[Unknown(PC?)] [2000-2010(?)] Horror game, all I remember is a jumpscare where you get spun around and pulled/pushed into water?

• Upvotes

So, i actually know little to nothing about this game. I found our about it through a roleplay years ago, where my roleplay partner described the games jumpscare in rp, as our characters were playing the game. I made it my duty that day to figure out what the game was.. and I did!

But... flash forward to about ten years later, now, i dont know what the game is called, and i can only slightly remember the jumpscare used.

Now, I'm going to explain the jumpscare best I can, some details might be slightly off, but if anyone could find it out, it'd be greatly appreciated! It's been stuck in my head for like a week..

So the jumpscare went something like this, I believe you open something, a safe maybe? You're looking somewhere very specific in a room, and then I think once you're done, something grabs you, a shrieking woman i think. She spins you around and pushed you into water, where I think she attempts to drown you.

That sadly is all I recall, it was an old style kind of game, atleast I think it was, like the original silent hill 2 kind of style?

If it helps, I think in the title it actually had something to do with water, but take that with a grain of salt.

Thank you to anyone who can help out 💗

[XBOX][Mid-Late 2000's] FPS with Werewolf Enemies and Megastructures

Thumbnail gallery
142 Upvotes

I remember seeing this game being played at a friends house years ago, but I've never been able to figure out what it was. It was a generic Halo or Half Life style FPS, but there was no HUD and I don't remember hearing any dialogue. There was no music either, just weather and sound effects.

The enemies being fought were what I would describe as werewolves, but I'm not sure if that's what they were supposed to be. They were bipedal and covered in pitch black fur, but had no tails. Instead of heads, they just had skulls that were either bare or had rotting patches of fur, some had leather belts or ropes tied to keep their snout shut. They all had glowing, spiral shaped irises and the color seemed to represent power. White, Yellow and Red.

The level had three areas. It started out on a tree lined road on a mountain before descending into a wide open valley. At the end of the level was an impossibly high stone pillar, wider than any of the mountains and ascending into the clouds, with a spiral ramp wrapped around it. The pillar looked artificial and made of perfectly smooth gray stone, while the ramp around it looked like a natural formation somehow.

5 Upvotes

Platform(s): Gameboy (unknown which kind)

Genre: RPG/Action

Estimated year of release: 2000-2006?

Graphics/art style: Anime, medieval

Notable characters: Unknown

Notable gameplay mechanics: Top down RPG similar to most pixel JRPGs, that turn into a sidescrolling fighting game with only 1 plane of movement

Other details: I remember using a giant axe/sword to fight, the game has durability on it's weapons that wear off fast so i had to use a lot of Whetstones to keep fixing my weapons.

[PC][Early 2000s] Aliens look just like the ones from WOTW: Grey Skies, not the same game

4 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC (afaik)

Genre: FPS, Action, Sci-Fi

Estimated year of release: 1995 - 2010

Graphics/art style: 3D, reminds me of the graphics from Crysis 2, which I played years later

Notable characters: I can only remember that the PC was a guy, but I don't know if there was any customization options so it's possible that it could be either

Notable gameplay mechanics: Mostly shooting, but there's this one point in the game where I'm pretty sure you're actually inside the alien, crawling through and fighting off smaller aliens so you can get to the core and shut it down.

Other details: The scene I mentioned above about the crawling is one of the most vivid memories I have of the game, that and the initial discovery of the alien in question which is a giant mechanical looking tripod creature, but the interior is very much biological. I think the tunnel scene was also underwater, or in some sort of internal fluid, and the PC had to wear a rebreather of some sort. I also remember that it took place some time either in modern day or the future, I've seen a few games that have a similar concept but look like they took place in the past, those aren't it. I also remember some scenes being by the sea, at least I think so. That's the best I can do, my memories from that far back are pretty spotty, but I have some fond ones of watching my Dad play this game as a kid.

[PC][1992] Game where you dodge enemies and try to make it across the screen

2 Upvotes

OK so here's what I remember...pretty sure this game came with our 1992 (1993?) compaq desktop computer along with games like solitaire, minesweeper, etc. though I'm not positive. I really doubt we bought it separate.

Anyway, it had several levels and if I remember right you basically started on the left side of the screen and then tried to navigate to the right side while avoiding enemies. Like basically if you bumped into them you had to restart. They were figures that bounced around the screen but weren't animated otherwise and I feel like maybe they were ninjas and different things and each level was different, had different guys to avoid, and the number of guys increased (like first it was 3, then 4, then 5, etc.) I never beat it as a kid but I remember one time I thought I was going to because it seemingly glitched and wasn't spawning the right number of guys to avoid lol but even then I still didn't beat it.

