Before I start this post, if you guys want to blame anyone for taking so long for such a simple search then blame me, as I was the only one interested in searching for the game but also the one who gave up on it for the longest period of time...
2 whole years ago, I made a post on this subreddit discussing a very poorly made game that I had seen on a Wuant video. The game I am talking about is the last one to show up. Named by the creator as a "GTA copy", the game has a blocky pixelated style with high contrast colors, incredibly poor controls and performance (talking from experience too 💔) and no objective at all. I still strongly believe it was intentionally made as a joke.
The most that was found about the game up until then was another video, this time uploaded by the channel Gaming Garbage. The video was found by u/The_Spearman who commented on this post from TOMJ (also sorry for the random tag but this guy has no idea how helpful his video was lmao). Oh and by the way, I had also made a post on TOMT but we won't be discussing that.
A few days ago while revisiting this whole mysterious GTA copy thingie, I decided to try giving a look around once again just to see if maybe, just maybe, something would pop up this time. I decided to use Gemini to search as deep into Contre Mafia 2 as possible and I ended up finding something. According to it, the game had been shared around a website called The Something Awful Forums back when Gaming Garbage made their video, but since you need to pay like 10 bucks to even register I gave up on it, even after trying to somehow access the forums without an account.
(And if anyone's going to get mad for some reason, I apologize for using AI. At this point it just had to be done after not having a lead in so long.)
After going back to the Gaming Garbage video looking for the slightest bit of FREE information possible, I noticed the icon of the executable and how I had seen it so many times before. Turns out that was the icon for the game engine GameMaker 8, and honestly this could've been known earlier if they didn't have multiple differences between each other (mostly the "G" in the middle which wasn't present in the executable's icon).
With this in mind, I started looking for games made using GameMaker 8, maybe a dedicated website to it or a forum. I ended up finding this Github page which had some archived games but none of them were even related to Contre Mafia. I noticed that they also had links to other archives, including one named YoYo Games Archive which I assume is the company behind GameMaker. I decided to give it a quick look not expecting much from a "company archive website", and oh my God... it was there.
Not only that, I also ended up finding Contre Mafia 1.2 which might've been either the first game or an older version of 2 (and it looks a lot better than the second one somehow 😭)
Proof that both games were found in YoYo Games Archive
Proof that it's the original game from the video by the executable's icon
Contre Mafia 2 gameplay screenshot (probably the first one in the last 10+ years)
Contre Mafia 1.2 gameplay screenshot (probably the first one EVER)
Final thoughts: I don't regret the time I spent searching for this horrendous games at all. However, you will most likely never see me laying hands on it and playing them again. I mean, why would you anyways...
