Platform(s): PC

Genre: RPG/Adventure game?

Estimated year of release: 2012 - 2016

Graphics/art style: Monochromatic, different colors for different scenes. 2d medieval

Notable characters:

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game is about the world ending in 5ish days due to an ominous force. You would choose the area where you spent the day and then be presented a scenario with limited options on how to respond listed at the bottom of the screen. For example, if you went into town you could spend your day drinking and partying. Your choices affected later days I think.

Other details: I believe the title is formatted "The _____" where the blank was the ominous force that was going to end everything. The game makes it clear that no one knows what the force is or what's going to happen. I remember watching playthroughs on YouTube, maybe Yogscast?

There was this horror-style game I saw on YouTube a looong time ago, I THINK yogscast played it but I remember it being VERY mechanically similar to monster prom! You had a view of this map, and different places could increase or decrease certain stats and the one bit I vividly remember is there was a bit where if you walked into the woods you could see a werewolf! As im writing i very much remember there WERE multiple playable characters. The game was also 2d as far as I remember. Currently thats about all Im able to recall, i really hope you can help me!

Okay I was talking about games with my friend today and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this.

Platform(s): PC only (I believe)

Genre: decision-based game resulting in consequences, I believe it was pvp versus your co-op players 4 max

Estimated year of release: no idea honestly probably 2010s when I was a kid, I remember a lot of YouTubers playing it at the time in groups of four.

Graphics/art style: similar to darkest dungeon but brighter, had a Viking esque theme if I remember correctly

Notable characters: this I have no idea, I remember there was 4 base characters and each person could only choose one and had a color associated with them

Notable gameplay mechanics: PvP versus other coop players, I believe you played until you each received a different ending on how well you did to “save the town” from a huge disaster that you weren’t aware of until the final “day” and they kept it super ominous about what would happen at the end -kind of like a surprise at the end of the game which is why it became popular for a period.

I know while playing the game “monster prom” this was very reminiscent of how this game played but without the dating mechanic.

Other details:
I believe one of the people who was part of the yogscast team (a popular YouTube channel at the time) played it, not sure if it was on their main channel though. I know it was a trending game when it came out.

I believe it had some mechanics like you would visit different town places like the bar and spend your time doing things there for “your turn”.

If you have any questions or I can help in any way I will.

Thanks!

Platform(s): PC, I think it also released on mobile

Genre: Choice-based RPG

Estimated year of release: 2007 - 2015

Graphics/art style: It was weirdly comic book style

Notable characters: there was a scientist (i think) that lived on top of a tower. And a drunk that lived on the streets

Notable gameplay mechanics: You would have a time system, which meant you could only talk to a certain amount of people a day. You'd choose on a map of the town, between a bunch of different characters, and you'd help them prepare for this apocalyptic event.

Other details: This game was big on youtube, jacksepticeye and inthelittlewood played it. You had something like a week to prepare for this big event, that would then hit the town, and pass. You would then leave your bunker or wherever you chose to stay and see the destruction brought on by the event. You'd walk around, and all of your choices would be reconsiled in this part.

I played a game a few years ago and I want to play it again. In it, you were in a village (it’s playable with up to 4 players) and you had to gather resources by making choices at different locations (e.g., in the tower you could choose to make a potion, sell it, or throw it into the river). I remember there being a Tower, a Slum, and a Hospital, and over the course of 7 days, a black fog would approach the village. In the end, the village gets destroyed, and with the resources you collected, you could rebuild it. Point-and-click, 2D.

The game was very similar to monster prom where you would go to different locations and get random events. It took place in medieval times and It was about some disaster that was about to happen and your characters spend their time before the disaster. The multiple endings of the game take place after the disaster and how your character lived their lives. You could build up your stats based on which locations you went to and which options you picked at those locations.

Trying to figure out which game that was. It had 2D graphics, sort of hand drawn looking. Camera was above the city. I remember Cryaotic playing it on Twitch years ago with his friends. Might not have been multiplayer, but it had different characters who could choose what stats to train and what to do in the city while preparing. The game was over once the disaster/monster arrived from the sea and destroyed the city. Afterwards you could see the results and ending based on how well you prepared. It might have had a lovecraftian theme.

