For years now I've had this distinct memory of playing this one (I'm assuming Flash or Shockwave) game as a kid, but I've never been able to track down anything even remotely similar. Maybe someone on here can help or at least back up my memories.
I remember a visual novel-style game where you play as either a player-friend of the main character or the main character herself. The main character was a kid with really androgynous vibes (still not sure if it was a boy or a girl, but I'm going to go with girl for now), blonde hair that was straight and shoulder-length, and a short name. I'm guessing it was like that so kids of any gender would be more likely to play the game.
I didn't understand much English back then, but I distinctly remember the game being tied to a car brand. For a long time, I was convinced that the brand was Mercedes Benz, but again, nothing comes up when I look for "Mercedes Benz kids game from the 2000s". I also remember the backgrounds for scenes being almost like photos, if not actual photos. Very gray, very real looking, with no fantasy aspect whatsoever. I think it might have taken place in Germany. There might have been a sort of global travel thing going on where you and/or the main character met with kids from different countries, but I might be totally wrong on that note.
I understood virtually nothing of what was going on, but I think I was intrigued by the fact that it was a game made by a car brand, yet had no racing aspect (none that I remember) and the main character was quite girly-looking.
If anyone has any clue what I'm talking about, please let me know!!!
