I came across this screenshot in the Randomwaffle thread, does anyone know what game it's from? My first thought was Winback but I don't remember what the cutscenes were like in that game

I just recently remembered this older (late 2000s, maybe early 2010s) 2D indie horror game and wanted to see if the devs ever did anything after it. I'm not sure it was really that good, but I do remember enjoying it at the time. It was mostly atmospheric and based around puzzles and didn't constantly have monsters chasing you, though there were occasionally some to run away from, just not much combat at all. It was set on a space station. You played a cartoon/anime woman with amnesia, and had to put together what happened to the station and crew. Eventually you discover it had something to do with this artifact/obelisk that was on the station, though I can't remember the specifics. It ends by blowing up the station and has an ending screen of the MC on the nearby planet's surface, maybe watching the station burning up on reentry? Some other vague memories: a normal hallway that eventually started repeating and turned into meat that grew eyes and I think had a stoplight at one point, a dismembered body you had to find pieces of and put back together, and a bunch of unique deaths. Anybody have any recollection of this game?

This is almost certainly The White Chamber. Looks like they never released anything else. Zathril fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Jul 6, 2022 |

It absolutely is. Thank you! Yeah, it looks like they've split up and gone on to other stuff. Oh well. Guess I can see how much of the white chamber I do remember, at least.

Friend was talking to me about an old arcade game from childhood he couldn't remember: Think its an early era(Double Dragon to Final Fight timeline) beat em up. Both players controlled the same character which was a big buff dude carrying a small dude on his shoulders and the first level mid boss was a king kong rip off that burst thru a wall, the stage 1 boss was a pair of Eagle type monsters. I just have no idea. He couldn't narrow down the time period the game takes place in(fantasy old times or modern) but seemed confident there were no modern weapon power ups just your fists and maybe hand held weapons like swords. Ring a bell for anyone? Im usually equipped to handle this lol

Racing game from the late 90s or early 00s, it had one specific mechanic where the cars had huge wheels (think monster trucks but the car was between the wheels, not on top) which allowed them to roll over and continue driving upside-down.

I loved Rollcage, and was excited for the remake called GRIP. For some reason, though, it didn't do a lot for me. I'll have to give it another go.

Looking for a game with a mushroom harvesting bench. 3d, released sometime in the oughties, probably an mmo? The bench in question is a rotten log supported kinda like a sawhorse bench. You place it, wait for some amount of time, then harvest the mushrooms. I don't recall what the purpose of the mushrooms were for. There's a chance this old memory is wrong in that it could've just been house decoration.

Mid-2000s. Windows, indie game, freeware, 2d. Shmup like side scroller, but an endless runner. You control a spaceship going through an asteroid tunnel or something trying to get to the center to blow it up. Just one level that is a narrow tunnel which is procedurally generated. Your ship would keep increasing in speed, but you were able to grind the top and bottom on the walls/ground in order to decrease speed and build up kinetic energy for lasers in order to blast obstacles. It's not a shooter with tons of enemies, it's like they are sprinkled in here and there, and the main gameplay is flying fast in the tunnels and scraping the walls. The controls were similar to flappy bird or lunar lander or something where you need to keep the ship afloat via the thruster and carefully scrape the walls. There were achievements for playing with different options (increased speed, no weapons, etc.)

I'm trying to remember the name of a game, NES-era though I can't remember if it originated there or was a port, about a family of adventurers. IIRC it was three "generations" of the same family, with grandparents, parents, and children all playable (simultaneously, it wasn't actually a generational game IIRC) and with different powers. I think it was a side-scrolling platformer game with maybe mild RPG or Zelda/Metroidvania elements.

I have a very vague memory of playing a zombie/post-apocalyptic game about 10-15 years ago. The only thing I really remember about it was that the art style resembles the Madness Combat series, but it's not any Madness Combat game. Unfortunately, that's pretty much all I can remember. It's a longshot, but does that ring anyone else's bells?
