hi, noticed my and alexan310 names appear twice in the list.
are they just replicated or are they taking someone else's spot in the list?
Comment has been collapsed.
I failed copy pasting (I apparently didn't select the whole old list of names when pasting the new one over), fixed now, thanks for letting me know! :)

😮😱Is it a record? So many already! Just WOW
Has the mouse's profile pic become pinker?:D
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say so. I expect every day fewer new faces, but nevertheless we have several per day O_O
Which is a good thing, if it means that people are playing their wins :D
Comment has been collapsed.
thats what i think whenever i see mouse go apply to the group, its like huh still new faces?
Comment has been collapsed.
Has to be, we are at 75 people who beaten a game already and it is only the 6th of the month. Last month we had 89 in total. Its absolutely insane.
Pink was the original colour of my avatar. I only switched to black(ish) colour to fit my Steam background earlier this year. I only have my Christmas themed avatar in pink so it will stay pink for a bit now ;)

Never realized that your avatar changed O_O
must be more tired than I thought.

To my defense I am only half awake since I had nightshift last night and have nightshift agaqin today and have mostly read on my phone.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh lots of night shifts. good job for doing that as well as this
Comment has been collapsed.
well if it only were night shifts everything would be fine, but I am on a rotating shift cycle, so 2 early shifts (6am-2.30pm), 2 late (2pm-10.30pm), 2 nights(10pm-6.30am), 3 free days (that you use mostly to catch up on sleep) rinse and repeat.

Hmm this is gonna be a tough month I think. My 2 options from wins I have remaining are Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus or finishing Terraria, not confident I'll have time for the latter esp being December but will have to see.
Thanks to everyone who's contributed GAs throughout the year and now the advent calendar, you're awesome. :)
And of course all the work just to keep up with these posts & the site, it's very appreciated. Happy holidays!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea this month is a bit of a problem for people who don't have many short wins sorry :( we just wanted to make it a bit exciting for people.
Considering I don't really see how Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus fits at first look (same for Darksiders I found you still have unplayed on BLAEO) and Terraria has been partially played, you have my blessing to submit a normal backlog game instead :)
Thank you to you for participating :) and happy holidays to you as well!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah I watched the dev's pre-release vlog and he mentioned painting your units a diff colour. From further searching you can change the overall colour of the faction but not individually.
I'll plan on using my normal backlog then unless something else comes up, thank you. :)

For Horizon Chase Turbo: a car is not a character. Can you actually customize the driver or just the car?
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, I assumed it was bc of all the colour customisation. I deleted it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Depending on the level of customization (if you can apply decals the way you want or stuff like that) you might be able to put it under "Games where you decorate something".
Comment has been collapsed.
Distraint colorful in a creepy kind of way, also 2d. Distraint 2, why not? Layers of Fear for the mystery. Probably there will be more when I find them.
Comment has been collapsed.
DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition you submitted was not a SG win (at least I only found the 2nd one)? Did it come together with the 2nd one or is it just a mistake?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it's a mistake. I actually started with the idea of playing the second one as it's a recent win and realized I hadn't played the first one yet. Now I realize that it wasn't a win but one of those freebie giveaways. Well, that's kind of like a gift, eh ;) Thing is I started Yoku's Island Express last night (2.3 hours) - any chance I could switch them out? I was going to ask if I could include that one anyway - I just wanted to play something, but I wasn't sure about the time zone thing. If not, it's fine, I'm sure I can find some other wins to play.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes ofc you can put Yoku's Island Express in. Fits under 2D easy. Also the whole playtime fits fine for December (Event officially started on the 30th of November at 00:00 UTC +1 and your first achievement is at 5:30AM for me)

I've only just today joined this website but would love to participate. I haven't won any giveaways yet so I'll be going with games in my backlog. I've got the knights of pen and paper 1 and 2 got the word paper in their title. steam world heist and steam world dig 2 these are 2d games. if I happen to win any giveaways that fit a category I'll play those too. also, I do hope I'm following the rules correctly if not let me know since I'm new thanks and good luck everyone.

