[I'm not sure][2015-2018?] Pixel Apocoplypse Game I watched on youtube as a kid.
I remember watching someone play it on youtube when I was a kid. The year is estamated based on the time in my life I would have seen the video. I was sorta a dumb kid so I have no idea the platform or anything like that sadly.
Platform(s): I have no way of knowing because it wasn't me playing, and me saying "Not mobile?" isn't gonna be much help ykwim?
Genre: I don't think it was horror, but somewhere in the sci-fi, survival, apocolypse. time-loop type of games.
Estimated year of release: had to be before 2018, and I would have seen the video somewhere in the 2015-18 time period but it definatly could have been released earlier than 15. 100% was pre-covid because my family had moved in like late 2018, early 2019, and it was before we had moved, bc I remember about where I was watching.
Graphics/art style: I believe it was a pixelated game. not so pixelatied as to have no detail, but I don't remember the characters having faces, though that might be just my memory being odd with some visualization stuff
Notable characters: there was a child, a (black?)man and a woman that I can remember, they were able to join the mc/pc and would follow and help. i also remember what i believe was either a gang or military/milita group that was somewhwere in there, and honestly maybe it was both at seperate times or smth? There was a point in the game where I'm pretty sure you meet a guy and his wife, and one of them dies, I can't remember if the one that survives joins the group or not. There was a part where you can seperate the group, having to decide between the child and the man to do something first, causing i believe the floor to cut out from under them, whichever one you had chosen then dying.
Notable gameplay mechanics:
Other details: I think at some point you make it to the place that has a bunch of sci-fi style pods filled with people that like... went to others worlds or some other sci-fi stuff. I think that is then when the timeline resets, and you go back to the start. some things change, and the "10 plagues of rome" style things i think change. I remember that at one point you have to prepare for the cold, but in the other timeline its heat, there were bugs and i think they change types across the times, etc (I hope that makes sense)
I remember there being a (red?) truck that you could get, and a farm house, and you could go syphen gas from a gas truck at the gas station, and then you could drive around to get things without losing too much time. I know it was sort of one of those survival gather games where you have to grab the right stuff to survive. it was the type of time management where i think travel took most of the time, and it was less actual time passing, more you do things and lose a bit of sun or whatever.
I think it might have been the start of the game, but i also remember something about a shovel, getting through a fence, and crossing some massive dessert or sand thing to get to like the town and stuff.
I pretty much remember the concepts of the video I watched. I can't remember which youtuber it was which means I cant just scroll through. Likely it was one of these youtubers, but maybe not: DanTDM, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, or someone in that era of youtube.
I'm sorry if this seems all over the place and unorganized. I kept remembering more as i was typing and making sure I had everything I possibly could from memory.
