I thought perhaps such a thread could be of use, like the opposite of the Gameseek thread.
Some AGS games are not added to the database, and may fly under people's radar. If you find something that other people may be interested in, why not post the link in this thread? This could be stuff hidden in plain sight in the AGS depository (https://archive.org/details/adventuregamestudio) on archive.org, or it may be jam games, demos or smaller games that for some reason haven't ended up in the database on this site.
I'll go first: In the Adventure Jam 2021 on GameJolt, you can find the following AGS games not currently in the database:
Nadir (https://gamejolt.com/games/nadir/618327) is a great and moody short piece set in a submarine.
Long in the Tooth (https://gamejolt.com/games/longinthetooth/618561) is a short demo with marvelous graphics and animation.
Coffin Valley (https://gamejolt.com/games/coffinvalley/617758) is a western game.
All Demons must go to Hell (https://gamejolt.com/games/demons/618553) is a game announcing itself as user-unfriendly, but it's quite fun to play.
Lancelot's Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze (https://store.steampowered.com/app/917380/Lancelots_Hangover_The_Quest_for_the_Holy_Booze/)
If someone else does what I do, and sometimes check out events of yesteryear, you will probably find out that some of those small event or competition games are missing from the database.
The 24 hours of AGS contest (from 2017) had six entries, but three of them aren't in the database:
Like a Fox
Lydia
CyberJACK
Now, there are some working links to be found in the game's thread (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54499.0), but you can find all (six) of them here (https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%2224+Hours+of+AGS+2017-02+Hide%21%22) if you want to play some fun shorties.
Memochi (https://andyl4nd.itch.io/memochi-dust)
From an old MAGS with the theme "Jumping Jack Flash":
Memoriae (https://gamejolt.com/games/memoriae/150115)
Jump! Jack! Flash! (https://archive.org/details/jump-jack-flash)
Found by coincidence in the depository while searching for the "jump"-games above, an old non-interactive demo, probably aimed at atheists:
Preachers can't jump (https://archive.org/details/preachers-cant-jump-demo). (I had to dig up an old computer to run this one. Lasts a minute.)

Wow. I forgot about CyberJACK. It wasn't finished as the 24 hour time limit was exhausting. Maybe I will return to it one day.
I want to use this opportunity and say a big Thank You! to denzquix (https://archive.org/details/@denzquix?tab=collections) on Archive.org (propably Denzil Quixode (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=511) on the forums) for meticulously uploading AGS games to the archive and categorizing them. (Even though it seems he stopped doing so three years ago)
A couple more Mags entries not in the database:
Research Resident (http://www.charlietwitch.com/ags/reRes/ResearchResident.zip) which is unfinished, but you can play the first room and walk around in the second. There's not a scripted ending to the demo, though. (From Mags March 2018 Three's a crowd.) Looks like it would make a cool game.
Gwen Darkly â€" intro to the first case (https://archive.org/details/mags2018-01_gwen-darkly) which is a demo. (From Mags January 2018 Misunderstood Motives.)
Flight from the Robots (https://loquimur.itch.io/escape-from-the-robots) is Fernewelten's entry in the ongoing Narrative driven jam 4 (https://itch.io/jam/narrative-driven-jam-4). It's an escape the room game in a sci-fi setting.
Edit: It's in the base now, including a master mind-esque minigame not in the version linked here.
No-one Touches My Hamster (https://archive.org/details/adventuregamestudio?query=hamster&sin=) is a short game from 2003 with some pixel hunting, but a charm about it.
The Unlikely Prometheus (https://itch.io/jam/105-adventure-game-challenge/rate/1230959) is a very funny entry in the recent $105 Adventure Game Challenge jam.
Edit: The Unlikely Prometheus won that jam!
Jonathan's Adventures (https://yinsan.itch.io/jonathans-adventures) is a short escape-the-room game from the $105 adventure game jam, where you need to help Jonathan escape a prison cell before the ogre makes ingredients out of him. Two endings, well suited for a lunch break.
Terror Within Hawk Manor is at
http://www.mediafire.com/file/c549h5j9o9agt1j/Hawk_Manor.zip/file

According to this: https://www.rom-game.fr/news/4772-Gobliiins+5.html there is currently a fundraiser to raise 3000 Euros to complete the game. It's indeed made in AGS.
I'm only Sleeping is a Reality-on-the Norm game not in the database. Get it here (https://realityonthenorm.info/game.php?id=164) or here (https://archive.org/details/RON-im-only-sleeping). Davy's little brother wakes up in the middle of the night and needs to go back to sleep. Not easy when Death is sitting in the sofa, watching Gilligan's Island. Fun stuff!
Murder actually has a very long title. It's probably an hour game, three screens long. It's at https://archive.org/details/murder-game
The Elegant Murder Mystery is a pretty good short detective game, as the title suggests. It's at https://archive.org/details/the-elegant-murder-mystery
An even better mystery game is Anticipating Murder, which is both at http://americangirlscouts.org/agsuploads/Lisa/AnticipatingMurder.zip and https://archive.org/details/anticipating-murder ,but strangely enough not in the main database.
(Can anyone tell I used "Murder" to search for Murder in a wheel and then just couldn't stop there?) :-[
And most of the entries from the first MAGS ever:
Highly Hip Hendrix is at https://archive.org/details/highly-hip-hendrix
Tiny Green Piece of Crap is at https://archive.org/details/tiny-green-piece-of-crap
Philip Illinilings and the Murder at Fish Hotel is at https://archive.org/details/philip-illinilings-and-the-murder-at-fish-hotel
They even had a Ceremony at the end, which is at https://archive.org/details/mags-2001-06-ceremony
(Some of these old games won't run on modern computers without some fiddling. I have an old PC lying around for such occasions. ;) )
Most of the games from MAGS 2001/07 (One Room/Celebrity Photo):
I Want Candy is at https://archive.org/details/i-want-candy
Pixely Pete is at https://archive.org/details/pixely-pete (Note - probably unfinishable)
Adventure Noir is at https://archive.org/details/adventure-noir (Note- demo game)
The Dog Kennel ia at https://archive.org/details/the-dog-kennel
Fad of Devil's Hash is at https://archive.org/details/fad-of-devils-hash
And a ceremony is at https://archive.org/details/mags-2001-07-ceremony
Another old MAGS game:
The Treasure of Monkey Peninsula is at https://archive.org/details/the-treasure-of-monkey-peninsula
Seek, and Ye Shall Find is at https://globalgamejam.org/2021/games/seek-and-ye-shall-find-3 This is a short game where you play hide and seek with your daughter. Not puzzle oriented, but well worth a play. Tells a nice story.
Lassi Quest Remake Demo is at https://archive.org/details/lassi-quest-1-remake-demo Unifinished and unfinishable, and not worth playing for other than historical reasons, I guess.
Major Bummer Dude: Lassi Quest RON is at https://archive.org/details/RON-major-bummer-dude-lassi-request-ron This may be the only Lassi game that's decent.
Night of the Plumber is at https://archive.org/details/night-of-the-plumber This is a decent MAGS game if you can tolerate the toilet humour and one Osama bin Laden masturbation joke (!). (Okay, so maybe "decent" was a poor choice of words.)
The author of Lance the Penguin (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1360-lance-the-penguin/) also made a couple of demos that work as standalone short games:
Persephone's Diary: Secrets of the South is at http://www.mediafire.com/?567kocrya42ianj
Jimmy Goodlove: Serial Killer Fugitive is at http://www.mediafire.com/?h32y9z5pm4l3td1
These are a bit of an aquired taste, as the graphics are, to put it mildly, not the strong suit of the games. Play Lance the Penguin first and see if you want more or not. The Jimmy Goodlove game has some humour I found in a bit of poor taste, as you may expect when the protagonist is a serial killer. Note that I don't exactly recommend these games, but I think they belong in the thread for the purpose of complete AGS availability.
Matti's MAGS entry with the theme "time", RunAway is at https://archive.org/details/mags-runaway (https://archive.org/details/mags-runaway) It's a clever concept where the player chooses the best route to run through enemy lines.
Another arcade game is Invasion of the Floating Death-Orbs, which is a surprisingly addictive shooter in limited space, with steering like Thrust with constant full pedal. It's at www.vanwijst.com/games/invasion.zip (http://www.vanwijst.com/games/invasion.zip) and it's by master funny scribe, the Baron. Please add it to the database, my lord!
Then there are the AGS entries from the recent Adventure Jam 2022 which are not in the database yet:
The Witch's Lullaby by Honza (overall winner!) is at https://hvavra.itch.io/the-witchs-lullaby
Ghost V by Akril15 is at https://akril15.itch.io/ghost-v
Flight from the Robots chapter 2 by Fernewelten is at https://loquimur.itch.io/flight-from-the-robots-2
There may be more. I've only scratched the surface of this jam so far.
Edit: Honza's game is in the db now.
From a MAGS back in 2004 with the theme Outdoors:
Smiley's Quest 2 is at https://archive.org/details/smileys-quest-2
The Mushroom Man is at https://archive.org/details/the-mushroom-man
Beard Beverage is at http://www.mediafire.com/download/omxlvccckvy39dz/BeardGame.rar This is a short and cute game about a guy who wants a beard.
As far as I can see, The Marvellous Birthday of Princess Marian (or Princess Marian III) isn't in the database. But it's at https://archive.org/details/princess-marian-3 This series is very cute and charming.
At the recent $106 Adventure Game Challenge (https://itch.io/jam/106-adventure-game-challenge) game jam, there is an entry called Interdimensional Community Service (https://moumix.itch.io/interdimensional-community-service). Funny short sort of investigative game.
This author's also made two more games not in the database: The Gardner's Heist (https://moumix.itch.io/the-gardners-heist) and 12 Hours a Slave (https://moumix.itch.io/12-hours-a-slave), which were entries in the $103 and $101 Adventure Game Challenge, subsequently. 12 Hours a Slave won!