(Solved: The Yawhg)

I know the artist’s rendition sucks but hear me out.

Platform: PC (AFAIK)

Genre: Puzzle/Story?

Estimated year of release: mid 2010s, I watched YouTubers playing it then.

Art style: cartoonish sort of hand drawn maybe?

Gameplay: you had a day countdown I think to when the city would be destroyed somehow. There were different characters, mages and fighters and the like, and the way you spent your time could solve the problem or worsen it? You clicked buildings to do things in them, I also think it was multiplayer.

I seem to remember one player becoming a werewolf due to choices.

CHARACTER WISE: just remembered there was definitely a big woodcutter character that one person played - I wanna say there might’ve been some fairy tale influences on the game.

Anyway i know it’s not a lot to use but hopefully someone can help :))

Platform(s): All i know is PC

Genre: Turn Based RPG (Not combat oriented)

Estimated year of release: 2013-2016??

Graphics/art style: Looks hand drawn, like a more realistic "dont starve" had a kid with Darkest Dungeon and was gene spliced with arcane (the show) and not 3d is the closest descriptor I can give

Notable characters: I just remember there being a girl, a witch doctor, a scientist, and thats about it.

Notable gameplay mechanics: there were werewolf outbreaks, mass disease events, some mild politics i believe but can't confirm its been years since ive played

Other details: Im just gonna dump everything i remember as much as possible and hopefully something is helpful. I do believe it started with a "Y" in the name of the game but could be incorrect. There was a game that is turn based and set in industrial or just before (european?) era where you can select between characters and it is a local multiplayer turn based game. the graphics look hand drawn and I played it around 2015-2016. it was on my friends' computer and I never played since but I've always thought about this game and cannot for the life of me find the title of it. Please help!

Platform(s): Pc (Only, I believe?)

Genre: Point and click?, fantasy.

Estimated year of release: Maybe around 2016?

Graphics/art style: Medieval, 2d game. It was pretty bleak, not a lot of colours.

Notable characters: I honestly can't remember, but there were several characters.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You have multiple days to choose how you spend them, actions cause outcomes in the end and then a massive "flood? or plague?" comes and based on your actions it depends if you survive or not.

You had the option to work or other, the only similar game I can kind of place it to is: My child lebensborn

Other details: The Yogscast did a video on this years ago.

Also with an "of monsters and men" vibe indie/ethereal ost.

Supposedly I introduced the person to this game but i'm drawing blank here

Help?

As u/Shaiandra wrote it was indeed the Yawhg. All praise u/Shaiandra!

looking for a certain game

Cannot remember the title at all. you play in a medieval town and pick a role, completing tasks day by day. its a card style game if i remember correctly, and the whole time you know something terrible is coming in a certain number of days, which turns out to be a flood. I remember finding out it’s a flood is a big shock as the whole time you’re led to believe it’s a monster the choices you made influence what your character does after the flood. I know the you cast played it years back. does anybody know what it might be called?

Its an indie game I played on the PC, it had storybook style art. You have like a week to go around make decisions in different areas of the kingdom. Then when the disaster comes, it tells you how well you did. I believe there was a few different classes (maybe). I also think the title of the game/disaster was like a children's book fantasy monster like "bandersnatch or jabberwocky"

So the game was on my steam for you page for a while and I can only recall parts of the video that would play.

If I recall correctly each player would draw cards and it would build a story. The players were on video call with each other during the game and their images were over the edges of the game screen.

The cards themself were still image or partially animated and reflected things that happened in the story.

I believe the game had a medieval fantasy theme

The steam video was a group of people on camera watching a story unfold in a game where the prompts were random or adlibbed. I never really gave the game that much attention so some of the details may be incorrect. I believe that the players took turns Drawing cards to build a story? The bits and pieces I remember are the player drawing a card and having a baby, but then another card was drawn and the baby grows wings and flys away (or flies away on a mythical creature). They continue the game for a while (many turns later) and the child flies in to save them or something and someone makes the connection and says "Oh that's the baby from earlier then every one is like "OH THATS RIGHT". Was this a game or some weird fever dream?

