This and this are the same game, but use different types of apostrophes in the title.

I'll nominate Choo-Choo Charles.

Dr Livingstone, I Presume? and Dr Livingstone, I Presume? Reversed Escape Room are the same game.

I should have checked the previous nominations before throwing a title, so no worries.

If you want to play and discuss it, you can always post on the forum thread or make a Discord thread for it.

I'll nominate Psychonauts again.

Mortal Kombat XL is just Mortal Kombat X with DLC characters included.

The Chronicles of Myrtana is a duplicate of The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos.

I haven't posted since April, mostly because I've been busy with a big move. Unfortunately, that's also the reason I haven't made much progress since then.

This is a duplicate of this (Clutter's Greatest Hits).

I'll nominate Psychonauts.

A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition is a duplicate of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game.

My nominee for May is Bear and Breakfast.

The Dark by Eric Koziol is a duplicate of The Dark.

Slightly complicated one here:
Mech_Romancer Charity Bundle 1 and Mech_Romancer Charity Bundle 2 aren't actually games. They're both ways to buy Mech_Romancer in order to donate to charity and get some bonus wallpapers. Mech_Romancer doesn't have its own game page here, yet, but its itch.io ID is 183560.

One question:
What happens if we have a game on a collection or in the Backlog (or any other tab) and it gets deleted or merged?

I believe it keeps the name you had it saved as, but links to the merged game.

March Update!

Had a big spree of 2 days and then college happened, ended up with 9 completions!

06. A quickie (less than an hour) - Loading Screen Simulator - I was bored, it appeared and it was kinda bad, atleast quick.
14-1. A game with over 1k completions - Monument Valley - Pretty great puzzle game, its beautiful and magnific!
15-2. A replay - Emily is Away - Remembered this game existed, but would be better without, too short to feel anything, and a bad character design.
16. A game that’s been a Game of the Month - Outlast - Still a great game, but could feel some aspects of gameplay being a bit outdated.
26. A sequel that's more famous than the original - Resident Evil 4 Remake - First time playing, was fun, but had some frustrating gameplay quirks.
36. A game that's smaller than 100MB - Castle Break - Thought it was gonna be way longer, but it was a fun short game.
38. A game that made it out of Development Hell (5+ years) - OMORI - Almost a masterpiece, but I didn't like the "Undertale-ness" of some parts.
42. A game with a female protagonist - Harmony's Odyssey - Pretty unique puzzle game, but at the same time generic.
43. A Game inspired by Mythology or Folklore - Pumpkin Jack - Wanted this game for so long, had a lot of fun playing.

I've surpassed the 40 mark! 27 More games to go, might finish the challenge around july/august if I keep up the pace.

I'm curious why you feel that Mario Kart 8 has no business being in the Mario Kart series.

March is done, and here's where I'm at. It's the first month that I've finished games that I can't count toward any incomplete categories.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was already nominated, so I don't have a regular April nominee, but my Fool's Choice nominee is Kill It With Fire.

Stowaway has assorted data for two different games. One can be found at its Steam link and the other at its itch.io link.

My list already includes two unrelated games that have a giant, crown-wearing pig that charges at you as a boss. Maybe that should be a category. 😆

These appear to be different versions of the same game: /game/145350 & /game/36582

Naheulbeuk's Dungeon Master: 163125 appears to be a duplicate of 129971.

Edit: GC Tuba beat me to it.

One month in and I'm doing better than I had expected. So far I'm just slotting in games that I play into categories they fit into. Once the categories are narrowed down more, I'll probably pick some games to fit specific ones.

For the game of the month, I nominate Wolfenstein 3D.
For the 10 year anniversary, I nominate Aviary Attorney.

This is my first year participating. I'm only going for bronze, because I don't want it to become a chore. Being late for itchmas gave me a strong start.