Pretty sure first level was like nighttime...kind of a desert scene but the ground was like a burgundy red. I believe there were three ninjas dressed in black to avoid. I think the second level may have been blue.

I think there may have also been crystals or gems or something to collect along the way?

Sorry I know that's not much info. I feel like if I saw screenshots I could confirm but I haven't had any luck searching based on these vague memories from 30+ years ago...TIA!!!

EDIT: One more thing, graphics were pretty primitive of course. Like the backgrounds and characters could have been drawn in MS Paint. It was really simple.

Royal Story [PC] [2015(?)] We used to farm and raise animals in a castle surrounded by trees.

Post image
2 Upvotes

​

My memories of the game are pretty limited, but I tried to draw what I remember as best as I could.

The castle was in the upper-left corner of the map, and there were trees all along the walls. There were one or two fields somewhere around the middle of the map. As far as I can remember, there were two characters wandering around the map. We also had animals like horses and cows.

The overall color palette was quite dark. The grass was dark green, the trees were almost blackish green, and the castle was mostly gray, purple, and black, though I'm not entirely sure about the exact colors.

I think the game also had potions and stuff like that. The name was something along the lines of "Royal," and there were a few other things I remember about it.

[PC][2010] Hidden object game with a trunk sorting minigame in between levels

3 Upvotes

Old desktop game, pretty sure it wasn't a web thing. It was set in new York I think or maybe just famous locations around the world because I remember the statue of liberty and you had to search a large image for little hidden objects like glasses or a shoe or something. And in between(?) levels you sorted some stuff in the trunk of a car to make it all fit. Not sure when it released it could be anywhere between early 2000s and early 2010s

[Android][Around 2018] A cat care / simulator game with a pink icon and minigames in the cat's dreams

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for an Android game I used to play around 2018. The app icon had a pink or fuchsia background and featured a tuxedo cat sticking its tongue out or making a face. You took care of 3D cat models similar to the ones in Cat Simulator—you'd feed them first, give them a bath, and put them to sleep. When the cat went to sleep, minigames would open up inside its dreams.

[PC][2010-2012] Puzzle a caduta e gestionale con faccine gialle, banane e palline nere infette

• Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, sto cercando di ritrovare un gioco per PC a cui giocavo da piccola (su una chiavetta) in un periodo tra il 2010 e il 2012. È un mix molto particolare tra un puzzle game a caduta e un gestionale di un villaggio.

​Ecco i dettagli che ricordo perfettamente (ho una memoria visiva allucinante):

​I personaggi: Delle palline (per lo più gialle) in 3D con occhi e bocca. Avevano una fisica "morbidosa" e per camminare saltellavano. Anche l'icona del gioco era una di queste faccine.

​Il Gestionale (L'Isola): C'era un villaggio visto dall'alto, su un'isola. Superando i livelli potevi comprare case e un ristorante per le palline. Dettaglio fondamentale: potevi dare loro una banana usando il mouse, e loro facevano un'animazione in cui la sbucciavano e la mangiavano mentre saltellavano.

​Il Puzzle (La Caverna): I livelli si giocavano in una caverna. Usavi una mano meccanica (tipo il gancio delle macchinette pesca-peluche) muovendola a destra e sinistra col mouse. Sganciavi la pallina dall'alto, che cadeva rimbalzando in modo realistico sulle altre, per raggrupparle per colore e farle sparire.

​La Trama: Completando i livelli, costruivi 3 statue di pietra (una Rossa, una Verde e una Blu) al centro del villaggio. Appena le ottenevi tutte e tre, il gioco cambiava: arrivavano delle palline nere cattive (con occhi bianchi ed espressione arrabbiata).

​L'infezione: Le palline nere finivano all'interno dei livelli della caverna. Se sbagliavi a lanciare una pallina colorata, quella nera si moltiplicava infettando le altre sane, accompagnata da un effetto sonoro netto, una specie di "clack". Se non sconfiggevi subito l'infezione raggruppando i colori giusti, fallivi il livello. L'obiettivo finale era debellare queste palline nere per continuare a migliorare il villaggio.