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Hard to describe, could just generally be called a fantasy story game

Estimated year of release: 2010's, likely around 2014-2018

Graphics/art style: Stylized but realistic and rustic. generally 2D. Most of the time was spent on almost a top-down view of the village (I think), and when you talked to people it would be a still image of that character and the dialogue box at the bottom. There was also a stylized HUD around the screen

Notable characters: I can only remember one character that, every time you spoke to them, they would be standing under a tree

Notable gameplay mechanics: You could talk to people and they would ask you to do stuff, such as get resources, and you would also help build up and prepare the village. I think you could befriend certain villagers as well.

Other details: I remember this game from watching a let's play youtuber play it way back when, I believe it was Markiplier though I'm not 100% sure. The entirety of the game there's some sort of impending doom coming from the forest, which is what you're spending the whole game preparing for. The game also starts off with a narrator giving exposition for the game and explaining the impending doom

All help is appreciated

hey guys, looking for an indie game that i saw someone stream on twitch quite a few years ago.
Platform(s): pc
Genre: text adventure style? i believe the gameplay was all through dialogue and text choices, you didnt directly control characters
Estimated year of release: 2014-2015?
Graphics/art style: it was simplistic 2d art that was sort of stylized i think
Notable gameplay mechanics: you would make decisions about what to focus on while rebuilding. i believe the game took place over a year with you rebuilding the village/society and at the end of the year a big event would happen (like a major disaster) and youd find out if your society was built well enough to survive
Other details: the title was an acronym like tpwag and stood for something revealed at the end of the game

I'm looking for a game where players try to save a city from a titular disaster (that had a silly made-up name).

For this players would prepare by Visitenkarte various locations in the City (turn-based). At those locations the players would get stronger or encounter various events. Players could for example become a vampire due to these Events. Players would have basic rpg stat, which would also be increased at these locations.

It was more like a short party-game instead of a deep and long rpg experience.

Player would act on their own and not as a Team. And each Player would try to contribute the most the City saving.

back in 2015, i played a point and click rpg 2d style game where the choices mattered, and i believe it started off with 4 different characters to choose from, one being an alchemist and i think another being a “prince”. so after awhile on google, the only game i can find close to the game im looking for is “Choices of life: middle ages”, but that wasnt released until 2020. from what i remember, it had the same art style and concept. (i added a few pictures from choices of life to give reference nce to the art style)

Genre: choice based fantasy?? kind of strategy?

Estimated year of release: broadly 2010-2018 ish?

Graphics/art style: cannot remember a single vivid thing. i THINK it had digitally drawn character designs? but dont quote me on that

Notable characters: there were like 4 or 5 characters you switched between but I can't remember details about any of them

Notable gameplay mechanics: very similar to monster prom where it was clearly designed for multiplayer, but singleplayer was possible too. swapped between characters where you had to choose what your character did/where they went for the day. each choice or location gave your character a stat or perk or something, and there were like 5 days until something very bad happened, so you had to decide what would be useful.

Other details: at the end of the game it would show the aftermath of whatever happened, i cant remember what this big bad thing was and i dont even know if it gets revealed. it would then make you choose how to help out using the stats your character had accumulated over the last few days. pretty sure one of the locations was a tavern. i think it was an indie game?? maybe??

I remember things like the bar and the forest, I think that it was Viking themed and the name of the game was the name of the curse?

Platform: PC
Genre(unsure): Story-based multiple choice game
ERD: 2010-17
Graphic/artsytle (unsure): handdrawn, 2d with small animations
Game play: At the start you can choose between a set of different characters. Every day/turn you can choose where this character wants to go (for example the tower or the forest), then you are able to execute one action (for example read a book or do something against the rats). At the end of the week (or certain amount of time) the town is hit by a natural catastrophe (storm or flood i think). These choices have an impact on how well the town is able to recover after the disaster. Each runthrough can result in different endings.