Vampire Wombat has made a few MAGS entries that aren't in the database, probably because some of them are somewhat unfinished/in demo state. Nevertheless, at https://vampirewombat.itch.io/ you can find Ka and Da, Lygophilous, The Summoned, Mystery Meat Mayhem, Research Reservations, Goat Burn, Shamrock High: Graduation, Flukie, Captain Carver's Carnival Curios, Sweet Mythery, Vacant Bodies, Pizza Calls, Comet Collision and Dr. Muttonchop. (My favourites among these are probably Lygophilous, Research Reservations and Comet Collision.) The real way to play MAGS games is of course to read the old thread of the competition and play all the games with the same theme. At least I find that more rewarding than playing them out of context.
Return to Candle Cove is at https://archive.org/details/return-to-candle-cove This is a "not-serious" entry and default not-winner of a MAGS with the theme "Legend" back in 2012. (It's an animation/joke game. For completeists only.)
The Object of all Dreams is here (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/the-object-of-all-dreams)
Oh, there are games in this archival itch account that are recent. :0
Helm's "Untitled Demo Game" can be found here (https://archive.org/details/helms-untitled-demo-game-v0.003). It's one room and ends with an error message when you exit, and it probably won't work on a newer computer. Looks good, though.
An ancient joke game called Dan finds his beard can be found here. (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/dan-finds-his-beard)
A kind of joke game of a different nature :-[ can be found here: https://archive.org/details/kings-quest-for-orgy
It's very short and not the same as the real Quest for Orgy, which can be found here. (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/qfo)
A couple of older games not in the database, but on the archive: Trapped with Hell: Cruisin' (https://archive.org/details/trapped-with-hell-cruisin) and Trapped with Hell (https://archive.org/details/trapped-with-hell).
Edit: I tried the two Trapped games only after posting the links, hence no comment then. These are made by a kid years back. There are threads ridiculing them about how bad they were, and indeed, they're not any good, and rely a bit on offensive language. But they're not difficult either, despite what's said in the old threads where people gang up to ridicule a kid's game (not one of the forum's finest hours), so for someone who wants to play through all the available AGS games, they are a five minute distraction each. Not worth the time of others than completionists and people who find bad games amusing.
Another demo from the archive is Ed's Gravedigger Demo (https://archive.org/details/eds-gravedigger-demo). Short and unfinished, but cool integration of 3d through avi and even a rough combat prototype in the final scene.
Some may remember the sadly unfinished Longevity Gene. The Demo is here. (https://mark_billy.itch.io/the-longevity-gene-unfinished)
And a third classy demo is The Day of the Testicle (https://archive.org/details/day-of-the-testicle-demo).
A MAGS entry by Fsi with the theme Steampunk from 2009 is at https://archive.org/details/ted-mcbinky-and-his-steam-engine
And another from the same author for the theme Prologue from 2008: https://archive.org/details/red-beard-saves-ron-beta
Ponch has some stuff not in the database. Barn Runner 0: The Case of the Runaway Robot is a short game/demo, and it can be found at http://www.barnrunner.com/barn0.html
A MAGS entry by Mikko with the theme Haunted House from 2006 is at https://archive.org/details/al-luminum-haunted-house
Awesome Quest is a nice little two-roomer. It can be found here (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/awesome-quest).
And Scavenger rescued his sister's (Gemmalah) game The Dragon Slayers from being lost, currently hosting it here (http://hy3na.net/Games/DragonSlayers/DragonSlayers.exe). This is a cute game where you play a kid who has to find weapons before going on a quest to slay a dragon with his friends. Fully voiced!
Ben 304's first game, Hungry, is not in the database, but on the archive: https://archive.org/details/hungry-2005
Kind of unsurprisingly, this is a tad better than most people's first games. Some people just got it.
Relight's first game, Abstract, is here. (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/abstract) It's a demo where I don't think the player can do very much.
Icey made a game called Project 304 Style - Wandering Spirits. It is now available here (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/project-304-style).
The short movie intro demo of D.Jones: Deceased is here. (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/d-jones-deceased)
Remember hourgames? Games made in small contests in an hour or so? Here's a collection of 29(?) of them: https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/hourgames-collection
Edit: List of Hourgames in the collection (will update until complete):
Theme: Downfallen Superhero:
IB SHAG Entry 12.July (Indie Boy seems to not have given his hourgames proper titles)
Flash Down
Theme: Absurd Character Deaths:
2000 Ways to Play Badminton Without (...) and the title fills the entire screen.
Terlethour or possibly it's called Deadman Toilet
Theme: Time Paradox
666 Days a Sotona - This one is a RON game, sort of. Outside of continuity, of course.
Enkerro's Time Paradox
Time Paradox
Time Out of Joint
OMFGPARADOX!
Theme: Magic
Wizard Hangover ExtreamZz!! - This one is actually in the main database.
Majixsis - I'm not really sure of the title of this one or who the author is. It features a creature locked in a Wizard's bathroom who has to make a voodoo doll to defeat the Wizard.
Theme: Worship Boxes or Breasts:
Box This one is actually in the database, too.
Preeee or possibly it's called Hurray
Theme: Buddy Brick
Buddy Brick
Theme: Gold
6 Day blah blah Vampire Gold
Uhhr or more likely the title is Annoying Quest
Theme: The Internet
Depressomatic (Title Screen says "Crap Game".) This is a cartoon made in AGS by FSi with no interaction.
Simppmdee This is a joke "game" about meeting pmd in a chat room.
Roald Dahl story:
1Hour
Random Wikipedia:
FSi's Neighbor Mountain
FSi's Unbearable: Nickie the Bear and the Burden of Sanity short movie/non-game

