And another minor clue: in this game the character you're playing can fully traverse this little place. So it's not just some random scenery in the background. Although, I'd say going through this place is nothing special at all ;)

Ok. added third screenshot. But sorry for the second and third ones being "minor clues" instead of more detailed screenshots. Hopefully you know what kind of game this is by adding those elements to the first picture.

Nine Parchments? Not sure, though. Graphics look familiar.

Correct! 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6
Odd thing I found, while trying to post the last image, is that this game looks way too close of a copy of a game that released to early access around a year prior, by a completely different dev/publisher.

That's very weird, it does seem to be the same game, just with a small redesign for characters. Wonder if there is some explanation on steam community forums or if anyone else notices

Should be an easy one

I've seen that background before, think it may have even been in this thread.
Can't for the life of me remember what it was though.

That's a goal!

Not sure how niche this game is
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll jump in.
Maybe an easy one, but we'll see.
Hint: World War 2
Hint 2: Licensed game.
Hint 3: The story of the game takes place during the events of a film released at roughly the same time.

Sorry, no. Will add another hint or image shortly.

I'll try something a bit more forgotten like Mortyr?
Comment has been collapsed.
Had that in my mind at the first pic, then the others made me unsure, we'll see
Comment has been collapsed.
The first pic made me think of Day of Defeat, then the second and third threw that theory in the bin :))
At this point I'm just going through all the old ww2 games I've played over the years
Comment has been collapsed.
Not Mortyr, but thanks for introducing me to the game. Never heard of it, and it sounds kinda cool.
I've added one more hint.
Comment has been collapsed.
2003, hmmm, The Great Escape?
I still think I have a cd for it :)
PS: You are welcome for Mortyr.
Comment has been collapsed.
Going for another series then :)
Hidden & Dangerous 2, if its not this, I'm giving up. Can't really think of any ww2 from 2003ish that might fit the criteria.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, man. When I said "correct time period," I meant that the game takes place during World War 2. I should have been more specific. Why the hell didn't I notice that? My bad.
So yeah, take 2003 out of the equation.

A 2000s adventure game.

Look like a western game, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood ?

Gonna try something different based on vibes
Nancy Drew? (Don't even ask which 1)

I don't have a good guess, but feel compelled to say that Dartboard is not at regulation height.
So it is either a kids room, or the artist responsible for placing the level assets fucked up.

There are many nonsensical things in this game's world.
New image added.

No guesses right now, but the contrast of it being realistic in some screenshots and cartoony in others is disturbing

I doubt its this, but well,here goes nothing : Sherk?

I guess I don't know my adventure games....something from The Longest Journey series?

Jack Keane?
Edit: Never mind, it is Simon the Sorceror 4

- A very well reviewed adventure (exploration?) game, with puzzle elements, and a ginger protagonist.
- Third person, from the last decade.
- There are bots in the game. The protagonist has a mustache & is quite hairy in general.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is that an inspired guess for a game I have never even heard of, or did you image match it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I recognized this almost instantly because I've spent countless hours in my childhood NOT beating this game. I actually had to look up some gameplay footage again because I was only 99% sure it's this game, but then I found the key part that matched it and it was unironically that lock on the door which gave it away.
This game was made by a company in my country. I remember there was such a commercial thing going on with a "We cAn MaKe GrEaT gAmEs, tOo, yOu KnOw?" vibe. They praised this game way too much for what it actually was. Like 2 to 4 years ago, I tried beating this game again and ended up dropping it not because it was so difficult but because it wanted me to grind the hell out of the rest of the game. It was dragging on for no real reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well done then.
It's nice when such a nondescript looking screenshot find its perfect target audience.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you :D
The music of this game was quite nice, though. Especially that main menu theme was stuck in my head for all those years.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah, tried again a year ago, the grind in the end is punishing, around the fire rune in forest and endgame part i think, because you could suddenly need to lvl up a lot of fairies you haven't trained before A LOT
I just cheated level ups from console menu at that point to get to the ending
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly this was the part that made me quit lol...
I leveled up 3 to 4 of my fairies to 60 and still got destroyed by the fire fairies. The trick is to get some ice fairies from the mountain, I think. But yeah, that didn't feel like it would be worth it. Maybe I'll try in another 10 years :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it is. But it's the 3D Ultra Radio Control Racers Deluxe version. (Not that I know if there's any differences in these versions or if there's at least more than one version of this game lol)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh my god, Funk Flitzer! This was distributed as freeware on the included disc in a German PC gaming magazine back in the day! So many fond memories..
Comment has been collapsed.
Guilty! :D
Though I remember this disc was (also) in a cornflakes box. Nevertheless, it sure was a fun game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I remembered seeing a little of it after new one was announced...ot maybe it was some other ant game, there seems to have been a few of them in the last couple of years
Comment has been collapsed.
Back to me
Comment has been collapsed.
That is correct!
Was it the radio what gave it away?
Comment has been collapsed.
I wasn't sure if it's a true 2D game, or a 3D-ish with a 2D background, but the lock sign (that may be a UI element, or part of the poster?) reminded me the game, as I played some of it way too long ago - and that made the art style click as well :)
Comment has been collapsed.
High On Life?
If correct I will skip my turn, just couldn't stop myself from guessing
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct!
I was expecting it to take longer, what gave it away?
Comment has been collapsed.
A faaar from first image on some reverse image search site had similar snowy trees on a different stage of the game.

Let's start with a big image for a change
Comment has been collapsed.
Watch Dogs 2
Reverse image search was useless for this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct!
I didn't think anyone would get it from the first hint given how vague it is.. did you hack my computer or something? lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Watch_Dogs 2 or Driver: San Francisco would have been my two go to guesses.
Just a bit too location specific that sign.
Comment has been collapsed.
I went through way too many variations of "Silicon Valley in video games" searches.
What hint?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, I see..
By hint I meant the image itself, I've seen people caption it that previously
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, you mean the tool-tips. I wouldn't call the actual word "hint" a hint, as it hints at nothing.
While I'm usually filling it with ordered numbers, I like the ones where people fill some amusing description for the image (Murray / Shrek's abode), or send you on a goose chase :D
I wonder if GeekDoesStuff (who I'm guessing you took the habit from) has it copy/pasted from somewhere, constantly forgetting to replace the "hintx" tool-tips with some other text, or teaches us to ignore the hints, so that nobody will even try to look at it... until dropping a megahint which will go unnoticed :D
Comment has been collapsed.
oh, no, I just learned formating for website recently and write it by hand, hint1 ulr,hint2 url.
For some reason just never occured to me to give some description hint as well, even tho I'm aware i can change that. Or maybe I was being lazy with no ideas.
Will try to come up with something next time!
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't sweat about it, as a huge portion of image tool-tips on this entire site are either "cat" or "potato" anyway, regardless of what's in the image itself.

What is a boogaloo?
The Electric Boogaloo is a dance style that became meme-ified to denote crazy sequels, as popularized by the 1984 film Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. While we are not break dance battling here, it is kind of like a screenshot battle and hence, the "screenshot boogaloo".