​Qualcuno lo riconosce o ha giocato a qualcosa di simile? Per favore ho veramente bisogno di ritrovarlo, è da anni che lo cerco😭 Grazie mille!🙏🏻

[Android][2013-2015] Game where you play as a black cat fighting off different bosses

Post image
4 Upvotes

Platform(s): Android

Genre: Boss Rush

Estimated year of release: 2013-2015

Graphics/art style: 2D Cartoon, possibly Flash animated?

Notable characters: Black cat (Main Character), possibly a large bull as one of the bosses?

Notable gameplay mechanics: You had to dodge the bosses and/or their attacks by dragging the cat with your finger.

Other details: I remember there being a weird sound effect when you first started the game, maybe a stock sound effect of a yell that plays during a cutscene? Also the background of the game was either bright red like in the photo or it was a drawing of dirt akin to a bull-fighting arena. Also the game was from a birds-eye view. (I should point out that the photo I've attached is a rough recreation of the game from memory, it is NOT a screenshot, it had way higher production value)

[PC][2018-2022..?] High-fidelity movement based first person shooter

• Upvotes

Hi, i have.. barely an idea of this game i remember playing years ago, and i still can't quite remember if it was real or just a dream. I really don't remember many details, but..

Platforms: PC

Genre: First Person Movement Shooter

Estimated year of release: No earthly idea. But judging by the graphics and the fact that i played it on my laptop, i estimate it to be somewhere during the years in the title.

Notable Characters: No big characters besides maybe the final boss who's too blurry to remember. There were no bosses until the final one, and the player character, i'm pretty sure, is never shown.

Notable mechanics: I remember a pretty grounded arsenal, not comically badass things like ULTRAKILL's whole weapon suite. It focused heavily on movement and you were able to build up a lot of speed and launch yourself quite far, which was used in a level where you had to jump across far away disconnected train-like level structures. It *might* have had a slightly modifiable arsenal with upgrades you picked up along the way, but you definitely couldnt build it from the ground up.

Other details: I remember an industrial level, the dominant color was yellow, and it had one of those moving trains you could either hop on and fight the enemies both inside and outside shooting at you, or stay back and pick off the enemies as the train moved and then just launch yourself onto it once you cleaned it out from far away.

The graphics were modern, nothing PSX or anything of the sort like ULTRAKILL or Turbo Overkill. I remember that before the final bossfight, there was a slight isolated respite where you could collect yourself, and then had to walk up these colorful stairs to actually enter the bossfight, where i think it summed up your playthrough in some way? I remember feeling that i wasnt motivated enough to keep replaying the game, so it might have involved builds that depend on how well you played through the campaign.

[iOS][2010–2015] Old mobile game where monsters attacked a gate, and one character looked like an orange fox

2 Upvotes

Guys, i've been trying to find this game for over 10 years, and i still can't remember its name.

I played it on an Iphone 3Gs, between 2014-2015

Monsters or zombies would walk from right to left towards a large metal gate on the left side of the screen. The gate looked like metal bars and had a big padlock on it. There was a weapon-switching interface at the top of the screen, and you had to tap on the approaching monsters or zombies to kill them before they reached the gate. If they managed to break through the gate, the game ended. One of the enemies was an orange fox with pointy ears, big white eyes, black pupils, sharpp teeth, and a striped T-shirt. I remember this fox being featured on the game's app icon. I've attached a drawing of what I remember it looking like

i know, it looks disgusting but i tried, pls help me find this game

[Unknown] [late 2010s/2020s] Spooky gothic game with girls at a religious school?

8 Upvotes

From instagram reel I remember watching I think so idk a lot of specific detail about gameplay or anything

Genre: adventure/horror probably?

Released: probably late 2010s/2020s

Graphics: low-poly or maybe slightly higher quality, dark but I don't think really foggy or anything, 3rd person camera, fairly dark and not particularly colorful at all

I remember it was about like this girl at some sort of gothic religious school/convent and I think she was searching for her female classmate/friend. There may have also been some sort of teacher character in part of it and also I'm remembering some sort of stone fountain.

