The time has once again arrived to start a new Name The Game thread.

Demosthenes is IT, having supplied the following clues:




Incorrect guesses so far: Rayman and Barbie: A Mermaid Adventure.

(If anyone wishes to see the last page of the Onomatopoetic Ode to Name the Game thread, it's here. )

The thread title begins as a doffing of the hat to the highly anticipated Harry Potter book, due out in just a few days....

Is it Lighthouse? I'm thinking of chatty Lyril.

Nope, not Lighthouse either. This one's fairly obscure.

Clue the Third:

All this trouble for a goldfish?

Wild Guess -- Space Bar?

Hm. Still not it. Okay, so I went really obscure on this one. Oh well.

Clue the Fourth:

Although you can't die, you CAN get arrested, which ends the game.

Is it an oldie called Fish?

I'm going to guess the game Dead Reefs. LOL

Ceremony of Innocence?

I can't find the thread or get to it, for the first few clues.Oh! I found the thread it comes back here. Hope this is the latested 'cause I got lost for a bit.

Hi Ellimay -- yes, this is the latest! All the previous clues are listed in my original post on this thread, and I've linked to the previous thread too.

P.S. I liked your guess of "Obscure."

This can't be Harvester cuz while you can get arrested it gets you killed i think. And while there is someone without legs in Harvester; it's a he and he's not even the main character.

I have no idea what game this is...........hhhmmmmmmmmmm

So, um, no one's guessed it yet.

Clue the....whatever number we're on now:

Like Kansas, much (though not all) of this game is in black-and-white.

Going back to my guess of "Obscure"
OOps nope can't be. DUH!.

Is it Chronomaster?

Well if it's Chronomaster that's simply not fair I was like 10 when it came out! Put something more recent pls

Maybe one of the Nick Bounty games?

H-okay, plot summary before I give up:

A ghoul named Mortia pokes around the Carnage-Val with a pet goldfish, trying to find out what the word "alive" means.

...

If no one gets it after that clue, I'm going to have to accept that no one else has played this little game, and...then what?

Sorry Demosthenes. The Carnage-Val?

I take it that the game is not named "Alive"?

No, it's not named "Alive"...

Speaking of which, your pet goldfish is named "Spooks".

*cough*
*hint*
*cough*

An independent game called " Spooks"

The story begins as Mortia finds herself in possession of a goldfish on a day out at the carnival. The prize she won from a game of darts is the catalyst of her adventure to seek the meaning of life.

Developer: The Ivy
Resembles: King's Quest IV, Grim Fandango

That was a tough one D. Hope I go this one.

Cough Hint Cough -- The Game.

Yep Ellimay, that's the one.

Remind me to never, ever choose an independently developed free game that's written in AGS and probably been played by a few hundred people. Even if it IS a fun little game.

LOL I won't . Had to do a lot of searching for that one. LOL
So Becky is that Game over and I don't get too Make you guess a game. After all my work >LOL

Sounds like fun actually, so am downloading as we speak.

We'll have to see if we can get it into Free Games Galore.

Ellimay -- you guessed correctly! Over to you --
