u/Clarkz22

Platform(s): Xbox one for sure

Genre: sci-fi, single player , PVE, platformer/ exploration vibes, survivalist kinda, and light combat I think

Estimated year of release: I probably played it in 2020

Graphics/art style: anime styled characters and environment, very light and bright colors and gives a sense of no atmosphere to the planet and you can easily see the curve of the planet on the horizon like in Mario Odyssey , gives a sense of lighthearted floating

Notable characters: you play as a (blonde?) girl in some space onesie and I think you talk to some guy I don’t remember if we actually see him or not

Notable gameplay mechanics:
scavenging broken ships kinda like subnautica,
there are these orange berries that grow on like vines that stand straight up,
Figuring out what’s going on (kinda like subnautica)

Other details: I remember a couple voicelines:
The girl you play as is talking to someone maybe the guy I mentioned before (who may or may not exist) ; she’s trying to get some like engine part for her spaceship and I find a crashed ship with the part i need, and she mentions “you’d think it’s weird how every ship company agrees to use the same design of part, but no it’s actually because a long time ago one company bought everyone out so you have no choice but to use their design for this specific part”

Then at one point ur back in ur spaceship/ base and ur playing some text based game (like those old games that say [the wizard boss casts fire ball] [what do you do] {type here} and u could type whatever you want or choose from a set of choices to decide how the game plays out, like telltale but 8bit )
In the game ur flying saucer needs oil to fly back to ur planet from from the alien planet ur on, so u decide to take the two cows u stole for research and plant them under ground billions of years in the past to make the oil so u go back to the future and now u can dig the oil out and leave but u have no more cows for research

Also I think characters talk kinda like in visual novels or those dating sim games
Where their avatar will pop up next to a text box

I have no idea if any of this makes sense I’m sorry

[Platform] Xbox and maybe Xbox 360

[Genre] horror, not outright meant to be scary like resident evil but more like telltale walking dead scary

[Estimated year of release] I played this last was around 2016? So older than that as it wasn’t mainstream at the time of me playing it as I found it collecting dust in a buddies online library

[Graphics/art style] modern enough? Like can’t see the polygons that make up 3d models other than that idk

[Notable characters] pretty sure you play as some form of detective who might be dead?

[Notable gameplay mechanics] I remember these thing that used to scare the bejeezus out of me, they where like people made of black smoke or shadows? And you can’t let them get you, I remember being to scared to even continue the game cus I was a wuss. I think u can go in and out of dimensions or something to do with the ‘shadows’ I think your character is solving his own murder?

Other details: the thumbnail of the digital game is the back silhouette of a man holding a pistol in his right hand I think, and him kind of looking back at the “camera” over his shoulder, and his spine glowed orange like a Sandevistan (just not green obviously) from cyberpunk edgerunners and had the name of the game either top or bottom of picture the picture was completely dark almost neon blue, black, and grey kinda except for the glowing orange on his spine

Reference art: sorry I’m not Picasso I have up on drawing years ago,
