Also keep in mind that we managed to figure out your Gabriel Knight Remake clue without either of us having played it.

Anyway:

I look familiar
But not the same; I'm alive
And seen in the past

I think I know who you are.
Are you the "freak" female, blond patient?

I look familiar, but not the same - this is because it's the same actress from Phantasmagoria 1. She's mother of the son (the one who gets caught on the nail in Phantasmagoria 1). She's also alive.

And seen in the past would indicate Phantasmagoria 1, since the game she's being seen in now is Phantasmagoria 2.

Yes I am!

"I'm alive" meant that Harriet is killed in Phantasmagoria 1, and this person is still alive
"seen in the past" actually meant that she is only seen in flashbacks.

OK, let's start with the classic question. Are you in a game with the word "Quest" in the title?

I am not.

Modified the hint, because my OCD kicked in about the lines not rhyming.

I hit like thunder
Why I'm here is truly a wonder
It's a square on the ground...
But everything is depending on it being round?

Are there 3 or more games in the series you are in?

And is it a fantasy game? (Or just boring old reality?)

No, there is not.

Just boring old reality. (If that's the only option against fantasy... again, I consider scifi different than fantasy... fantasy to me is Quest for Glory, King's Quest, sci-fi is like Lighthouse, Space Quest)

So it all depends on how you define 'fantasy' I suppose.

Rules out LSL and GK.

Are you in a Phantasmagoria game?

I am not in a Phantasmagoria game.

Sorry, I didn't mean to denigrate sci-fi! And you're right, it all depends on how you define 'fantasy'. None of us can live out Roger Wilco's SQ adventures, for instance, so in a strict sense, it could be defined as 'fantasy'. But SQ clearly falls under science fiction.

Come to think of that, how do you define 'science fiction'? Asimov, Clarke and their generation defined 'science fiction' as something that could scientifically happen. For instance, Asimov once wrote a 'locked-room mystery' set on the moon, and (IIRC) depended on anti-gravity for the solution. Yet today, just about anything set in space is described as 'science fiction', even things that are clearly (for now) impossible, like Star Wars and Star Trek. Douglas Adams wrote The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy to mock the more clearly impossible things that people were trying with sci-fi in the 1970s, but now Hitch-hiker's Guide is considered to be sci-fi. So ... how broad is this umbrella?

Anyway, sorry. I'm digressing. *blush* But this topic sounds interesting to me. Maybe we could move it to the sci-fi discussion thread, and continue it there, if anyone is interested?

And here's my question: are you in a Laura Bow game?

Here's a clue. No. I am not in a Laura Bow game.
(See what I did? Here's a clue? Not in Laura Bow? Because she's like a detective? Clue? Detective? Nevermind...)

Are you in Gold Rush?

I am not found in Gold Rush.