I wonder if Tengami somehow fit the month theme. I thought put it under "Colourful", but game hasn't this tag in store. Also game is like 3D pop-up book, so this is related to paper, but game hasn't "Paper" in title. So I kinda confused. It would be nice to hear opinion of our mods.
Anyway I'll add something a bit later.

Hi, my 2 wins on SG (The red solstice, Shenmue) don't fit in the theme.
Can I play another game in my backlog? (Kathy rain (games with 2D graphic)).

I'll (try to) go with one or multiple of these:
Silence of the Sleep for 2D
The Initiate for Mystery in game
Night in the Woods for Mystery / 2D
Pyre for Steam gift
This is kind of a wishlist to play them, very much possible that there'll be a change. I'll upload finished games to the site / reply-edit here too :P

Hi there! I have a question: My submission for November was Dragon's Dogma. I just submitted the game as beaten but actually I'm going to play this game a bit more. I'm currently on the second run and looking forward to explore some DLC areas. Just wanted to be sure if it's okay to submit it for this month too. It suits well to this category: Games where you can change characters' appearances or outfits and I only have 74% of achievements.

Yes, you can just make it clear to me once you are done with your second run/exploring DLC for the approval :)

Welp, I'm on an extended visit with my family for Thanksgiving, so hopefully the advent calendar games I'm interested in aren't early on (assuming the implication is that you need to beat 1 SG win per day to see all of them).

Well if it is fitting under any of the themes it should be enough, since we do not really have a mandatory length requirement (see also here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/uuzPk/december-is-a-play-a-game-you-won-on-steamgifts-month-gift-wrap-advent-calendar-edition#pQ2tF3v).

I was planning to play Highrise Heroes for this month, as a "game with a mystery," but with the advent calendar going on I think I'll stick to something short and sweet. I'm playing David for now.

Just beat Marvin's Mittens! It looks so unassuming, but that's one of the loveliest gaming experiences I've had this year. Pure magic in parts. I'm chipping away at Hidden Paws now, though all the spinning and zooming around makes me motion sick. Not really optimal for a game that's supposed to be relaxing.
I felt a bit guilty for selecting just one short game for the advent calendar, but it has been nice playing all the wintery games in my regular backlog.

Well as long as there are corresponding tags for your game that fit the theme/category we obviously use them. That does not mean that when your game does not have those tags it cannot get approved, then you just need a good enough reason for why the game fits the category.

As for this event I'll start with:
The Secret Order 2: Masked Intent - Mystery game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Back for another end of the year month! The theme gives plenty of room for games but I'm lazy to figure out what games would qualify for some of them. So I decided to personally take it as a Mystery month since I seem to have plenty games with that tag on them. :D Let's start there and see how far I get, trying not to get as greedy as before.

Reply to this comments with your ideas for February's theme.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since Valentine's Day is in February, how about:
Love Is A Hurtin' Thing
Games tagged with "Cute", "Choices Matter", "Difficult", "Emotional", "Dating Sim", "Sexual Content", "Family Friendly", "Survival", "Romance", "LGBTQ+" or "Psychological Horror".
Games that have a Coop-Mode, Games where you can have a relationship, Games where the main character lost or is losing someone important, Sad or depressing games.
Games with a HLTB time of 14+, Games with 14+ achievements, Games that cost 14+ Points to enter a giveway.
Comment has been collapsed.
Psychologial Horror"
One of those things is not like the others :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Strange how you misspelled "Family Friendly" for the tag that is out of place.

I think it would be hilarious to see people playing horror games alongside all the dating sims. (Of course, this assumes they aren't playing a game that's both.)

