Next hints.

#15:
Let's rise your settlement, before it falls again to Ruins.
Build your city and defend against the hordes of the corruption attacking at night.
Even if your colony is overrun by corruption, you gain abilities to do better next time.
This obscure indie game by a single developer receives constant updates since it's release in 2019.

#14:
On the first day man was granted a soul and with it, clarity.
On the second day upon Earth was planted an irrevocable poison.
A soul-devouring demon.

#13:
At the time the game had a discussion surrounding it, as in difference to other games in the genre at the time it had lifes.
That was unusual for shooters in the 90s.

#12:
The kingdom of Duhan was struck by the Flash.

#11:
In difference it's predecessor  that came to the US, this game didn't as a decision of the publisher, even though the european release already had provided an english translation.

15) Not too sure but Necesse fits the last hint

14) We have to be dealing with a Souls game here, I'll go Demon Souls

#15: You are right, Necesse is from a single dev. I wasn't aware, just checked it after you wrote. I only touched the surface of Necesse though, so it is not my game. I am happy though others give small indies a chance.

#14: My plan if it wasn't guessed to repeat that last hint, but bolded. A soul devouring demon, can it get more on the nose? Demon's Souls is indeed correct. And already showed the mastery of Miyazaki and From. All my hints are the lines from the intro:



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

#16. A lot of animal-based codenames in this title.

#15. Enter the survival horror.

#14. Here you ride a dragon, the sequel.

#13. Boy!

#12. The final boss is the title of this game.

#11. Viscerally feminine.

Fair, I actually know the guy who made Necesse so it would have been pretty cool if it was that.

No guesses for these games so extra hints seems needed:

15) Rower of boats

Feller of trees

14) Named after a fictional star

A Tale of the brightest star in the sky

13) One life

0.5 x 2 = 1

12) This game was probably more discussed this year than any other since it's release year

As everybody compared it to its anticipated sequel

11) Has a title that makes a very bold claim

The future of this consistently one-per-generation series is now a bit uncertain

Wow, my respect for getting such a game out as a single dev, this is no small feat. As I said I only touched Necesse shortly (not enough time for all games), I think I bought it in a bundle  with other builder games, a genre which I very much like. With time I may do a deeper dive and make a judgement of the game, but the short time invested already tells me it is a solid game with working systems. This is already an accomplishment if you do all alone.

Yea it's always impressive to see something like that. He has started hiring some help recently (free-lance I think) but until this year it was all solo.

That was unusual for shooters in the 90s.

Don't think it'll be this, but I'm sure Turok had extra lives.

11 - I'll take a guess at Last Window on the DS.

I don't mean Turok, but if it had extra lifes it would fit as well I think. I specifically heard it discussed around the game I mean.

And for 11: that is not the game I meant, but it is so surprisingly close, do you wanna give it another shot looking not too far away from that game?
