had entire straight sections, and a few shortcut sections where, if you had this car on its own map, you had to stop often because the shortcut was very narrow and you could easily fall (as I said, I didn’t know about drifting back then, so that’s possibly why I fell off the map so often). I know there was also a tournament mode, in which you went through all the maps, and this digital map was the last one. I know there were items used, but I don’t remember what they looked like, what they did, or whether there was a specific theme.

I asked AI and I wasn’t able to find any of the games listed. If you all have more luck or know the games I’m talking about, please help me.

Thanks in advance.

[PS2][Unknown] Open-world 3rd person police game, crosshair turns green on innocents and red on criminals

4 Upvotes

Okay, I'll tell you the whole game from the best of my memory.

In short;

The game begins with the player waking up in a house. I don't remember exactly what the house looked like, but I know the house were white, there was a swimming pool, and a garage with a car inside.

The player leaves his house and then goes to the police station and finds a man in front of a computer. The man was looking at the computer, but when the hero entered, he took his eyes off the computer and looked at the hero and started to talk a little. He was speaking in English, and at that time I did not know English, as I was a child (I am an Arab, not English, and until now I do not speak English well. I am speaking here entirely through translation, I will not lie to you, haha). Anyway, the man started to talk and then pointed to a room and told the player to enter it.

The player entered the room and found—well, how should I put it—practice, practice, specifically with the pistol. The room contained some wooden boards that were clearly designed for shooting practice; this was evident from their shape. All the player did was walk around the room and shoot at these boards.

The player completed the first task, which was practicing with that pistol, and then went out, only to find that outside there was a criminal inside a red car who was running away. The player and the rest of the police entered the police cars and began to chase the man inside the red car. As a player, you should only not lose the man; you should only chase him. That's all you should do. You shouldn't kill him, for example, or shoot him because that's pointless. Believe me, I tried to destroy the car. The important thing is.

After that chase, my memory faded. I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that the red car was destroyed and the criminal escaped down the alley. You, the player, were holding your gun and running after the criminal, chasing him down the alley. And well, that's where the mission ended.

The city in the game had no police, but as you started completing missions, the police began to appear. I honestly don't know if they appeared suddenly after a certain mission or gradually, as I was just a child. But what I do know is that the city was without police, and that the police would appear once you started completing missions.

Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the aiming indicator in this game was different from the aiming indicator in other games. In other games, the aiming indicator turns red if it hits the target, no matter where the target is—a bad citizen, for example—it turns red. But in the game I want, the indicator turns green if it hits an innocent citizen who hasn't done anything wrong. If you shoot this citizen, they run away. But if the aiming indicator hits a criminal, it turns red. And if you shoot and kill them, they usually pull out a weapon and fight you—they're truly evil. You could say you have a compass that lets you distinguish between good and evil. The aiming indicator turns green with peaceful citizens, but with bad villains, it turns red.

I remember in my childhood I had a strange habit: I would walk down the street and point a target at people. If their target was red, I would kill them; if it was green, I would let them go. I don't know why I did this, but I did it.

The game is available on PlayStation 2.

Well, I hope I haven't made a mistake in describing the game to you, and thank you...

Mondo Medicals [PC] [2010-2017?] Indie psychological horror about mental health and exploring a maze / spiral ?

Post image
62 Upvotes

[Edit : found by Coolboyyo in the comments !

It's Mondo Medicals !]

Hello !

I am looking for a game I remember playing on Steam on my older brother's computer when I was young.

(It's not Moirai btw !)

Please see picture attached + text

- 2010-2017 ? Maybe before 2010 but I doubt it. + It might not have been steam but in my memory this is where I found it, in my brother's game library. [IT'S 2007 !]

- Very simple game, french or english language. 3D / Fake 3D first person pov + I don't think you could really move the camera. [You CAN move the camera ! And it's real 3D !]

- Artstyle was VERY simple. The sprites were simple pixel art (kinda like in the Moirai game) stretched to look big.

- Color palette : Black, White, grey, skin tones, Maybe red if there was blood ?

- Scary game, potentially psychological horror ? The theme definitely had something to do with mental health, maybe mental illness ? Maybe memories ? [The theme is related to Cancer]

- Dialogs or not ? Maybe the dialog was just the text next to the character's heads. Maybe it was voice-acted but I doubt it...

- Not much violence or combat but I think it involved a chase sequence ?

- The game was composed of multiple scenes / chapters... I mostly remember the ones where you explore big spiral mazes and find random characters...

- It was on steam I think. But it was very indie looking.

- Not a lot of music. Maybe footsteps when you walked ?...

- I remember most characters being men and I really think there was a doctor amongst them... But I feel like I remember women sprites as well... [The character are simple humanoids wearing screens for their heads, sometimes it's a face showing on their screen]

- Not shown too much in my sketches but sometimes you were in the dark I think.

This is all I can remember. If you have any idea, don't hesitate ! ❤️

+ I asked my brother and he doesn't remember it + we can't find the game in his game library... Which is why it's strange. Was it just a random itch.io game ? Maybe a gamejam game ?

The Blob (PC) [PC] [2008-2013?]: • Identifying a game where you roll a blob/creature, gobble colourless (people?) up, and change them into bright colours.

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find the name of a game i used to play with my brother. I recently looked up de blob, and while the concept is similar it’s not quite the right match.

In the game I'm remembering, you control a giant blob or creature that rolls around and gobbles up people or creatures, turning into one solid colour. However, unlike de Blob, the creature wasn't super active, like it didn't really jump around, sprint or smash into things dynamically. It had a much more passive vibe. I remember me and my brother used a joystick to control the thing. The background of the game was greyish and only the creature was coloured. The game was 3D.

I could be wrong in quite a few of the details. Thanks.

Boing Boing Animals [PC][2026?] Cozy Kawaii Internet Sim

3 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC, specifically Steam

Genre: Cozy indie game, possibly a management sim

Estimated year of release: 2026, possibly unreleased

Graphics/art style: 8-bit, pastel, retro kawaii vibes

Notable characters: None?

Notable gameplay mechanics: Game is set up as if browsing internet pages

Other details: Okay so I saw a steam ad for this game on reddit sometime earlier this year, though I'm unsure whether it has been released or not. For the life of me I cannot remember the premise but I know you could browse a fake pastel pixelated internet set sometime in the 90s or early 2000s. There may have been some management elements and I'm almost positive there was a Tamagotchi (or copyright-friendly version of one) in one of the ad pictures. It may have been set in Japan but I am also unsure about that. Honestly I just want to find out what game it is so I can add it to my Steam wishlist! Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! :)
