(OMG, has “nice pick!” been a running gag this whole time? I apologize if I took it at face value in the past and gave anyone grief over it!)
Aaaargh, I feel like I should know that! Looks so familiar…
And yet, games like Frozen Synapse and Heat Signature and Duskers and other games come to mind and I know it’s definitely none of those. Aaaaargh.
SYNTHETIK 2 ?
Not Synthetik 2!
Five Nights at Freddies?
Ugh. I still don’t know what it is. I’ll just guess whatever to not go crazy. The Division 2?
Nice pick! Tower of Time?
I don’t remember if it was in one of the 2021 best-of threads or maybe the Quarterlies, or maybe like a hidden gems post about the last Steam sale, but someone somewhere said something about a game that was “like the hacking parts of Deus Ex but made into a whole game.” This makes me think about that, but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.
I think that was Solas 128 wasn’t it?
Not The Division 2! Not Tower of Time! Not SOLAS 128!
If I remember correctly, it IS the game someone said was the hacking parts of Deus Ex as a whole game. So… in what other context would we have been talking about that?
Oh right, it’s the other one. I don’t really get another guess until a new frame comes up but I’m pretty sure I know what we’re talking about.
Midnight Protocol?
You’re not wrong. :)
That’s it! Been playing it since I got it in Humble Choice.
Well done, @vinraith. I am pretty sure you didn’t need Tom’s well-timed top 10 to get this one.
Indeed, I didn’t actually see Tom’s list until after that guess, though it was certainly effective confirmation. :)
Anyway, new frame:
