I would very much like to replay a game that i played years ago.
You play as a little girl in your house with a scandenavian theme. You are searching for specific items that your father asked you for and you obtain a blue sparkly sphere
Ring a bell with anyone?

Hi Lisa! Was this a casual game or an adventure game?

Casual -- a little paranormal -- point and click - full colour with lovely graphics

I moved you to the right forum now. Hopefully someone can help you think of the name!

Would this be Arkhangel-House of the Seven Stars? New update on Steam I think.

No it is not - but thank you for giving it some thought

This game sounds like Roki to me - could that be the one? It was announced in our Adventure Games forum when it was first released.

from Mixed Bags to Adventure to casual and possibly back to Adventure. The thread is an adventure all by itself.

No not Roki
You play as a little girl (first person) you do not see your characterr but just act out as her
You walk around a house that has a scandanavian feel, looking for clues - I believe you are looking for clues as to what happened to your mother
Living room - kitchen - bedrooms - all with small puzzles to aquire the object you are looking for and obtain a sparkling blue orb
I have raked through my Steam collection of 500 games and it just is not there
this is going to drive me nuts LOL

I will think about it some more, but it may be a game that I don't have, unfortunately. I was thinking A Tale for Anna, but in that game you see the main character.

Thanks Marian for giving it a try
I have a horrible feeling that I may have bought it directly from the developer and then lost it completely when cleaning up icons from my desk top (not realizing it was the executable file) LOL

I sure hope that isn't what happened. That would make it really hard to track down!

i think I remember playing a demo of this game and I really enjoyed the demo. but, for the life of me I can't remember the name. it was several years ago. and if I am remembering the same game, it was an adventure. and your dad gave you a list of the things you had to find?

Yes!! I believe that is it! You do not leave the residence - you wander around the house - up in your bedroom etc -- I have googled every variation to find it as well
You find something in a pair of rubber boots near a door - you try to reach for something up high in the kitchen
I wonder if it was a demo which was never completed?

Found out what it was!! It is a memory sequence for April Ryan in Dreamfall -- who would have thunk it! LOL

Ah, so it wasn't a casual game but rather an adventure after all. Maybe if we had moved your post back to the Adventure Game Discussions forum, someone might have thought of it. Glad you got it figured out!