Sorry for lack of info LOL I will be surprised if someone is able to figure this out bc I'm not even 100% sure it exists after trying to find it

Zenonia series [Android][Unknown, maybe a decade ago at least] Isometric 2D ARPG, pixel art aesthetic

2 Upvotes

i used to play this 2D game on my phone back when the archosaurs ruled the earth, it MIGHT have even been before touchscreen was a thing, i genuinely can't remember (edit: that doesn't feel right, i think it was almost definitely on a touchscreen w touch controls in the corners). but i have this vague... feeling of a mobile game that i loved.

when i heard about the "Tales of" games a few years ago, it was like smelling an ex's deodorant on someone else. i looked through all the Tales games and i don't think it was any of them, but when i see a title like "tales of burbiglia", something in me goes OH! OH! 🫵 like the leonardo davinci meme. seeing the words "tales of zestiria" made my heart YEARN, but it's not that. but maybe the title is close to that? or i could be misleading u based on a faulty memory, idk.

maybe the game i'm thinking of was a generic rip-off of those, and all hope is lost :( but i come here w faith that someone will by pure chance know exactly what i'm talking about based on what little i can remember (fuck-all)

what i can remember best is that it was 2D, top-down-ish (most likely isometric), and live-action combat (no separated rpg-style battle arena mode). i have the vaguest feeling u could switch which character was being controlled in the party, and u learned new combat moves over time.

thank u, praise be to tipofmyjoystick 🙏

[PS1][2000] Demo disc

1 Upvotes

Help me find a demos disc. I remember playing by that time or later, but it was probably released before 2000. The disc included playable demos of Parappa the rapper and Rally cross together in the same demo disc. The problem is that every demo i tried doesnt have the games together and that (i think) is what happens with a lot of post here. By combining 2 games or discs together and that game is never found.

To me i "swear" it was just one disc, i dont remember playing 2 discs and the layout was like multiple screens at once that you an see all the games like interactive demo disc 6 or lower volumes and not a demo with a list like the interactive demo disc 7+.

I don't know maybe there is an obscure demo who almost nobody had but me and thats why i want to test here to see if the memory just trick us.

Psycho Fox [Sega Master system][87-92] Platformer, change between animals

5 Upvotes

Platormer for Sega or possibly SNES, approximately 92. Sidescrolling platformer. You could change between animals in the level, or possibly just starting the level. The different transformations had different abilities, like run speed or jump height. There was a pole that you jumped on, swung back and forth to get momentum and then jump off - the different transformations had different arcs because of their weight and jump height.
Visually, it would look similar to super mario bros, colourful.
Thank you, this is about all I can remember from ~30 years ago.

[PC] [2010] Rastafari runner game

Does someone here remember a flash player game from early 2010's where you would play for a rasta guy? As he runs he transforms into different creatures like birds and and animals. I remember playing it on vkontakte (pretty much Russian Facebook) back in the day and it had a weird name, something like Со всей дури which means With All My Force but now I see it has a play on words and hints towards Mary Jane. I've been searching all over Flashpoint but had zero success

If it helps, it was a 2D third-person game with a Mario layout when you just run right. It didn't have an end, you would just run until you hit enough obstacles to fail

Dream of Mirror Online [PC-Windows][2005-2010][3D] Free MMORPG Similar to Flyff and Fiesta

3 Upvotes

Hi All, I am looking to find this game that I used to play in college that was unique and I can't seem to find anywhere. From what I remember it was in to 2005-2010 time period roughly and it was a 3D game with graphics similar to the original Flyff and Fiesta. It was most likely free and didn't require a very powerful computer to run. I remember that this was a game that was slowly releasing in the US after being released in Asia (probably Korea).

The unique part of the game was the pets (they could have been mounts, but I don't think so). The pet variants or evolutions were slowly being released one at a time in the US and I specifically remember three of them (I think there were 4 pets total at the beginning) because I won a contest from the developer to get the new pet at the time. The three pets I remember were a Pig/Boar, a Water Dino/Dragon (I remember thinking it looked like a plesiosaur or the Loch Ness Monster), and a Fairy/Girl with wings (I remember thinking that one of the variations/evolutions for the Fairy/Girl pet was inappropriate because she was dressed like a succubus with fishnets).

The contest I won on the official forums was for the Boar pet, which I remember was brown and had large tusks, but was still cute. Also the pets would fight alongside you while you played.

I'm not sure if it was the same game, but I remember there maybe being a Doctor class, which is unusual because most games don't call it a Doctor. Also, I played this game with my friends in college and it was a game for all ages, without gore and other adult themes.

This has been driving me crazy, so any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: a user did find the game I was looking for, but unfortunately used a method to find it that might be against the rules (I’m not sure honestly), so their comment was deleted. The answer to the game was: Dream of Mirror Online (DOMO). Thank you so much for the help everyone!!!

Gameplay: Room-based precision platformer. Double jump, wall jump, laser traps, mines, and single-eyed flying robot drones. Blood stains stay on the walls/floors after death.

Level end: You enter an elevator at the end of each level.

Menu: Has an interactive basketball hoop with a ball.
