Fever_Discordia: OK, almost by accident we seem to have decided to start a new forum game where we describe where we're stuck in a game or just where we are generally and you guys have to guess what game it is, the correct guesser gets to set the next game to guess!

Depending on how hard this turns out to be it might be an idea to keep this to games on GOG (or have been on GOG, in the past, at least) - this one is currently on GOG at least:

OK I'm snooping around the chateau / fortress of the grand master of the BSORC, his dead body is laid out on a slab in one room while the next room is like a library-come-laboratory with books, and a sciencey area with a bunsen burner and jars of chemicals

There seems to be a puzzle involving these chemicals, measuring spoons and a series of 'magic number' squares positioned around the room


- what game is it?
Sounds like The Samaritan Paradox :)

Failing that The Cat Lady.
Is it one of the Dracula games?
What is BloodNet for 500, Alex?

Ganni1987: As a kid I was taken away from my castle, ten years later I return to what once was my home.
King's Quest?

Fever_Discordia: Painkiller Black Ed?

*edit* can't find that one in the catalog now - used to be here though right? Was it a Nordic one that got removed?
avatar
ZFR: No.

avatar
Green_Hilltop: A shooter with a hospital...huh. Can you tell us something from the first area in the game, how does it look like or what type of enemies you could encounter?
avatar
ZFR: First area? It's rubble. A destroyed building. You wake up and there are actually no enemies in the very beginning. Just some friends who dig you out of the rubble.

avatar
Fever_Discordia: Oh yeah! Ermm.. .Condemned?
avatar
ZFR: No
Are these actual friends or just friendly people?

Is this a post-apocalyptic game?
avatar
ZFR: OK, two questions, but I'll accept

avatar
JudasIscariot: Are these actual friends or just friendly people?
avatar
ZFR: Actual friends (two of them). One of them is quite a close one...

avatar
JudasIscariot: Is this a post-apocalyptic game?
avatar
ZFR: I'd go with yes, though it's a judgment call to be honest. It's definitely dystopian and it takes place after an event that could be called apocalyptic, though not a nuclear holocaust, which is what I usually associate "post-apocalyptic" with.
Sorry for double-dipping, reading comprehension is a wonderful thing...when it's actually used :)
avatar
Fever_Discordia: Is it directly based on or use characters adapted from a work of film and / or literature?
avatar
ElTerprise: Afaik it's an original story...so No.
Probably way off, but Assassin's Creed?
avatar
ZFR: Heroes of Might and Magic 2? One of the expansion campaigns is about generations of a family.
avatar
ElTerprise: No

Another hint: It's RTS....
Age of Empires III?
avatar
B0SC0: Age of Empires III?
avatar
ElTerprise: Yes. Your turn!
This game tells the tales of a young boy as he enters a world beyond his wildest dreams and chronicles his adventures as he learns his way and thrives within this world, conquers the challenges that await him and fights his nemesis on several occasions. This particular game covers the early part of his journey.

Nope :)

B0SC0: Nope :)

Fever_Discordia: Baldur's Gate I?
Nope

avatar
ZFR: I'll ask a question then: Could you describe his nemesis?
His nemesis is a fellow human within this universe that displayed hints of evil even from a young age and has corrupted himself beyond all hope in his goal for absolute power

ZFR: (here is hoping with all the new Galaxy users joing GOG, some will join this game too...)

Another question then: Could you describe the setting a bit? Fantasy, sci-fi, modern?

Is it available on GOG?
Yep - It's a multiplatform affair and Nope to Commander Keen :)

ZFR: In case it's not, could you say anything about the genre, B0SC0? Is it an adventure, RPG, FPS?
It's definitely not the witcher :D. Fantasy/Action-adventure

ZFR: Alone in the Dark?
Nope
avatar
B0SC0: Nope

Green_Hilltop: Can you drop some hints? What is your favourite part of the game?
It's based on a set of books, which have also been adapted to film. This is the first in a two part adaption of the book and this particularly adaption takes an interesting spin on the universe.
