the game had a similar cover to that of Deus Ex Invisible War but it was not it. The whole game had a colder tint to it. It was sci-fi ish.

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

Post image
59 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 ?

[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

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.

Madosa [Android] [2010s] Game about upgrading a magic flame

Thumbnail gallery
45 Upvotes

The mood of the game was dark, but not in a horror way but in mysterious way? There was a hand, there was a guy, there was the magic flame stuff

Gameplay was very simple. It's like a dexterity game where you unlock a lock. Rune lock? A type of lock with multiple layers you had to stack together

The overall goal was just to unlock more colorful flames with special animated effects. No lore as far as I can remember

Sorry for scribbles. I don't remember the graphics very well. I think it was flat-art? With bloom from the light source and a highly animated/dynamic flame

[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

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

Post image
36 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][2015-2025] 1st person 3D horror game with realistic graphics where you are hiding from a family member(I think) because they are acting strange but in the end you found out you were crazy and in reality you were the one terrorizing THEM

6 Upvotes

I've seen a streamer playing this a few years back and they dont put the name of the game in the title.

I am pretty sure it was indie, available on PC and if I remember correctly I think it was a "sister" we were scared of. The whole game you see her moving around the house and in the end you somehow learn everything she was doing was normal but you were crazy

I dont know if it was in reality a sister but pretty sure it was a family member. She was presented as being human and I am pretty sure the character you're playing is also human, although by the end its possible the big plot twist is that he(or she), the character we are playing is clinically insane.

The game was in beta in early 2021 if I'm not mistaken, had the same gameplay system as shadow of death and shadow hunter, it also had companions system. I can't seem to find I'm not sure if it's one of the games i mentioned and it got reworked, or if it got taken down.

[PC][LATE 2000'S-EARLY 2010'S] DUNGEON CRAWLER

4 Upvotes

In the late 2000's or 2010s I used to play a game with my cousin ( it was single player but we took turns) it was a dungeon crawler that was a 3rd person ( top down) game where you would take your charachter into different dungeons fighting blobs, rats, wolfs,monsters, deamons etc and collect items such as weapons coins etc. This would have been a game that could be downloaded through windows preloaded game store ( windows games live IIRC)

Fate is close to what it was but its not what I remember exactly.

[PC/Flash] [2012 or before] Point and click horror game where a little devil (satan?) has to witness you burry something to get the true ending or something like that

5 Upvotes

I have really faint memories cuz I was a kid playing it and it used to scare the shit out of me. Its one of those realistic point and click horror games (backgrounds are probably real pictures).

Only things I remember is that an angel appears at some point (probably a jumpscare) and theres a part where you are outside of the house, looking at the woods and a little devil quickly dashes in and out of the screen. I remember reading somewhere as a kid that you needed him to witness you doing something to get something else.

I remember seeing my dad play a game that I'm pretty sure was set in Russia following the events of a nuclear war, sending either the country or the planet altogether into a nuclear winter. Afaik it was an fps game with the main enemies being demons(?). I was like 10 or 12 at the time, so I might be misremembering. I can't really remember anything else about the game, sorry for the very limited information

[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...

[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/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.

[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

(I tried to draw out what I remember but I can't draw lol) It was this old game where you would take care of sheep by feeding them grass and buying them toys and stuff. There was some form of currency you would get every time the sheep played with something you bought and I remember the gray sheep was rare I think? You could buy them balls and trampolines but there was this fenced off area to the side that I think was for some future update or something. Please help me find this game! I loved it as a kid!

I faintly remember my brother having a game when I was a kid, really young, and I swear it had a little brown pick up or some kind of pick up a vehicle and there was a hidden track and instead of showing an outline of a map, it had a stereotypical gray alien there.
