openNo Title Videogame
A flash game I came across several years ago, it was about a little white guy who (as I recall) had a leaf on his head or something like that. In the game, the main character lived in a kind of tree, the main objective of the game was to take care of the house and resources because otherwise, the main character would die in one or more ways, I remember that in one ending his house literally fell on top of him. It was a game that taught how to take care of the environment, but in a very weird way.
openAn Indie Horror Game Involving An Animal Cult Videogame
The game is designed to look like an old ds/gameboy game (or similar handheld console); the main character is a delivery guy, I believe a pizza guy. It starts trying to deliver a pizza to a trailer park type area, but quickly spirals into horror after finding a girl who is clearly scared. I don't recall a lot, but I'm just going to list things:
- You get a gun, I think a shotgun.
- You go into a building farther back with a guy you met who is looking for someone (You have to shoot a padlock to progress)
- You can find notes talking about people being "ready" or not.
- IIRC it's a very muted color pallet, or possibly just in black and white.
- It is online only, was not a real game produced from the device its modeled to look like.
- The game at least implies that people in the cult are being turned into animals.
- After leaving the girl you find early on in your car, you come back and find your car trashed, possibly a door missing, and she's gone.
- Either Markiplier or Jacksepticeye played through it in a video with a few horror games. (It was definitely played in the past 5 years, but I don't know more accurate than that)
- One of the final lines was from a guy saying something similar to "Why can't you just leave us alone!?"
- A good few of the characters have slightly unsettling designs (not anything extreme, but I think stuff like their proportions were off)
- It was a very short game.
openWeb game(s)/site about technological edutainment? Videogame
My memory on this game(s) or site is VERY hazy, but the gist of it that I recall is that I likely played it online, and it occurs in a world of personified technological concepts. I kinda remember spam-mail being represented as a rather ugly female caricature with heavy makeup and lipstickwd Gag Lips.
I lean towards at least some of it being in a not-that-refined 3D style (early 2000s stuff likely), but I recall more than one way that the gameplay panned out, all having a 3rd-person view, but it may be that they both existed.
- You explore your surroundings by clicking on adjacent sides of the screen (where a path starts/continues), the player character walks that way and the scene changes to that adjacent area. Not quite a birds-eye-view as the "board game" mode, but far enough to see most of the surrounding area and paths to take.
- A layout akin to a board game, where you walk on squares that join to perpendicular paths. Some squares are desirable to be/land on, some are not. I believe the "spam mail lady" that I mentioned earlier was here as an undesirable square. I vaguely recall the objective: to reach a computer lab, which was either at the middle of the map, the end of the "maze", or both.
openThere was a phone app with a lion called Toby... Videogame
...or something like that. He meets two other animals: a male anteater and a female whose species I've forgotten. They find a ring each: Toby's is blue, the FWSIF's is red, and the anteater's is green. The rings are magical, although I forgot exactly what they do, and there's a sequence where they trap some dude, who was previously riding around on a tornado, inside a bottle.
At the end, there's a music video called "Circle of Colors" which comes in three different languages.
The gameplay mostly resembles that of Visual Novels.
If anyone knows what this app is called, PLEASE tell me. I've been looking for it everywhere but cannot find it.
Edited by ReshpeckowiggleopenTarot reading video game Videogame
A 80s-90s Nintendo (?) video game about tarot card reading. There are rumours that it could predict deaths. A character (?) from the game, Taboo gets in to Smash Bros as assist trophy if I can recall...
resolved Beat bad guys up, use the pile of bodies to get out of the hole Videogame
Does anyone know the name of an independent PC videogame, probably from around 2005-2015, with this mechanic?
The game's a Low-polygon 3D Beat 'em Up with no plot or real setting. Characters are composed of basic shapes like cubes and octahedrons. From what I remember, the only difference between the player character and the enemies was the character color. The player starts out in a hole a few cubes deep, and enemies keep jumping in. Once you beat an enemy, his body falls apart and becomes part of the terrain. Beat enough enemies and you'll have enough bodies to climb out of the hole. After beating a level, you move on to a wider, deeper hole. I never got to the end, and for all I know, new levels can keep generating randomly forever.
Edited by Mac_RopenThis one game I used to play Videogame
It was a kids game and I think it started with some bird or something flying on top of this boys chimney and then the game went inside of the house where the boy was in his bed sleeping. I think the game was about this boy that was invited to a birthday party but he woke up sick and couldn’t go and I remember the beginning of the game was where you would wake up and go to the bathroom and try to find medicine for him because he was sick or something. There was also a closet that had like a doll that was Easter egg to another game. I also think that he had some sort of animal friend or something (I think it was the bird in the beginning of the game) I remember he really wanted to go to the birthday party so I think he decided to go anyway and I remember there was something to do with the boy hearing a wolf or something like that following him around and he was trying to catch the wolf or find out what was following him but i think the wolf ended up being good or something. And I remember that there was a part of the game where the boy went to the dentist or something. The characters were also animals sort of like tumble leaf from what I remember? I think the style of the game also kind of looks like the tumble leaf style. But I really don’t think it was specifically a tumble leaf game. That’s all I remember from this game

