[[PC/Browser][Mid-Late 2010s]] Fairytale themed game

• Upvotes

Ok so I think it was a flash game but I've been scouring flash sites for weeks and I'm starting to think I hallucinated this game existing. I remember it being kind of like a fairytale story theme like there was a princess or she was just a random lady idk but then there was a guy too. And basically the game was you could interact with the background to change the story, I think there was a spot you could plant a tree or flowers that the guy could give to the girl. But I also remember there being things you could do in the game to kill the characters. But then I might be mixing it up with that Netflix game. I think I remember you could have a pond made with ducks or swans in the scene too. I remember it having muted colors like an old storybook. But maybe I am mixing it with the Netflix thing it's just so vivid. Anything is appreciated love y'all.

I need help finding an old android mobile game I played in 2019 2020, I remember it was a game about cars, and there was a selection of maps to choose from, basically a free roam, you could drive a selection of cars, including a 2008 Dodge Charger, a 2014 Audi A4, a pickup truck, an 80’s sedan, and more, there was a delivery play mode aswell, I remember a highway map, and a city type map, I may be mistaken because they might be in one big map though, this game was really fun, but it is no longer available anywhere, and I can’t for the life of me figure out what it was called.

[iOS] [2010-2013] Old Tom & Jerry game on iPad. Top-down, collect cheese, no timer

• Upvotes

I’m trying to find a Tom & Jerry game I played as a kid on the first or second iPad (so roughly 2010-2013).

  • You play as Jerry, walking around and collecting cheese, controlled by dragging a finger
  • Camera is top-down, slightly tilted, like pseudo-3D / isometric, but gameplay is basically 2D
  • Different enemies chase you (not just Tom)
  • Levels get harder and harder, and there was some kind of story
  • No timer

What I already ruled out: Tom & Jerry: Mouse Maze (GlobalFun, platformer-ish, has a timer), Tom & Jerry: Cheese Chase (side view), and Tom & Jerry: Chase.

P.S: I don't have that iPad now, so i can't check history of downloading\buying an app

[Windows] [~1990] Medieval side view puzzle game

• Upvotes

I haven't played that game in so long that I dont even know what year it was. I don't know what version of windows the PC had, but I think the game was on the desktop, or maybe start menu.

The game is pixelated, side view of a medieval character in clothes (i believe) walking left or right, but maybe with some up/down movement (animation would only be left-right). I think it was mostly played with the mouse, and you had about 0 hints of what to do. You needed to explore the scene, find items and guess where you could click to trigger an interaction based on what you'd think the items could be used for.

I remember being stuck on a level (could be the first one, dont remember) where you start on the right, have some dirt path you can walk along of and it leads to a castle wall that you need to find a way to get over. I belive there's a well or hole that allows you to go in an underground scene, but I could be mixing levels.

I remember some of the puzzle solutions to be quite wacky, like maybe you find some rock, that you use to break a branch and use the twig for replacing a broken lever. This exemple is made up but that's the type of logic it could be.

No hints anywhere, nothing to tell you what is clickable until you find it, clicking on something you dont have the right item for will either do nothing, or do something useless (trying to use a broken wooden machine would get some movement out of the machine but then it would clearly stop before it was supposed to if completed - not sure where I'm pulling that from, could be a fake memory).

I was playing the game in Europe, that might be relevant.

Would love to find that game again

[steam] [2020-2025] “ps1 graphic” robot dystopia

• Upvotes

Seriously need help finding this game. It’s an indie game similar in graphics and definitely as eerie and atmospheric as “iron lung”.

The game (in my memory) goes as follows.

You (1st person) are driving down a freeway alone and you become fused with your car after a flash covers the sky. You hop around with a tire and a claw arm thing. Your human body is transfused with the mechanical parts of your vehicle. You eat cans and metal objects to keep energy.

Later on in the game you try to find a “doctor” of some sort to free you from your mechanical body. You eventually are lead to the doctor by a robot acquaintance. The doctor “releases” your friend from his body and a giant mechanical ray gun pulverizes him… (dark I know) anyways. A major part of the game was the ending. In The ending you are walking towards a giant door hopping around holes in the ground. When you just reach the door, you fall into a hole and are stuck. Then the game ends.

I remember watching this either last year or before that on YouTube. It was an unknown YouTuber. Any ideas or insight helps. Thanks

Delivery must complete [PC][2025+]High-energy arcade-y plane game probably not out yet or barely

1 Upvotes

I saw trailers for it about mid 2026 and it looked 90%+ finished.

It was a 3D cellshaded-ish low-visual realism game in a future war where you control a single plane with absolutely insane arcade controls. IIRC you could parry missiles or instanly change directions, boost like x10 your speed and other stuff like that.