Leap Year
- Games released or won in a leap year
- Games where you can jump
- Games with DLCs
- Games where you won the DLC
- Games where the process is divided into days/months/years
- Games where the Steam ID includes "29"
- Games where the number of participants or points needed is a prime number ¹
- Games where the protagonist / antagonist / companion is a monkey, dragon or rat ²
- Games with bonus chapters / levels
¹ I heard Mouse likes math :D
² Those are the possible chinese zodiacs in leap years

I'm sorry to hear that. At least changing the name of the theme is the easy part. I'm looking forward to your subthemes :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Since war theme is already submitted, to avoid too many similarities, I decided to submit a bit different one:
The Cake is NOT a Lie!
- Cooking games;
- Games with the words: "Cake" or "Sugar" or "Chocolate" in the title;
- Gamer with the teleportation mechanics;
- Games with the "Masterpiece" tag;
- Games with a Female Protagonist;
- Dark Comedy genre;
- Parody games;
- Split Screen games;
- Games released as the Remastered/Dexule/Remake versions;
- Games won on 29th (any month).
Special:
Play a regular backlog game (limited to 1 game per user, min 10h+ long)
Such special basically defeats the whole purpose of the event, but, maybe we can do this :)?
Comment has been collapsed.
Definitely defeats the purpose but there's actually a few people who already play their regular backlog and with 10+ minimum it will either make the people who play 1 game work for it or the people who do 2+ give them wins and 1 normal. Seeing that title when I'm playing portal 2 though is fishy. Clearly private profile is not private enough!

Garandro brought me to the idea of Valentines day so I suggest:
What is love? (Baby don't hurt me)
=
Games about love or with a love story
Games with "what" or "Love" in the title
Games with babies
Games where you don't hurt anybody
Games with a character named "Vladislaw" (or similar)
Games with a catchy record in their soundtrack
Games that were a number one hit in a list (i.e. steam charts)
Games that are philosophical

I am so glad someone suggested a theme with that title :D

Does the length of the game matter? Old Man's Journey is a colorful 2D game with the tag "mystery", but it's fairly short at only 1 1/2 hours. Also, it has no achievements, so how would someone prove they played? A screenshot of the credits or something at the end of the game?
Comment has been collapsed.
Length doesn't matter, a SG win is a SG win, I don't descriminate. Yep, screenshot to the ending can be just added as a link into the notes of the game on the website.

well, there is "We are also starting a day early" in text, so it means 30 Nov, and it's right now already in Europe, so it means I can start. I think :) It's just I'm still in 29 Nov, but Mouse will forgive me, I suppose 😅

"Games that look different on the outside than they are on the inside"
Can you give an example of such game, 'cause I don't understand this category?
Comment has been collapsed.
I will give you an example of one you played yourself: Pony Island. At the beginning it seems all innocent and it quickly evolves into something else. Basically a game that presents itself (at the beginning or trailer or description) as something when it reality it is something else.
Also I will take any other interpretation of the theme (and submitted games) as long as you can give a half decent explanation for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know anything about Eversion so can't say sorry :/
Ohhh that is why it was under that category! Fits perfectly then as well yes. I was actually going to ask you for an explanation but I saw it fit under 2D so I just moved it there because I thought it would be easier.
Comment has been collapsed.
Some games I can recommend that fit this are
OneShot, The Beginner's Guide, The Stanley Parable, Undertale, D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die -Season One-, LISA: The Painful
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi! As the creator of the theme, MouseWithBeer nailed what I meant. If you want some more examples:
- Doki Doki Literature Club, Hatoful Boyfriend, and Purrfect Date, all of which pretend to be lighthearted dating sims, but actually have horror elements.
- Omegaland, which pretends to be a simple platformer but has a deeper underlying plot.
- Fran Bow, which begins as a horror game but is much more like a fantasy adventure by the end, including having many monstrous friends who look scary but are actually kind.
- Little Inferno, which is a comedic fireplace simulator but also quite a bit more.
In general, I think you could probably make a good argument for any games with cute graphics that are actually dark, games that look like they'd be easy but are actually quite difficult, games that start off with one kind of gameplay but change partway, etc. Lots of wiggle room. I left it open to player interpretation on purpose.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for an additional explanation.
I myself came up with only 1 example - The Stanley Parable. It starts as simple walking simulator with a narration, but quickly turns into something much bigger

