Need help find a PC game

Postby Nox » Fri Jan 10, 2014 11:20 pm

The game was probably made around the early 2000s. Sadly, this is all I can remember about it:
1. It was a rather dark game.
2. It had a 3rd person perspective. (closest thing I can think of gameplay wise would be Men in Black or Blood & Lace)
3. The game likely had a fixed camera perspective (like Resident Evil).
4. At some point in the game (probably early on), some obviously evil looking guy (with a goatee I think) shows up, does something or laughs at you, then disappears. After that you backtrack a bit, and you are attacked by 2 guys or 2 dark looking things. I probably sucked at the game, or the game was just hard, because I couldn't do anything against them. The evil guy could have been a cardboard cutout or a statue at that point (if that's the case, I'm not really sure if the cardboard cutout or the statue disappeared).
5. I'm pretty sure It's not a RPG.
6. The game had a modern setting.

Honestly, nr.4 is the thing I remember most vividly about the game. So if you can think of a similar scene in a game that contradicts something I've said, then please mention it.

Considering that this is likely the most obscure thing ever, I think you're gonna be waiting forever.

Oh man... :D
Try to give some more details. In English? Remember how many CDs it had? Protagonist was a man or a woman? Any other scenes from a game? Anything?

Nope. Can't remember any of that, sorry. I played this over 10 years ago, and I doubt I played it for a long time.

I remember that you could punch enemies, and that the scene I'm remembering probably took place in a theatre or circus. For some reason, I instantly labeled the evil looking man or statue as a magician. I know that's not much to go on, but unless I see some pictures, a gameplay vid or I suddenly dream about it, I doubt I'm gonna remember anything else.

Can you recall about protagonist's appearance? Even a little, perhaps?

Nope. If you, or anyone else for that matter, have a game in mind, or a thousand games, I'd be happy to check it out :D

Perhaps Thief II : The Metal Age is the game you are looking for. But I'm not too sure.

It's not that. If the thing I'm looking for has a first person perspective, that's only because you can switch to first person perspective (again, like Blood and Lace A Gothic Novel).

It's not that. I don't remember shooting anything. All I remember is being able to punch things.

The closest thing I have in mind is Zaphie 2, but I don't have any video to confirm the 4th point.
Anyway, considering the fixed camera system, it could be a PSX port.

Hmm... The atmosphere looks similar. I'll try it and see if it's what I'm looking for.
