No, sorry!

Also, @DeusIrae, did you see this guess?

2001

2012

2014

cover art existed before game

adaptation of a non-IF game

based on a song

XYZZY nominee for best NPC

Yup – but sadly, that’s a no (probably this is the hardest one I contributed? I’ll confirm that it’s one of the ones that won a major IF event).

ā€œbased on a songā€ leads me to believe that 37 is Monkey and Bear? I totally forgot there was a ShuffleComp entry for that song somehow despite being a huge Joanna Newsom fan

Is 29 Repeat the Ending?

Ooh, is 22 ā€œCraneā€ Manor?

@Lionstooth, is this Night Confessional? (Another one I haven’t played.)

Long shot on a game I haven’t played: Accelerate?

Aah, that was the bell that was ringing for me, thank you! (But I haven’t played it. Too much time fiddling with IFDB?)

No, sorry (and I haven’t either)!

Some hints for a few that have been hanging out:

46: :thought_balloon::light_bulb::high_voltage::dotted_line_face:
91. :innocent::deciduous_tree::playground_slide::tiger:
92. :prohibited::palm_down_hand::light_bulb:
95. :dotted_line_face::bed::blossom::bird::pencil:

one IFComp game
one game from a different competition
two non-competition but well-known games (both have 30+ ratings on IFDB)

All games were published after 2010.

Ohhh, 46 is Type Help!

  1. :shovel: :beetle: :balance_scale:

114 The Curse of the Scarab?

No, this is a much better-known game.

Is 95 the absence of Miriam Lane?

I’ve got one. Probably easy but the emojis are perfect for it.

Does nobody have any guesses for 42 yet? ( :scream::scream::scream::man_gesturing_no::france::france::water_pistol::skull_and_crossbones:)

Turn Right, surely… *checks hints* yes.
I can still hear the ticking of the indicator in my head.

(retrospectively assigning this as number 115)
