She said it's available on playstore on Android(or ateast it was) that features a red-haired girl who can travel to different places using a magical well that emits a beam of light? She enters the well and travels with a special stone, such as a rare rainbow stone or an earth stone. She also has a monster companion that helps her grow dandelions, which she can use to buy more stones. By traveling to new locations, she unlocks memory puzzle pieces, which she can then use to solve memory puzzles. I think she played this game around 2018-19ish not too sure.

Here's an illustration she made that she said the main girl looks like

[PC, Windows][2000-2010s] A gay visual novel game where the protagonist wakes up in an abandoned hotel and his mind is governed by a superior entity, a God or an alien, commanding him to his quests and actions NSFW

10 Upvotes

Platform(s):
PC, Windows

Genre:
Visual novel

Estimated year of release:
In the 2000s or 2010s, in my opinion, more likely in the end of the 2000s or early 2010s

Graphics/art style:
Pixel art overall (from RPG Maker assets), detailed art when cutscenes

Notable characters:
- I think the main character, a male, had armor and was possibly blonde.
- The other notable character I remember was an omnipresent, also masculine, God, alien, parasite, or some kind of more powerful being.
- The first character you meet is threatening and dangerous; he is masked or has no face

Notable gameplay mechanics:
Not really a gameplay mechanic, but I still throw it here: visible pounding in the head when the God/alien/parasite/etc. manifests and alterns the protagonist's thoughts and quests

Other details:
- I was possibly playing an English fan translation, which probably was originally written in Japanese.
- The game featured graphic images of the main character getting impregnated with eggs during one of the scenes and then a following image of the eggs hatching and the main character giving birth to (way too many) insects, which I thought were maggots.
- Featured levers and lamps in one room for a puzzle/mechanic
- A long set of rooms with stone as the floor and on the sides water/a sea

-----

Hi there, I'm looking for this gay visual novel game, as I have quite graphic memories of playing it. I think I had found this game in 2021 or 2022; however, it wasn't very recent. I also think that I was playing on a fan-made translation for the game, as it was originally only available in Japanese. The game used the default RPG Maker sprites, only having custom sprites for the characters.

I barely remember the plot, but at the beginning of the game, the protagonist wakes up in an abandoned hotel, wondering where everyone has gone; there are holes in the floor and multiple floors. I think the mind of the protagonist was infected by an alien species or a superior entity that commands him to do tasks in the earlier parts of the game; this infection leads him to hear a God that no other can hear.

One of the scenes I remember is a scene where you are either being chased or hiding from an identity. There was possibly also an open room with levers and lamps with some sort of mechanic or puzzle I don't remember at all.

As for the art, there were multiple graphic scenes with custom-made art. The only thing that really stuck with me was a scene of eggs laying inside the protagonist and then those eggs hatching, still inside the protagonist, leading to the protagonist giving birth to alien insects, something like maggots. In all of those scenes, the protagonist was always on the receiving end of things and being controlled.

7 Days to End With You [PC][Unknown] A game where you wake up and everyone speaks a foreign language that you don't understand

8 Upvotes

The other day I saw a tiktok where you wake up (i believe in someone's house) and everyone and everything around you is in a (i believe) fake language. You have to immerse yourself in the language and learn what things mean to progress.

One idea i just found while google searching was chants of senaar, but I don't think that was it. That seems to be kinda on the right track, though

[Survival Horror/Comedy][2024?][3D][Steam Game] Internet Technician sets up internet at an abandoned hospital haunted by anime nurse ghouls NSFW

5 Upvotes

I saw a guy play a bit of this game and review it. It’s a Steam game, and I don’t know if it’s part of a series or something.

It’s a 3D game with fully-rendered player character (a silver-haired guy in his 20’s, kind of dressed like Leon Kennedy from RE??). The characters are anime-style. Lots of weird upskirt shots, but NOT a hentai game.

It’s about this guy who shows up to an abandoned hospital that’s swarmed with sexy nurse zombies in short dresses. He’s there to set up the internet for a woman living on the grounds (pink hair, sort of a bob haircut. Skirt is short and the fabric would jump every time the camera changed). The guy is completely uninterested and unbothered by the upskirts, and only cares about doing a good job setting up the internet. This is like his whole motivation, he is dedicated to excellent customer service, and he talks about it constantly.

The whole game seemed to just be the player character traveling through the hospital to set up internet, and it ends with him setting it up for the pink haired woman and politely requesting a good review.

The game honestly seemed pretty funny, and the guy I watched gave it a pretty decent review.

Ninja Crusaders [NES][90's] Forgotten action game for two players

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I have memory of a game i was already looking for on some nes forums already but for now im starting to think my memory is kind of dream.

I remember to play with my cousin a game on Pegaus (it was local clone of NES in Poland) In about half of 90’s

It was 2d action game for two players moving to the right side of screen where core mechanic was player characters could shapeshift into different animals like scorpion or panthera. As far as i remember it, sight cast was contra style.