IB's SHAG entry 13.07.08
Theme: Story Machine
Pie
Theme: Really Bad Horror Movies
Ghost Stories
Attack Game
Theme: The Gods
Deus Ex Machina
Theme: Dark Room
Dark Room
An absolutely awful little thing called The Virus is at https://archive.org/details/the-virus-2016 . It absolutely looks like the author tries to give seizures by flashing lights. But okay, it's made for the fun of it.
Another terrible game is "The Dark Cults", which is at https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/the-dark-cults This one is made by the guy who made "Not the explainable", and gameplay is mostly trying to find the hotspot that is an exit. You may cheat by ctrl-x and ctrl-c, though, if you want to see the ending. For completeionists only.
The long lost game Zemp's Birthday Kwest is now available at https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/happy-birthday-zemp This is a tiny game with in-jokes that most of us are not in on. Still, it's a cool gift.
A collection of four Hourgames with the theme Graveyard is here (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/graveyard-four-hourgames). They are called:
Roger Finds Treasure
Treasure of Obese Bob
Fuck You, I'm a Corpse
Leo the Gravedigger's Adventure
Tino's Wake Up is here (https://gamejolt.com/games/WakeUp/338402).
The Adventure Think Tank (also known as Troels Pleimert/The Space Quest Historian with friends) has released some pretty entertaining games that are not in the database. On the Gamejolt page we can find a few:
Were We Ever (https://gamejolt.com/games/were-we-ever/149697).
All Demons Must Go to Hell (https://gamejolt.com/games/demons/618553).
Long Distance Coughing (https://gamejolt.com/games/longdistancecoughing/493250).
Empty (https://gamejolt.com/games/empty/428894).