I have a question about 2 games: HITMAN™ 2 & Tropico 4 - in both games you can change the outfits but they have no tags for that on their Steam Store pages, can I still register them for Dec. ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry MouseWithBeer, this is a bit confusing to me but why is AbdAllahMohamedRefat entering with 3 games that are not SG wins when he hasn't even played through SOULCALIBUR VI which is a November SG win (won Nov 9th)? He's already finished 2 non-SG wins in Dec but not SOULCALIBUR VI, which was also a November participation game but it wasn't even played in November

It was an oversight from my part at the beginning for which it is my bad but it is too late for me to fix it now :/ But since the 6th of December they did at least play some of it (which is enough good enough, I ask for every SG win to be played not for every SG win to be beaten) and Everything doesn't fit any of the themes so from now on for this month it is OK.

Nah, you’re not to blame. It’s pretty hard to manually check up on everyone’s recently won games (you know I tried to sneak in non-SG wins before lol). I’m sure AbdAllahMohamedRefat knew he had to play his SG win but he just submitted 2 non-wins in Dec since he already got away with it in Nov.

You and Sam dedicate a lot of time and effort for this amazing monthly event, so wholeheartedly thank you
only just now I saw those posts, wasn't my intention to go around the rules or something.
But yeah low wins and I work on them as soon as I can, when a win pop after I laid my roadmap for the month kinda miss up my plans.. as the case for SCVI

Jane's post"Sorry Mouse.." was not a reply on me so as you know I didn't get a notification add to that it - XD - it was a week later.

I will go with Day of the Tentacle remastered as 2D and Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek as 2d/mystery. Will try to add something else later :)

You people are insane: 128 achievements, 29.8 hours and 12 games from 12 people already and it is not even December 1st yet. Warms my cold heart up :)

what about:
Games you won in any christmas event at steamgifts ;)

Sadly once a theme for the month is picked it is pretty much set in stone but you can suggest that for the following months :)
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe next year :D
added a little link to your advent calender edition in my topic :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you (or someone else) suggests it for next year because it is a really nice idea that I would have never thought of :)
Thank you! I shall return the favour as well in a sec :)

ah, I'm late, just finished mine. +5.1 hours, anyway :D

Then you can take part with your normal backlog, as long as the game fits the theme.

Does changing characters count as changing character appearance? I have no shortage of qualified wins thanks to "2-D" and "colorful", but there's one game that only has that one qualification which I might go for if it counts.
(The game in question is City Climber, and the difference between characters is purely aesthetic.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly no, changing your character is not the same as changing your characters appearance. Had a discussion about that with mouse while trying to fit in a game myself :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough. Maybe that'll show up in another theme later on!
Comment has been collapsed.
But what if you've already completed/beaten all of your SG wins and you've already completed your normal backlog as well? Oh well backlog is ruined again for a long time.
Comment has been collapsed.
buy more games that what you need to do. Or there is always replay the wont play games!
Comment has been collapsed.
What the hell o.o congrats! We I can offer you a key for a mahjong (2D) game that shouldn't take too long to complete if you want :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, thanks, that's ok I'm quite picky about what I add to my library but I appreciate the offer that's very kind of you :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Welp, someone ruined my backlog for a good long time, all is well in the world :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Well we all bow before you. I could offer a key for Bastion, if you are interested. It is colorful and has a 2D tag and can be beaten in 6 hours according to HLTB.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bastion seems like a cool game and I'd love to try it at some point but since some crazy person offered me the entire Witcher series I'll decline your very generous offer. I'll be busy for a while. I do really appreciate the thought.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well since we are playing an advent calender this time around I just wanted to give you something short and sweet so you have the opportunity to take part in all the advent calender GA'a since those are only available for one day each.
The Witcher is supposed to be a great series, so good luck with that :)
My offer still stands :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It has dawned on me that I would miss most of the advent event before I would be able to finish The Witcher (especially since I like to do everything). If you still feel ok with it I'd like to take you up on your offer and finish Bastion before continuing on with my Witcher adventure so I can participate in the advent event sooner.

There is a minor error in https://pagywosg.xyz/events/7. "SteamGifts thread" link leads to the page itself, not to this thread
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahhh right, the event on the website was made before the thread on SG so I just used a placeholder and forgot about it. Thanks for letting me know, I will fix it in a second :)
Edit: fixed, thanks again!
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, I just discovered this, or maybe rediscovered?
I remember when it started many years ago, but while i liked the idea all those manual tasks somehow repulsed me from participating. I know there were recurring topics made, but I haven't checked whats going on in them for months. Now I decided to see what's this all about when MachinesAreHuman included this topic in the X-mas events list.
Great job with event/page/group. Have a bump!
Comment has been collapsed.
With manual tasks I assume you mean having to update a comment with playtimes yourself and stuff? Because those were sure some dark times. Nowdays basically everything is automated other than people submitting the games to the website. Saves me a whole bunch of time every month :)
Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly that. Without a page(and a database), making screenshots of everything to document the progress seemed at least problematic for both sides.
The initiative has evolved nicely since then. Well done and thanks for your efforts! Now, without those obstacles, it's an even greater contribution towards SG community than it used to be back then.
I know it may sound silly from somebody who did not even notice how much the form of PAGYWOSG has changed before stumbling upon a direct link to this topic, but I remember the old days when SG was much more lively and really appreciate such community building activities

Hey, I would love to approve your submission of Blackwell Deception but I am gonna need you to put your playtime info to public at least long enough for the website to sync your playtime (the achievement are visible, but the playtime is not). In case you don't know how to do that you can find the instructions in the 2nd paragraph here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fixed, I was sure I unchecked it before submitting the results, my mistake

I ran the update playtime script and it picked up your playtime now so:
Congrats on beating a win for December is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month, you can request to join the group here if you want. Giveaways are available on the website.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you!
Good to know it's done manually. When I switched the status at first I was wondering if I did everything correctly as it didn't show any playtime or achievements, but figured that either steam community is not working correctly or maybe it's just scheduled to run at specific time. The FAQ only contains this which gave me the impression that it's just refreshed on entry submission/update
Comment has been collapsed.
Join request approved :)
The playtimes update when I run a command on the server (which I usually do 1-3x a day depending on the amount of approvals needed). It is supposed to actually run automatically by itself once an hour, but it for some reason doesn't work and I sadly haven't gotten around fixing it yet.
Oh I can totally see how that can sound misleading, I will try to reword and make it clearer next time I have to update something on the website, thanks for the feedback :)

