Can't remember the name of that game from your past?

[Deleted member 746185]

There was this indie (?) game that I remember seeing some videos of in the past, and it was apparently some rpg/first person dungeon crawler or something that allegedly started production in the 90s but completed it in late 2010s. I remember seeing a screenshot of it that had blue wall backgrounds and such, but nothing else.

Could it be Grimoire : Heralds of the Winged Exemplar?

The game was first announced in 1997, but is released at 2017.

There's also Demise: Ascension and Devil Whiskey which I believe were also in the oven for a very long time.

I remember play a 2D platformer for PC(Windows) when I was kid when my mom and my aunt(which is my father's sister) worked in an clinic and I played the game in one of clinic's PCs but I don't remember the name

some stuff that I vagely remember

-the title screen shows a boy(with a hat?) and an girl(blonde?)
-the first level is in a field with flowers and mushrooms(?)
-you can save some NPCs
-one of the levels is in the space

as the game had pixel art graphics looks like that was released during 90s

What year was it when you played? Aside from the title screen you mentioned, it sounds a lot like Cave Story (or the enhanced Cave Story +).

I played the game when I was 6-7 year old like 2009-2010

nope, it's not Cave Story(which recently I played this year, very good game)

the characters are human not robots and there's no shooting mechanics as I remember

Hi guys,

the game i'm searching for came on a CD from an old italian computer magazine, whose name i don't remember (we don't want to make it that easy, do we?)

It run on Windows XP, and it was a platformer. Could also have been a Flash-based game, the graphics were somewhat cartoonish.

Now, a couple of peculiar details: each level was a single screen, i'm pretty sure of that. And one of the "worlds" (basically a collection of levels) was desert-themed, and i distinctly remember that the underlying music was a blatant ripoff of the theme from "Lawrence of Arabia".

One last thing: i think the controlled character was some sort of humanoid potato, or something like that, lol! but honestly i'm not so sure about this detail.

Hope someone can help me find that game, thank you!

Could it be Adventures of Sting?

I remember playing a game on PC that had almost the same gameplay as Out of this world but the character you control has a red t-shirt and black pants and it's like a futuristic setting.
I remember you have a gun and the enemy at that point is almost invisible.

I played it in the early 2000's but the computer was old so maybe the game is older.

How did you end up finding it? Or did you just recall it from memory?

Dude, he's the game archivist, of course he would know the game. That's kinda his job

 

[DJPlace]

i would ask for this one game... but it's an adult only game. and i don't think it's allowed... so i'm not go bother i just wanted to throw my 2 cents here...

 

[SoThankful]

I had a game back then it was this alligator or green little dinosaur with a fork you go around killing stuff and solve puzzles I guess I don't remember I never found it again.

Dino and Aliens

i don't think so, the one i remember has clothes very similar to star trek characters

I still think it might be Flashback, later levels of it are more futuristic... i have added a few more screenshots in my previous post... please check them.

It it's not, another game might be Fade to Black

It's a sequel of Flashback, and both are from the same company that made Out of this World...
However, this one is a 3d game... so i doubt it would be it.

 

[beefbowl]

It doesnt match clothes-wise but maybe its Blackthorne? You have a gun and aliens are hard to see.

Let's double check if this is the enemy you're talking about:

It is not that one, the one I remember the character occupied more space on the screen and the scenes were shorter and the change between each one was noticeable, imagine something like what happened in the classics RE but in 2D.
