2.2 was a very special day, Groundhog Day!! I have prepared a special Maru-style puzzle for you, all drawn by me. Enjoy!! And yeah, Maru-style puzzle is an official term from now on, it means a puzzle involving crazy and time-consuming artwork as the major aspect.

Here's the story:

Did you know there are no games about groundhogs in Steam?? Just one DLC. Well, there is this evil groundhog warlock who isn't happy about that. So he's put a curse of groundhoggification on Steam on 2.2. All the characters in Steam games are slowly turning into groundhogs. All is not lost though, it will take one week for the curse to take full effect. This is your chance. To prevent the curse from taking permanent effect you must recognize the games that have already suffered the fate of groundhoggification. Shout out the names (or write them in the puzzle, that should also work) of all of these games to break the curse. You shall be rewarded if you succeed. You have one week, until 9.2.

tl;dr: name the games these groundhoggified (I'm sure that is an official term), characters are from. The games, not the characters themselves.

Here's the puzzle. Go for it, save Steam!!

The usual puzzle rules: no hints (here or in other sites), no answer sharing, no giveaway link sharing. Come on, I've worked on this puzzle for months, the least you can do is follow my rules. I will be giving out hints if I deem it necessary. Some questions have multiple correct answers, if those characters have been in many games.

Hint 1: all the games are available in Steam

Hint 2: there will be no more hints. There are already over 200 solvers so I guess my puzzle was pretty easy for most of you. My next puzzle will be a lot harder and multi-staged (I'm even considering including an "impossible" stage to it, that none of you will be able to solve :P).

Good luck everyone!! Break the groundhog's curse before it's too late!!

SOLUTION (sorry, I forgot to post this D:)

  2. Super Meat Boy
  3. Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod
