@billy#16606 shadow the hedgehog
@kory @treefroggy Both incorrect, although both guesses share some elements with the correct answer.
@billy#16606
I see a lot going in in the negative space of the image. It's kind of like that optical illusion of the "vase" or two faces looking at each other thingie. I definitely see some letters starting to form in the background of which that "V," which really looks more like an M is most apparent. The way the typeface appears is, to me, a major clue... My best guess is Siren.
everyone's in the right ballpark, I think the image is going harder than necessary for this game….
@SuperEffective#16637 Not Siren.
There are definite chunks of the game's artwork in there, but I will say that the 'v' is not typographic. The game's (english) title contains neither V nor M.
@rejj#16607 was on to something when they picked up on the pallette.
@treefroggy#16635 was on to something when they named that Sonic spin-off.
Sonic Forces?
@kory#16655 Not a Sonic-related game.
shadow tower?
@seasons#16658 Nope, slightly older. Pre-PlayStation.
This game was originally released on two systems, a few years apart. It was also re-released relatively recently.
@billy#16669 Cool Spot???
Kid Dracula?
@Kez#16700 correct!

@billy#16731 I really love the image that came from this one. You can really see aspects of Kid Dracula in it but also tonally doesn't fit it at all.
Populous
we tried something different with this one, one image using a less video-gamey version of the title, which produced a more literal image. The one here is the “videogamey” version
@bodydouble#16855 Not populous, and not any kind of grassy strategy game.
@yeso#16902 Indeed! yeso presented me with two images and I chose this one, because I thought it looked nicer! I feel that this image is very clearly drawing from the game. I'll happily share the second one if people aren't getting close.
Uhhhh Pac-Man? That's not right…
@CidNight#16906 Not Pac-Man! Quite a bit less old than the guesses we have had so far.
Going off the hint about the name of the game giving a very literal picture, is it Flower?