Uf, game beaten! And I think this is my world personal record. XD

Thanks for the event, I finally played a wonderful game I had in my library for a long time and it was awesome. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I blame you early shifts and christmas party that made me so tired that I litteraly fell asleep several times while playing the game :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Sammy you are way to hard to find for a normal question, that doesnt over take someone elses comment. When the time comes to me finishing all my wins I don't have to actually finish Dark Rose right? I played it for a few hours and I really don't want to be returning to that game until I have to. Between dark rose and dark souls I might leave D to the last letter damn
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends on what you mean with a few hours. If you've given the game a fair chance and it is simply not for you that's fine. If you idled it for a few hours for cards, without every trying the game, it is obviously not.
How do we judge that? Well if you have several hours of playtime but no achievements you most likely just ideled the game (especially if there are easily obtainable ones).
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm no idea how much I played it. got 25 hours and 16 (31%) achievements so probably around 10ish hours. Going off the eliminations missions I was in the 4th mission out of 12. So its not the most progress and I dont actually mind carrying on since I really should finish it but thought id ask any way
Comment has been collapsed.
That's more than a fair try. I would say you are good on that one. So no worries.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh we got a clear voting winner so better start preparing my games for next month
Comment has been collapsed.
And mouse thinks I am crazy with preparing a new list a week prior to when I need it 🤣
Comment has been collapsed.
i made my current list 2 days into the voting phrase! I got to know what my options are. Like if I can fit in a game that doesnt fit in the next month it would be better to do that first. Like I knew broken sword 5 could fit this month so I took my time playing it
Oh I looked into the theme hmm this is gonna require work since I have no idea what I got that can include anything like that except sunrider and I want to wait for the 4th game to come out so I kinda want to wait before I play that :/
okay bayonneta fits so there's something
erm sunrider and ummmmm I dont know anything!
tales of zesty works
no idea about cognition so I got a couple of longs one
Comment has been collapsed.
My list is sorted I got like 5-6 since Idk if cognition is time travel or not since I only see. see into the past
so 4-5 when I get rid of sunrider, wheres it damn sequel!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm honestly I would have to ask mouse if "seeing into the past" can be classed as timetravel-
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah i wasnt even classing it as a time travel thing. more like if she sees into the past are we gonna actually go into the past in this game or is it like adam wolfe where you just see certain events happening but cant actually go into the past properly and I believe its like adam wolfe
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe ask Queen Nin. I think she played the game in the past.
Comment has been collapsed.
good idea very smart
she played it 3 years ago thats a long time ago to remember something like that
Comment has been collapsed.
Well she told me some time ago that it is one of her favourite games, so it might have stuck .

Welcome to the first ever PAGYWOSG ADVENT CALENDAR EDITION (yeah we are crazy enough to try this).
From Dec 1st, there will be a new GA every day, running until the end of that day. This will obviously be going on until the end of Christmas (it's an advent calendar after all). When is the end of Christmas you ask? Since Mouse's most favourite slave is from Germany and we celebrate until December 26th, this event will run until then.
We are also starting a day early so you have a bigger chance to finish a game in time to join every single giveaway you would like :)
And don't forget to take a look at the Steamgifts-Community-Christmas-Calendar 2019!
The theme for this month is
Gift Wrap
(Thank you to APocketfulofStars for the suggestion!)
Games that qualify for it are:
Games with mysteries
Games with gacha/lootbox mechanics
Games with 2D graphics
Games with the word "paper" in their titles
Colourful games
Games where you can change characters' appearances or outfits
Games that were sent to you as Steam gifts - Please provide some kind of proof, this can be either a screenshot of your licences page, a screenshot of the email from Steam telling you that your received a gift or a link to your Steam review for the game.
Games that look different on the outside than they are on the inside - please explain how you think the game you choose fits under this category
Games where you decorate something
Games with unlockable graphical styles/changes
You can submit this months games you are going to play here:
https://pagywosg.xyz/events/7
(this month only on the website due to the logistics of sending out giveaway links, next month we are going back of not needing to use the website, sorry for the inconvenience)
FAQ
What GA's can we expect?
Well take a look at the comment bellow. You should find a list of all games in this calendar in there, obviously not in the order they will appear, what would an advent calendar be without surprises.
But wait, where are the games for the Christmas days?
Those are kept secret until the day of the GA, but we will tell you this much: they are from the top of the PAGYWOSG groups wishlist.
How can I qualify to take part in this calendar?
This is PAGYWOSG ADVENT CALENDAR EDITION, so you have to beat a game you won on SG (or from your backlog, if you do not have qualifying wins) that fits the monthly theme for the GA links to be revealed on the event webpage.
EXCEPTION: The very first day of this calendar will be accessible to all participants, who have beaten a game in PAGYWOSG November event.
I also want to sponsor a GA for the PAGYWOSG ADVENT CALENDAR EDITION. How can I go about this?
Please let your intentions be know to us in the event thread. We decided that in the case of extra GA donations for this special event, those will be added to the days after Christmas until new year.
Congrats to everyone who successfully participated last month, here are the final statistics:
Hope to see you all again this month :)
