Hey everyone. I need some help finding an older myst-like game from the 90s. I’m really after a great song (if I remember correctly) that plays in the credits.

I don’t remember too many details, unfortunately. However, most of the early game takes place in a freakshow. They have things like the fat lady, etc.. It was myst-like. And it had a great song at the end sung by a female vocalist.

Pretty sure that if you know the game I’m talking about, that should be enough, but I don’t remember more.

Could it be The Residents: Bad Day on the Midway?

If that’s the one, then some of the music from the game can be found on this album.

Could be Faust: Seven Games Of The Soul

If so this is the track you mean:

ops, don’t think my last post posted. Faust isn’t it. The song was modern for the 90’s, with electronic instruments. The song was slow, with a quite female voice talk/singing.

To quote Metallica the game is

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Maybe??

     

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

No, you didn’t. Wink

It was myst-like.




Similar to my first suggestion is this: The Residents: Freak Show

The more you can remember about the game, the better. Wink

The game is a littler darker carnival-ish at the beginning. Later in the game it lightens the mood a little bit visually and you start to see the myst influence.

The early game has some gypsy caravans in it. You play a character lookin/investigatin something (of course) and the investigation starts at a traveling (I think) freakshow. The game has a serious tone to it.
