It's really bothering me that I can't think of this game, so I'm coming to SEN's vast amount of information to give me a hand in remembering what it is. I saw it in a youtube video a really long time ago, and it's just so annoying that I can't find it again.

I'll tell you what I can remember from the gameplay footage I saw in the game.

You're in a old-style city, and if I remember correctly, you're like a detective or something. The game is styled like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but I know that's not what it is. While walking through the mildly populated city area, there seems to be this monster thing following you secretly around the city and watching you, often making frightening (Fix: Pants-shittingly-scary) random noises as you progress. In some point in this level, you find a little girl, who you follow back to her home. Once inside, you're waiting for her father to return home. While waiting, there are noises coming from upstairs. Having gone up to search, it gets increasingly more dramatic as you check each room. Making your way to the last room, apparently you run into some kind of demon-thing, suggesting the man turned his wife into it. It breaks out, killing the man as he returns home(I believe), and knocking you unconscious. I don't remember what happen to the girl, but I fail to remember this game.

Two things come to mind: Penumbra, and Amnesia, but I don't think either of these are hit.

Please help me remember what this is, I beg of you. I want to play it, badly.

It's Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of The Earth. Oh, so happy.
Uh, I apologize for double-posting. This might seem like a spam topic.. so I will turn it into a discussion after I start playing the game if that's alright. A mod can lock it if they want, and I'll ask to re-open later.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
