I've wanted to try my hand at a giveaway thread here and what better occasion than Halloween? Since I have a couple spare keys for games that are on the GOG Connect list I figured I'd give this a shot for fun. The games I have are Layers of Fear (CLAIMED), Hand of Fate (have two keys for this), and SOMA (CLAIMED). Obviously these are Steam keys you'd redeem first there, then here through Connect.
For this little giveaway we'll play a small trivia game. Below are eight years, each accompanied by a hint. These years and hints pertain to a horror themed game (and series) that started in the listed year (except for the last.)
X 1992 - (CLEARED: ALONE IN THE DARK) Considered the grand daddy of survival horror.
X 1995 - (CLEARED: CLOCK TOWER) While western gamers were introduced to this series through its sequel on the PS1, the original is actually a SNES game (which has been fan translated.) Also, scissors.
X 1996 - (CLEARED: RESIDENT EVIL) Dogs and windows. 'nuff said.
X 1999 - (CLEARED: SILENT HILL) This game starts with a nightmare scenario where the player is forced to "die" in order to proceed. (Only on the first playthrough though.)
X 2002 - (CLEARED: FATAL FRAME/PROJECT ZERO) There is only one weapon used throughout this series Its purpose is to exorcise your enemies.
X 2008 - (CLEARED: DEAD SPACE) That floating severed hand in space? That was EA's doing.
X 2010 - (CLEARED: AMNESIA - THE DARK DESCENT) You deliberately erased your memory and left yourself with this note. Now why would you do that?
X 2014 - (CLEARED: ALIEN: ISOLATION) Looking for your mom? Game over man! (This is the only entry that is not a "first" in its series.)
So here's the rules:
- You need a Steam and GOG account obviously.
- REVISED. Just no brand new less than 2 month old accounts, okay?
- You need to solve TWO (and ONLY two) of these in the same post and post the game you wish to receive with your submitted answers.
- Please don't rapidly spam posts in an attempt to get correct answers eventually, give other people a chance after you post (assuming your initial post wasn't confirmed as correct.)
- Whenever a poster has both of their answers confirmed as correct by me, those years are no longer available for subsequent users to answer for.
Just one more simple hint, most of these series aren't super obscure. So really if the answer sounds obvious for some, you should go with your gut reaction. All of these entries EXCEPT for the 2014 one are years for the FIRST games in these series. (2014 is just a specific game in a franchise hint hint.)
Example post:
1998 - Half-Life
2007 - The Witcher
Looking to get SOMA.
