Long shot, but its bugging me. I'm tryna recall the name of an old cancelled game I saw in a trailer once. I know I downloaded its audio/music at some point but I can't recall were that file is stored currently.

The game teaser was maybe 1-2 mins long and it showed a girl either with or running from a Team ICO inspired looking creature, not a huge one I think but defo ICO inspired. Music was ominous or sad-sounding I think aswell. The vibe/atmosphere was very dark/moody/depressive/intense I think aswell. Also the teaser may have been inside a cave and I think the girl was climbing at one point in the teaser. That's all I can recall really.

If anyone knows the game/trailer or has an idea based on that description, give me a shout. Thanks.
 
Don't you remember an approx. time (around which year did you see the trailer?), or how about the graphics? They were something like ps2 "ico" or more modern, even if "ico" inspired? Also are you 100% sure it's a cancelled game? (maybe they released it but you don't remember the title so you can't find it). Sorry if I ask questions that may be obvious, I have no idea based on your description, but maybe someone else who knows better may help you, if there are more details.
 
I may say I did saw lots of such generic video game trailers but you didn't give any significant detail whatsoever. No year frame, no detail on how the girl is, environment, graphic style, art style, what it might be its target platform and all...

Not to mention it may not be from a cancelled game, it may be very early teaser, prototype and whatnot video that video games can change since their early announcements. For example years ago while I was exploring foreign channels on my satellite-connected TV I found a French channel showing a cool game about the young man who has typical Japanese "long but not too long long hair" throwing his Prince of Persia like long dagger around and where the dagger landed he was teleporting that location. So in the video we were completely seeing him from his back and he was running always forward. The video game had the impression that no matter what this character "moves forward" because at some point a tower was collapsing in front of him and he was zap zap teleporting inside of him and then the video ended when thus he reached a huge AF black monster. For a long time I thought it was a cancelled game or something because I didn't bump into any game like that, but then Final Fantasy XV released with the same mechanic lol so I gotta assume it was that game lol.

From the way you just gave little details it just reminds me Little Nightmares 1, perhaps it can be any game featuring a girl. If the girl is playable main character its rather easy to find by you because not many playable female character in existence to begin with.
 
is it this game?

Can't give any more details than I already have. Its all I can recall. If I had to guess year of trailer, 2010/11.

I'm gonna have a look for the music file I downloaded. If I find that, I'll have the anwer and post it.

It would help if you could recall the platform and/or the time. Was it after 2010s? If Team Ico inspired must have been after 2000s? Was it a PC games, or a console game, and what console?
I'd say 2010s for trailer date.
 
how about this?

Mystery solved. Thanks to those who tried to help.
 
aww cancelled, and by FF's creator too?
so how did you find it exactly?
I downloaded the vid as a music file a while ago and the name stood out around the other music files I had so I checked the name on YT search and boom, vid popped and I'm like yah thats the vid I couldn't recall.

Yah shame it got cancelled based on how it looks in the trailer and given who was involved in its making. Also its artist was the same one who did Drakengard art.
