Pixel Trivia!

Well, giving any more hints would be pretty much giving the game away so might as well just do that. Here's the title screen:

I can't remember how I encountered this one. I think it was on the cover CD of some gaming mag I bought ages ago because I certainly did not hang around AGS forums back in the day. It's still available to download and it's pretty good. Works on Windows 10 without much of a hassle too. Worth a playthrough if you're a fan of the genre.

@ThatOneLum was the closest and would probably find the game sooner or later so I think it's fair if he takes it away.

Weirdly I had actually hear about this game before, but I'm still not 100% sure id have got it

Either way, I'll go:

Is that The Longest Journey?

It is indeed! Glad to get the ball rolling.

Your turn!

Your turn!

Lol that was my first thought but I figured that would be too easy.

PC game from the 1990s. It's not particularly well-known but if you've ever seen it before you'll probably know it just from the main character.

Perhaps a hint is needed?

If any of you are francophone, you may be familiar with the tabletop roleplaying game sharing the same name and universe as the pictured game.

Tbh I just didn't want to be responsible for hanging the thread up again so I tried to go for one I thought people would guess.

This seems insanely familiar but I actually have no idea what this game is or the TTRPG its based on.

Hanging up the thread is my job I guess

It seems like a stumping has been done, so the answer is Dark Earth. I always remembered this scene in the beginning where a guy describes a girl he didn't get off with as having run away from him 'like a fart on an oil slick'.

@ThatOneLum seems to have had some spark of recognition, so maybe he can go again?

idk I'm new here don't bully me guys

 

[medisinn]

Since no one is posting...time for a gentle takeover! Let's get this thread moving again, eh?

 

[dr grim]

no idea what it is but the artstyle is quite nice.

i'd bet something indie that you can find on switch

 

[fmsynthetic]

I know I've seen it before.

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

That, my friend, is Undermine, I saw it on Steam a few weeks ago. (Also hello everyone)

Nice work Samatonic! It is Undermine. And it is indeed on Switch, as well as other systems, but I've been playing on Switch.

Your turn!

 

[jankusanagi jankusanagi]

Uh... so... @Samatonic ... uh.... you know, uh...

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

[dr grim]

is it expendable ?

 

[medisinn]

Looks like early 3D, maybe PS1 era? No clue though. Hint(s) please.

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

I forgot about this. It's a PS1 game, yes, and no, it's not expendables.

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

 

[fmsynthetic]

Is it a Syphon Filter?

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

Is it a Syphon Filter?

Nope, nice try though.

 

[medisinn]

Could we get a hint?

And by a hint, I mean three hints.

Could we get three hints please? It's needed to jump start the thread once again!

 

[Clippy]

This took way longer to find than I was comfortable with.

The game's called One. What a nondescript title. That's one way to consign your game to obscurity.
