So! I've decided to make my first puzzle contribution to the forums. I've recently joined the community, more of a lurker. I really enjoy how there's a nicely developed culture of solving puzzles to enter giveaways. I suck at most of them, but I guess I'll get there someday :P

I made the puzzle a screenshot guessing game. I've picked 5 obscure Gamecube games. Why Gamecube? Because I damn loved that system growing up :P I have some 80+ games for it.

Note: all games to be won involve kitties in one way or another, and all games are unbundled steam games. Have fun.

<<SOLUTIONS>>

Q1: Geist
Q2: Odama
Q3: Lost Kingdoms
Q4: Amazing Island
Q5: Doshin the Giant

Solving this takes you to The Talos Principle GA
Finding the 5 hidden characters takes you to Fort Meow GA
Finding the 8 hidden characters takes you to It's Too Hard Puzzle #2
Which asks:
Before it has taken its symmetric shape, it enjoyed the sea. What was it?
Hint: This is related to the topic of the first puzzle. Any history buffs?
Answer: Dolphin, Nintendo Dolphin or Project Dolphin
Explanation: Before the Gamecube became that, it used to be called the Dolphin during development.
Solving this puzzle correctly takes you to the final GA: Catlateral Damage - 3 Copies

I don't know why, but I feel the need to reiterate myself about finding the kitties.

One of the 5 didn't come out in the US, just PAL regions, so your handicap was offset ;)

so I never played a gamecube game but I got 4/5 that first one is hard as hell to see can't even really tell what it is I like the pink dots better for the prevention of reverse image search. I guess I could try to bruteforce with 600 titles but nah I think i'll give up. I did finally figure out the first one but 2 lol nope.

Not surprised. Two are very late games in the poor console's life and a 3rd is PAL only.

Where do I look?

Ok since this has lost steam (hah) and I really need more people to make the giveaway valid, I will drop all cryptic pretense. The puzzle and the subsequent giveaway are NOT the end. Broaden your horizons! I said kitties (plural), not a singular kitty! :P

Your Illuminati skills are lacking :P
