This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

This community is mainly for finding a specific game title. If you are looking for game suggestions, !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip is the place to be.

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

This syntax and our template further down makes it easier to find your game, so please use it.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

What makes this game interesting to me is that it was one of the victims of a wave of censorship affecting many sites. It got blacklisted by Steam and Itch, but the creator started her own website (which I sadly could not locate in my bookmarks).

You're given an old iMac/Win95 interface, and try to guess E-mail passwords and correlate old terms to find information about a relationship with a content creator with a name like "Candy", who makes a certain kind of grim snuff video.

A way in which the game develops is that there's a message board trend where the audience for those videos increasingly wants content involving brutal harm that feels, or even "is" real.

The game's creator is also a woman, who hoped that the "grossness" of the subject matter, especially as it turns out you are playing as the PC's real owner, would draw attention to the sorts of victimization people in that industry suffer.