What's in the Safe. (https://gamejolt.com/games/what-s-in-the-safe/60502).
What Spunky Found (https://gamejolt.com/games/what-spunky-found/40297).
Enjoy!
Quote from: heltenjon on Thu 12/01/2023 18:51:23A collection of four Hourgames with the theme Graveyard is here (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/graveyard-four-hourgames). They are called:
Roger Finds Treasure
Treasure of Obese Bob
Fuck You, I'm a Corpse
Leo the Gravedigger's Adventure
Nooooo! You dug up the Treasure of Obese Bob! WHYYYYYYY :=
Quote from: Babar on Fri 13/01/2023 13:41:04Nooooo! You dug up the Treasure of Obese Bob! WHYYYYYYY :=
Because it has the nice Moon poem, of course. And a cool title. And the treasure is made for digging up. :-D
Back in the MAGS April 2007 (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/competitions-activities/mags-april-unexpected/40/) the theme was Unexpected, and there were 8 entries, including the famous Me Go Store (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/879-me-go-store-/). But four of the games were not added to the database. They can be found at the archive here:
Day of the Fish (https://archive.org/details/day-of-the-fish) This one is short, but funny and well worth a try.
Cabbage Quest (https://archive.org/details/cabbage-of-the-closest-kind) I instantly recognized the main theme song as an instrumental version of Frank Zappa's Zomby Woof. The rest of the game is delightfully and frustratingly weird. Thankfully, there are hints in the Mags thread.
Unexpected Quest (https://archive.org/details/unexpected-quest) seems to be a short game of juvenile humour.
West of the Root (https://archive.org/details/west-of-the-root) Wonder of wonders! This one also has a Zappa song as instrumental soundtrack: The Idiot Bastard Son. Aside from that, it's a straightforward short game with an exit almost impossible to find in one room. (Thankfully, you can CTRL-X out if you can't find the hotspot.)
Edit: It seems like the two Zappa soundtracks were no accident, as the two games were made by brothers, at first mistaken for the same person.
A probably unfinishable short training game is here: Gravity's Test Game (https://archive.org/details/gravitys-test-game)
What is described as an interactive music video from another one of the Space Quest Historian's alter Egos, Error 47, is here: Zak the Maniac - an interactive music video (https://error47band.itch.io/maniaczak) It's a fun mix of Zak McKracken in the Maniac Mansion 35 years later, in an alternate dimension where things didn't go well in the first place.
I don't remember seeing this game in the DB, it was made for ludumdare: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/homunculus
Found this game in Global Game Jam, haven't played: https://globalgamejam.org/2023/games/whose-turn-it-anyway-8
Hi there!
Here's two games that were recently reported on ScummVM's bugtracker, does anyone know the proper titles (or have any info at all...)
Time Paradox (https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZoF4xVZVcEX4TEL63utfNAG77bHMQmfS8NV)
This one look like a MAGS game? probably around 2007
Trap (https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZsp4xVZc8PV2hzckT05FzwSDelYGXiXN4dV)
Escape room using Indiana Jones' sprite, this one is recent. The ingame title says "Adventure Jam", but I couldn't find the entry
Quote from: tag2015 on Mon 20/03/2023 10:45:33Time Paradox (https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZoF4xVZVcEX4TEL63utfNAG77bHMQmfS8NV)
This one look like a MAGS game? probably around 2007
This is from an hourgame contest. It's included here: https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/hourgames-collection
The thread on this site is here: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/completed-game-announcements/hour-games/msg381242/#msg381242