I would've sworn it was upcoming on steam and I had it in my wishlist but I can't find it anymore

[ios devices] [unknown] game about cute zombie blending in with humans

1 Upvotes

There’s this game on iPad that me and my older sibling played when I was really little (like early-mid 2010s-ish?) where you played as this cute zombie girl who did her best to live a normal life among humans. I don’t remember the exact art style, but I think it was either simple cartoon or pixelated style. There were mechanics about doing stuff to blend in and earn money I think, like making sure to bathe regularly so you didn’t stink is one I distinctly remember, and I think maybe you had a job. I could be wrong, but I think maybe the player character had light pink hair..? Totally possible im making that up in my brain though. If people got suspicious of you not being human they’d start being scared of you and running away and stuff and I think if you got found out it was game over.

[Friv?/Flash] [2013-2015] Kids game based on squares.

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi, apologies, it’s not the best drawing or title, and this might not be friv even tho I’m so convinced it was. The game, it’s kind of a dark industrial sort of setting. You play as a little square (size reference of your character on the left compared to one of the level enemies) who can fly I think. You have to navigate around these floating enemies who have fixed paths up and down or left and right. I think some of them you move or interact with in different levels. The background colours were very dark ish I think the likes of navy blue and green and burgundy. I think the eyes of the enemy squares would follow you around? I also am pretty sure it had a mean soundtrack. What I drew poorly here might actually be one of the bosses that have free flight to follow you around until your get passed. I remember this big guy shaking whenever I think either he had a temp power boost or your got near him.
Please, pick my brain! I’ll answer any questions to my best capabilities.

[PC] [1995-1999] Educational game for kids focused on learning letters and numbers

1 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC, Windows 95 / 98

Genre: Educational

Estimated year of release: 1990-1999 (i think i under estimated how old it could be in the title)

Graphics/art style: Cartoon style / hand drawn colored? / not overly silly, for kids probably aged 3-5

Notable characters: female narrator

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game featured two primary scenes, a keyboard and a cash register. You swapped between them, only one could fit the screen at a time. Clicking on letters or numbers would have a voice say the letter or number followed by a description and animation. NOTABLE descriptions include:

  • for the letter W: "Worms wiggle"

  • for the letter O: an orangutan

Other details: It wasnt a very expansive game. I think all it featured was these two scenes of the keyboard and cash register. Not a whole story or campaign really. It was not a jumpstart school, reader rabbit, or putt putt themed game, it felt like a one-off educational game that may be lost to time, but it's a core memory of mine

This was maybe the first PC game I ever played when my parents went to best buy in the late 90s and got a computer. I was less than 5 years old so I have zero idea what it was called, but the details i provided above are accurate.

[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.

[Roblox][2025] Freeform western roleplay with prop placing, set in a fictional state in the 1870s-80s

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a Roblox game I played around summer 2025 or earlier. It was a freeform roleplay in the style of Clear Skies Over Milwaukee or After the Flash, but set in the Wild West (around the 1870s-1880s) in a fictional state.

The map was mostly desert, with a frontier town that had a general store, bank, tailor and other shops. You could place props like fruit stands. The guns were old-timey but had some modern attachments, like suppressors. You could change your name and use clothing, weapons and tools, but there were no set roles or objectives.

[Maybe PSP or DS?] [2000-2015?] 3D Ninja Turtles game with a unique vibe

1 Upvotes

From what I remember, It wasn’t a platformer or anything like that. There was just fighting, and there were different “waves”, for lack of a better term. An in-game cutscene would play of one of the turtles doing some parkour and moving through the area, and then the game would put you in an “arena” with enemies.

I only remember it taking place in an underground area, but i could be mistaken. I remember the game having very dark desaturated colors, mostly grays and dark blues, and the characters had lots of shadow covering them.

[Arcade Game] [1990ish] Where You Fight Enemies and a Bunch of Bosses in Little Japan Setting

1 Upvotes

It was an arcade game. I am pretty sure it can be a 2 player game. Each stage you will fight a bunch of henchmen, and at the end of the stage, you will fight the final boss. The game is set in some kind of Little Japan setting. I do remember there’s an enemy you fight, a kabuki boss or something. I think it was some sort of Japanese game, but the setting is somewhat American Little Japan. However, I may be wrong. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks!

[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.

[IPAD] [EARLY 2010'S] Hospital click and drag game with white stickfigures

Helping my friend try and find a game, she described it as an app on her Ipad that was a simplistic hospital game that featured white stickfigure characters (described as being very similar looking to the mecha chameleon stickfigures).

You didn't have a player character and you just sort of clicked and dragged the stickmen out of the waiting room in the bottom left to be examined / helped. It had a heart based health system where if the stickmen got impatient you would loose hearts

Heres a rough diagram of the room:
