    this kitchen reminds me of a game that I played relatively lot as a little kid, around 2005 or so, probably even before I learnt to read because I don’t remember its name at all.

    how do you even start to find such games again?

      Back when I was on reddit, they had tipofmyjoystick which was pretty helpful. If you aren’t opposed, everyone there was very knowledgeable. I liked frequenting that sub because it was like a guessing mini game each day, but you got to help people find games they miss.

      MobyGames maybe? You know its genre and possible release date range so it should be fairly easy to find given you’ll be able to recognize the title or artwork.

        well I actually know neither. I have very slight memories of it. I think I was using windows XP at the time. the game, as I remember, was a bit like those physical fidget games today, in that there was no story (or I didn’t understand it yet) or any kind of goals (that I could understand?). there were multiple different locations in the game, one of them us a kitchen similar to this one, but I’m not sure if I could regularly walk across them, or just click on doors or something to move to another location.
        given that I couldn’t yet read at the time (I think), I have no memories of its title or the desktop icon, or at least I wasn’t able to recall it in any degree for a long time.

        I expect that back then there were much fewer games released in a given timespan than today, but I don’t even know where could I see even a list of them that I could go through.

        edit: just checked mobygames, now I see this is a database like I mentioned. I’ll check this, thanks!

        edit 2: oh well, it requires a registration and a subscription to browse the games database…

          Wha, are you sure? I can search just fine and I don’t have an account there
