Tell Me Why, by the makers of Life is Strange, free for the remaining days in June (because Pride Month)

Jwalt, I'm getting 'video unavailable'.

It is. This would have been clue #3:

It's not.

Same game, I swear. Also, the pixelation was not made by me but it's a filter that gets applied when your character wears nothing.

Nope, that's just a hint.

Distrust

That appears to be the main character from Hob!

Your turn.

First picture didn't look familiar (you cleverly hid the distinctly-shaped characters), but the second one clearly is Jazzpunk (the font and the weird tech).

I do look up pictures, but only in the way that I type in the name of the game to confirm I'm right and I'm not posting wrong answers. Nothing like tineye or similar.

I can't think of anything good, next round is up for grabs.

Prey (2006)

Sure, I played both TLD games. And when I saw DD first it reminded me of them, too. But the combination of detective and missing face, in addition to DD being more recent, is why I made the mental connection.

The missing facial features make your detective character look like a slightly higher resolution version of Francis McQueen from The Darkside Detective. I guess you both tapped into that stereotypical getup.

With so many tracks, how do you make sure you are not accidentally copying yourself?

That reminds me, I don't know what the point of the saloon-style doors (if they even deserve that name) is. Gotta go look it up.

Monsieur OUXX, how about ko-fi.com ? Goes through Paypal.

Do I need to have a Ko-fi Profile to support a creator?
It is possible to support a creator as a guest without creating an account on Ko-fi. If you see the "Log in or Sign up" message under the support button, you are not logged into Ko-fi and will be supporting as a guest. The creator will only see a name or message on Ko-fi if you include one in your donation. Choosing to support a creator without creating your own supporter account means you will not have access to any Supporter-Only post or Gallery images.

I never played this game but the song got stuck in my head. Not because it's any good. It just did.
