#37

-"You think there's a dog buried in this."

-"I can tell you're not a yesterday's grouse's son."

-"You need to fix it before old twig-pants inside the plant has a shit fit."

-The above are all Finnish language idioms translated essentially word for word and said in the game by the janitor.

-The developer is also from Finland, and have only just released a long-awaited sequel to a horror game they made over a decade ago

#36

-Make it to the spring of the third year to meet the person who started you on this journey

-The person you're meeting is your grandfather

-Well, the ghost of your grandfather

-The game started with you inheriting your grandfather's old farm

-Almost entirely created by a single person

37 - Oh, Control! I was very pleasantly surprised by that game. I only gave it a chance after reading coolbeans' review for the site.

36 - Stardew Valley?

Some more clues

42
- Hitting enemies in a certain spot can trigger a long and agonising (and possibly amusing) death animation.
- Out of all the games that use this particular licence, this one is often considered the best.

41
- I’m not sure why the playable characters in this game weren’t included when the series made the move to 3D, as two of the new characters created for the 3D game were pretty similar.
- The world map is more interactive than in previous games, and houses a few secrets.

40
- If you go against one of the main conventions of the game in the first level, you’ll be rewarded.

39
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.

41 - A Super Mario game? NSMBU/D?