It was available on the Xbox 360, had a Latin name, a red rose(?) logo with red text on a white background and was 2.5D.

openA PSP game about finding train pieces Videogame
This is for a friend.
According to her, it was a 3D, PSP game.
The main character was an angel that could see what happens in Earth using a portal. At some point we travel using a train to go to a city, but this had some sort of problem and falled from the skies. After that we arrive into a lake, and someone helps us to get out.
The point of the game is to gater the train pieces scattered around to fix the train, hop on it and return to Heaven.
It had a third-person pov, and she is sure that is not a game called Riviera: The Promised Land
She doesn't remember anything else.
resolved I played a Timon and Pumbaa game on an airplane ride Videogame
As in, this game was available in the built-in screen on the back of the seat in front of mine, and there was likely a remote control of sorts to control it, there are films, games and other sorts of entertainment on it. I forget what airline this was, but in years I'd estimate 2008 - 2014? (That's about the time I was flying most often anyway.)
This game features Timon and Pumbaa, where you control the latter to move left and right on the ground as objects (mostly food) falls from the trees above (I believe it was Timon that was shaking the trees to do this?). One inedible object (that would knock out or weaken Pumbaa for a bit if it hits him) was a wooden sink of all things.
One prominent game mechanic made use of Pumbaa's farts. I forget if it's a charged ability that requires hold and release or a meter that accumulates the more he eats, but sending green fart clouds upwards can knock out bugs that would otherwise hurt him when they fall. Bigger fart cloud = wider knockout area.
Edited by BlackFaithStarresolved Point and Click adventure game with lots of references Videogame
It was a point and click adventure where you played as a skeletal kid who had died because your friend accidentally gave you plums(?) which you were deathly allergic to and your goal was to find your friend before halloween ended. It took place on the day and night of halloween and a few big youtubers played it.
resolved Creepy giggle Videogame
Where is this laugh
from? I know I've heard it in a game before, but I can't put my finger on it. I thought it was either Boos or Midna, but I searched those and they don't match.
resolved pokemon snap rip-off Videogame
i had a game on my ipad around maybe 6 years ago? it was a pokemon snap rip-off in the woods and you ride a horse and you can feed the horse, and wash the horse. it might have been taken off the app store, but idk
resolved Painting program for kids Videogame
Years back, I used to play this on this kids' paint program on my parents' computer. I remember that it had a wood-grain border around the picture, you could either draw or do some flood-fill painting (IIRC), and the sound for undoing a mistake was a cartoonish voice saying "Whoops".
Does anybody remember what it might be? I don't remember the name, and I doubt it was a version of Kid Pix, because it looked and sounded different.
Edited by DongwaChanopencreepy puzzle game? Videogame
There was this game which may have been an escape room/puzzle game on mobile i played anywhere from 2014 - 2017 the game was in a painting-like art style where it was mostly still images as backgrounds. at the beginning there is a guy who talks to you before you enter the house sometimes when you entered the room with the stairs (right infront of the front door), the dog that sits by the stairs is missing its head? although most of the time it had a head. up the stairs there where a few rooms where maybe when you tried to unlock the door or enter the door (im not sure) there was this creepy lady who might have been a doll. that is all i really remember about the game as i was young when i played it.
resolved You play as a robot wearing a red cloak, with a golem as an ally Videogame
See title, but I remember the intro pretty well: the golem opens a vault containing your character, revealing that the world is covered in purple goo of some kind. After some basic tutorials, the goo attacks the PC, and the golem has to cut off their arm, replacing the robot's missing arm with one of their own. Additionally, your character has a sword, and it had some platforming elements, as well as an upgrade system.
resolved reverse angry birds Videogame
title says it all pretty much, it was like a reverse angry birds game where you had to build a structure with a set of given parts that would stand up to an attack, that attack being from cats and the structure being made of household objects
openVillage game from late 2010s (deleted?) Videogame
Hello, I remember a village game that was probably on most phone and tablet app stores back in the late 2010s. It might have been deleted, I don’t know.
It is closest to the game Virtual Villagers in its gameplay. You would try to grow this community and see it progress. The villagers were cartoony humans.
The map had a river in the upper part and land everywhere else. There was a major quest where you had to save a child that was in a basket. The child was supposed to be in the river and you had to craft a thing to help them get out.
I’m pretty sure it existed.
opengame i used to play when i was younger Videogame
There was this app I played all the time on my grandma's iPad when I was younger, like 3 years old. I forget what it was called exactly, but it would teach about simple stuff, like living things and weather and numbers. There might have been numerous apps in one series, I don't remember exactly. Anyways, there were a group of characters who would teach you the stuff. There was a female voice over, so the characters were only there for show really. Most of them were children, but the only two characters I remember are this purple furry monster guy (fittingly named Purple), and this African-American girl named Mimi, who had her hair in buns if I recall correctly. I'm pretty sure the characters had like...beady eyes or something. When I tried to search for the app in my grandma's downloaded app history, I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm pretty sure it got taken down. But does anyone know what it was called?

I dont remember much of this game. Just that the main character is an anthropomorfic rabbit, I think he used a laser gun, and you fight against chameleons.