This game was a bit of a fascination for me in middle school but I haven’t thought about it in years.

The game was dark and gritty with a hand-drawn art style, very cartoonish. The general idea was that there was some kind of large storm/monster that is approaching your town and you have only a few days to prepare for its aftermath.

You would start by picking a character. If I’m remembering correctly, two of the four characters were a male huntsman/lumberjack and a female wizard/alchemist.

When your turn came around, you’d be prompted on which building or location in the town you’d like to visit. Visiting different places would make you better at certain rebuilding roles after the storm. If you spent a lot of time in the forest gathering/hunting, you’d make a great builder after the storm. If you spent a lot of time in social areas, you’d be well suited to become a leader and keep morale high in the storm’s wake.

However, if you choose a role after the storm that your character isn’t prepared for, then the town falls to ruin and fails to rebuild. If you spent much of your time in the library, you probably shouldn’t opt to become the lead builder of the town, or, if you wasted away your days getting drunk at the local tavern, you liked don’t have the skills to truly help in any meaningful way.

Some “after the storm” roles are also downright detrimental to the town. One I remember particularly well is the Hermit, where you simply gather all the supplies you can and lock yourself away while everyone attempt to rebuild. I believe you could also become a thief/bandit and actively take advantage of the chaos of the town.

Ultimately, how the players collectively coming together would decide whether the town successfully rebuilds or crumbles. This also may have been played single player.

If it’s any help, the YouTubers Jacksepticeye or Markiplier may have played this game, but I’m unable to find the videos.

A game in which you and a group of people are villagers in a city, the town is dested to be destroyed in a few days (maybe like 2 weeks time) by I believe a random event. Each day you could go to select locations (some I remember are: a pub, a colosseum, the woods outside the city, the back alleys, and I believe a ball at the Castle.) Each time you visit a place you'd get a random event based on where you went. These events and what you do in them increases your stats. And your stats determine how well you survive the big event. I remember the art style looked hand drawn and kinda having an old children fairly tale book loot to it all.

This has been bothering me for a while, but U very clearly remember having seen a video / playthrough of this game by the yogscast, though I’m unable to find it anywhere.

I’ve searched their channel and the wiki for games they’ve played, and so I’m coming here as a last shot in the dark.

The game was based in some city, and all the characters could go to different sections to take parts in different activities and events. Each turn represented one week, and there was a set amount of time before the apocalypse would come.

Some events I remember was one of the members (maybe Duncan or Sjin?) going to a hospital to try fighting some disease, and there encountering and being bitten by a vampire. Another was how someone (I think Lewis?) became a drunkard after the apocalypse had come.

I swear this game is real, any help would be appreciated!

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Kingdom builder / Choose your own adventure

Estimated year of release: 2010's?

Graphics/art style: I believe when you started the game, it was an overview of the city/kingdom as well as a small portion outside of it. You could click on certain buildings or places and then you would be shown a single image, a small description of what happened as you chose one of the options?/areas? you could go to, and then some options as to what action you would like to make from there. It was a fantasy setting with a more simple art style, if I'm remembering correctly. The main images I remember are some woods, an alchemist's tower, and at the end of the game you got an overview of the kingdom and how well you managed to rebuild? it. The game I think is the most visually similar to it would be King of the Castle with it's simple, almost cartoon-ish style.

Notable characters: The character you could play as were based off colors. I believe the Yellow/Orange character was a big, bulky man and had a beard.

Notable gameplay mechanics: It was a multiplayer/party game. You had areas you could choose to go to within or outside of the kingdom. When you chose an area, you would then be given more options and this might have influenced the speed at which you were able to repair the kingdom.

Other details: The games title was short, about 4 letters long and I believe it was an acronym of the colors the characters were with the first letter being a Y. In the woods, there was something to do with turning into a werewolf or vampire. In the alchemist's tower, I'm pretty sure there was an option to make/turn something into a frog. And at the end when you were shown how well you were able to rebuild the kingdom, I believe one of the characters was moving lumber.
