I’ll guess The Last Express.

Edit:  I see Karlok beat me to it.  I’m not surprised. 

@Karlok: Let me think about my Top Ten! And I will definitely play “The Last Express”.. this is a fun coincidence. I’ve been on a thrift store quest for “Ceremony of Innocence”,  a long shot, I know.. but I did manage to find this gem! It was kept in folded sheets of paper, but the discs are in mint condition. I’m going to give the game a try right now.

Thrift Store Quest. I’ll write it if others are willing to do the artwork and programming.

Ah, sorry! I only started playing The Last Express recently and I haven’t gotten far into it, but I somehow (in hindsight, foolishly) assumed this clock was just there for decor

Now you know you should keep an eye on the clock.

Hope you like TLE. It may take a while to get used to the rotoscope animation and the real-time gameplay.

There’s a mint copy of Ceremony of Innocence for sale on ebay, if you’re willing to pay 40 dollars.

Found it!

The answer is: “TOHU”.

(I wish I could put the diacritic on the U)

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but that word means ‘Desolate’ or ‘desolation’ in the holy tongue (the language that the old testament is written in, basically ‘Olde Hebrew’). It’s used for the first time (and as far as I know only time) toward the beginning of Genesis to describe the world before God created things like land and oceans and flora and fauna.

Sorry for the little tangent, I’m working on a project relating to this stuff at the moment, so it is on my mind.

Interesting, I didn’t know. At the start you are told a strange creature has destroyed the Sacred Engine and all life on the planets is in danger, but even so desolate is not a fitting description of this very cute little puzzle game.

Over to you, VP.

Thanks!

I’m kind of proud to say I knew of this project. I feel like a Baron hipster.

Let’s try this:

Here’s another plant. It’s really tall. About twice the size of the main character.

Maybe this will shed some light on the situation..

edit: it’s all about kicks-starting the mental process!

Is it: Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller?

Correct, Adv_Lvr! 

Darn, I knew I’d seen that tomb before! Hey VP, how did you like that game? (I thought it was pretty okay!)
