Yeah, exactly. In fact, last night, I went down a weird internet rabbithole where I was just investigating a couple developers who ONLY made games like that. I wasn’t looking for the game anymore, I was just fascinated. I mean, I knew they existed, but I spent time looking at their screenshots and pulling up youtube videos. I think I may have found my new gaming niche. I want to get these weird games that use a combination of pre-rendered 3D and FMV. There’s quite a few on the 3DO (or PS1, or Saturn, or Sega/Mega CD) but there’s so many more on PC. I really love the look of pre-rendered 3D from that era.
Yes! I was wondering whether I had to show the eye or not for somebody to get it.
It’s the utterly fantastic Westwood’s Blade Runner. Specifically, one of the Voight Kampff tests:

95% of blade runner is classic adventure game POV! And you choose this frame?! You swine!
(+ I completely don’t remember this part. I remember the bit with the cameras were you can ENHANCE everything)
This is the part where you decide who is a replicant or not!!! How can you forget it? ;P
Score! I vaguely remembered it, never played it myself but did watch a friend play a good chunk of it.
More people should play this game:
Earthtongue if I am not mistaken.
Never heard of it but I can see why you would guess Earthtongue. Interesting guesses but no cigar yet. Have some more:
…going to bed, new frame in 8-9 hours.
Stereden? Though that wasn’t a game I’d recommend to everyone…
Steredenn indeed! What don’t you like about it @Left_Empty? I’m partial to shmups although I’m not a hardcore player. I like the procedural missions, weapons and upgrades, score chase with leaderboard and audio/visuals. I was sad to see how few were playing when I was looking at the leaderboards and daily challenges.
Oh I didn’t mean that in a derogatory way toward the game; I am simply partial to horizontal shmups. (I find vertical ones much easier to play ;)
The ever-generous resident QT3 Santa, the awesome @marquac, gifted it to me a few months ago, and I enjoyed very much my time with it, although I remember hitting a major wall at level 4. I had also told him the random drawing elements (hey, Mr. Carnevale, I didn’t say “roguelike”, although it is right there on the Steam store page ;) at the end of each level was too off balanced to my taste. Some weapons and bonuses were clearly much stronger than others, leading to this player’s sad face - a side effect wasted runs in iteration-based games are known to provoke here.
Very nice pick by the way: absolutely loved the art of the game!