Thanks a lot heltenjon! I already had the hourgame zip but somehow I missed that game :P
About the other entry, the author is "Luis Angel Aleixandre Arnau" and the game looks a lot like his unsuccessful kickstarter "The Seeds of Vala".
He probably reused some of the assets for this AdvJam entry.

Yes, I noticed that, too. He's not been active on this community since 2019, but you could try reaching out.
Seeds of Vala uses the nine-verbs, though, while the jam game looks like it is made with the BASS template. The settings look a lot like the gameplay video posted for
Seeds of Vala, so you may very well be right.

Falling Skywards was included in the Bake Sale some years ago. It's a great game with a moving story, good and quite challenging puzzles, wonderful animation and cool sound design.

Annie Londonderry (https://johannak.itch.io/annie-londonderry-a-journey-around-the-world)
I played this. Nice, historical graphics, and a very short game that would work nice as an intro to a history lesson about the real Annie, I suppose. Online play only. Thanks for the link!
On the site for that one, I found a link to Painted Hills (https://jermaine-mcgee.itch.io/painted-hills), which is a fun short investigation game set in a Canadian native American village. Online play only, but very nice-looking and also using the relationships in the small village to make tasks/puzzles flow well in the investigation.
EDIT: Painted Hills (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2701-painted-hills/) has been added to the database!

This one is highly recommended! Digital Mosaic has made a shortie for a game jam, but there's great voice acting, graphics, music and writing. True, there is little room for puzzles, but there is a memory puzzle, so I'll check that box too.
Quote from: eri0o on Wed 08/02/2023 19:55:50I don't remember seeing this game in the DB, it was made for ludumdare: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/homunculus

The MAGS contest back in September 2008 had the theme "Broken Game". Reading the thread (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/competitions-activities/mags-2008-09-broken-game/) is a tad confusing. Radiant first entered Awesmoe Quest (https://archive.org/details/awesmoe-quest), which is on the archive. This I believe to be just a joke, as ProgZmax replied about the game crashing instantly (which the version on the archive also does), and the game is the "game within a game" found in META (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/653-meta/) (which is in the database). However, when Radiant entered his real entry, KATA, this was set up to be that he competed against himself. KATA is not in the database, but can be found on Radiant's home page. (https://crystalshard.net/index.php?g=10#) It's a parody of Windows, of sorts, and basically has the player battling error messages trying to install a game. I can see this being fun for some, and mildly annoying for others.
Chmelnica (https://lost-ags-games.itch.io/chmelnica) is a short adventure made by Czech one-person team Marion Software (not to be confused with our own Marion). There are translations to German and English. (The author had a game in the db called Bill DeBill, but it's gone now.) The moon logic level borders on asteroid, but I found the setting interesting, as I didn't know anything about the type of farm workers shown in the game.

This was a fun short investigation game.
QuoteSenpai Getaway (https://realterror.itch.io/senpai-getaway)
Short Slovak game that I needed Google Translate to finish. Made for a small anime-inspired jam, this is a mix of graphic assets that doesn't fit together. I found it kind of charming, anyway.
Quotedrawn to the flame (https://erdalion.itch.io/drawn-to-the-flame)
This one is a brilliant short horror piece featuring a scary elevator ride. No real puzzles, but I thought it was genuinely unsettling. Good stuff.
The same author also has a game in the database (Where No Fear Was (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1602-where-no-fear-was/)), but on his itch page, there are also two other small games:
Grace Russell: Episode 1 tech demo (https://erdalion.itch.io/grace-russell-episode-1-demo), which is a taste of an investigation game. Just a demo, like the title says.
A Fool for Love (or: Finding the Right Words Beta Version) (https://erdalion.itch.io/a-fool-for-love), which is an unfinished game where the player control a cupid who is guiding a hopeless guy in his quest for love. Quite funny, and a great idea for a game.

It's a shame the flash game doesn't exist anymore. Very cool concept where the player has to time travel to preserve the history of Utrecht. Learning history this way is very appealing.
When the game is on flash i also check

The September Mags 2003 featured a game called
Dragonscale, which is on the archive (https://archive.org/details/dragonscale), but not in the database. This is a short game set in a future which looks pretty much like our times, and perhaps involving a dragon. The theme was "Mythological Beast".
It looks like one of Daniele Spadoni's Back to the Future fangames is not in the database, but it is on the archive. (https://archive.org/details/tfg-bttf-eng) This is the one similar to the movie.
And with Adultsqualman returning, why not post the link to his production from his younger days. It's on the archive again: A Cup of Coffee is worth 1000 Bathroom Trips (https://archive.org/details/a-cup-of-coffee-is-worth-1000-bathroom-trips) This may require an older pc or some tinkering before it will run.

I checked out episode 1 (made with GameMaker Studio), and it was really cool. Making a flipped animation? Nope, just let the guy moonwalk (Space, you know). (laugh) Episode 2 is well made, but I didn't like the idea that much. And I can't reveal it without spoiling it.
