Name the Game

Chrille · Mon 18/06/2018 19:18:25

Hint: It's a new game, so new it isn't even officially released yet.

Click'd · Mon 18/06/2018 20:15:02

Isn't that cheating?

Frodo · Mon 18/06/2018 20:24:42

If it's not even released yet, how are we supposed to guess?

ManicMatt · Mon 18/06/2018 20:30:14

In their defence, there's no actual clear rules for these games, but yes I agree it should be a game/film/tv show that's been released, otherwise we open the floodgates to cancelled games, films still being shot and so on. Also, please tell me that isn't a game you're promoting for!

Is that the Quest for Infamy sequel -Roehm to Ruin?

Chrille · Mon 18/06/2018 21:31:49

Figured someone might recognize it as it's the work of some well-known veterans when it comes to adventure games. There is a demo available, it's currently in beta testing, so it's not necessarily that hard to guess.

CaptainD, nope, but that's not too far off, actually!

Mandle · Tue 19/06/2018 00:06:32

Quest For Glory sequel?

Gurok · Tue 19/06/2018 01:15:48

Naughty Chrille! It's the Hero-U alpha/beta. Mandle can have it, as he basically guessed it without naming it.

Mandle · Tue 19/06/2018 11:11:41

I did? Oh, okay. Screenie coming soon!

I remember someone posting a screenshot of a Hero's Duty from Wreck it Ralph. That game doesn't even exist as a real game! Yet no one had any problem with it, and it was guessed quickly.
So, I think it depends on whether or not the game was released, and if it isn't, is it well known.

ManicMatt · Tue 19/06/2018 19:17:41

Well, they certainly thought it was well known, so I disagree, but I don't make the rules!

And you also posted another game which was yet to appear quite recently.

So, it's been done before, and I don't understand why people suddenly started complaining about guessing games not yet released.

Frodo · Wed 20/06/2018 09:55:53

Can we use games that are actually released from now on?

TBH I think that would be nice - unless maybe it's stated that the game in question is still in production etc?

I did think that was a weird entry, more like we were trying to work out the letters rather than actually recognising the image.

Wasn't that kind of a fun challenge for a change though?

Heh-heh, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the time I put up a screenie of Polybius, a game that has probably never existed, well the original at least.

Anyway, here's a cropped one:

Dragon's Lair?

Dragon's Lair?

Not cropped quite enough though it seems...

I didn't see the sword icon in the bottom right until I posted it full-size. Did that give it away?

Over to you!

Gurok · Wed 20/06/2018 11:00:26

Given the play-style of Dragon's Lair, I think it's that I've seen that backdrop too many times.