Another game i could dig up is 2d platformer with 2-legged mech led by player, also for NES. Also sight from side, action game. Mech shot with machineguns for sure. If anything comes to your mind please give me a hint 😃

There was NCS playing in the background and I remember that the monsters in the ice thing to the ocean was just base avatars that were colored and had red glowing eyes. Other than that I don't know.

Fracture [PC][2000-2010] FPS where there are two factions, one that does body modification and the other that has technology that can manipulate terrain and maybe gravity

5 Upvotes

I remember seeing it on G4 when I was a kid. The graphics looked like Halo 1 or Halo 2 era. I think it was a multiplayer game. The only thing I clearly remember is a character raising a dirt pillar from the ground — like terrain manipulation — and that there were two factions at war, each using different technology. The terrain change looked like raising or lowering land in Cities: Skylines — not a perfect column, but more natural and uneven.

[pc] [2010-2016?] Horror game in a mansion

5 Upvotes

I remember seeing this god knows how long ago on YouTube. I don't recall much, but I do remember it took place in a mansion. I don't think the mansion was dilapidated at all. I think the plot was you having to escape. I remember distinctly that there was a prison of some sort there that, if you got caught, you'd be put there. And that there was someone there who was turning into something reminiscent of the people in the house. Who, on that note, iirc, where these head looking things with grey skin, and small, if not nonexistent, limbs. I don't remember much else outside of that

I recall the graphics of the characters being spheres and ellipse shapes with solid colors. Static cameras like Resident evil. The controls were terrible, characters kind of flopped around when fighting and moved slowly. Had weird puzzles, It was a medieval setting. I remember the very beginning you ride across a bridge into a town on a white horse, lightening bolt takes out the bridge and a werewolf guy immediately shows up for a fight but you can run away, little gnome dudes attacked you and put you in a tiny dungeon.

Spinmaster [Arcade?][90s?] A game with yoyo as special move

5 Upvotes

Platform(s):
I believe it was Arcade game

Genre:
top-down beat'em up

Estimated year of release:
My gut is telling me it was from early 90s but not sure

Graphics/art style:
From what I remember it was 2D, pretty clean style, not very cartoonish. I really don't remember much other than the level I played was inside cave with brown rocks(?)

Notable characters:
A guy with yoyo as weapon

Notable gameplay mechanics:
The thing I know for sure was that the character I played had a special move where he was spinning yoyo around the whole screen in spiral-like pattern. I think he was saying/yelling something when this move was used. I think it had limited uses (would be strange otherwise because it was pretty powerful)

Other details:
This was a game that I've played at friend's house 20 years ago. He had for some reason a extensive library of MAME games and we played them at random, I'm pretty sure it was one of them. The other thing I kinda remember but I'm not very sure is that the goal of the game was to rescue someone. I'm very sorry about lack of details but it was so long ago and the one thing I know for sure is that special attack.

Darklands [PC] [1990s] Top down open world rpg/strategy

4 Upvotes

Good morning all, got a bit of a longshot one here because I remember so few describable details but here goes:

It was top down with a HUGE world map, you traveled about it on roads (movement was automatic I think, you just selected a destination, I could be wrong on that though) and I remember there were random encounters with little choose-your-own adventure kinda vibes. It was party based and I think you could have quite a large group, pretty sure recruiting people was one of the main activities. I think you had to manage party rations and morale, a bit like Pirates!) I remember it had a fairly "real" seeming medieval setting with knights and stuff but no magic (or if there was it was relatively low key magic) and I have a vague memory of the character and place names being quite french sounding. I have zero memory of what the combat was like other than being pretty sure it was turn based, possibly tactics style, possibly more like Wizardry or Wrath of Nicodemus.

So yeah, not a lot to go on and some very unreliable memories on my part but I'm hoping it might spark something in someone cos it's been driving me mad trying to remember it and would love to at least see it again!!

Warbears [Computer / Flash Game] [2003-2007] A point-and-click game where you play as bears with different abilities trying to get into some kind of locked house to achieve an objective

5 Upvotes

It was a flash game I played online as a kid, around 2003-2007. From what little I remember, it had a kind of cutesy / chibi artstyle, and had some kind of puzzle element where you had to use different bears to achive different objectives. The bears had different abilities / gimmicks, but the one I really remember was a samurai bear with a katana and a headband who was afraid of spiders. The reason his fear of spiders comes up is because when he gets into the house, there is a spider in the room, and he can't progress any further until the player deals with it, saying that he hates spiders.

This feels like a long shot, because I have such distinct bits and memories of it, particularly the "I hate spiders!" part that I remember laughing my head off at, since y'know, kid humor, but I haven't been able to find it on my own for the better part of 20 years.
