This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

Example:

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

I saw a video on YouTube a while back talking about obscure games (I've been searching for this particular video but I can't find it anywhere) and one of the games featured was a surreal, almost nightmarish looking game. It was a first person game where you were moving down a long road that had eyeballs on the sides watching you as you passed by. The sky was blood red and in the distance was completely black. If I remember correctly it looked like a retro game with 2.5d graphics.

I don't know if it was fever dream but I swear I've seen this game before.

Mouthwashing? Relatively new horror adventure. Played in first person and featuring retro graphics. It's strange and awesome.

This looks the closest. It's something like this but everything is more red. But very close

Eclipsium?

Look at 5:40. It's a cave, not a big road though. Maybe the rest of the game features a road somewhere.

YES! This is it! Oh thank goodness I wasn't tripping balls

I'm glad you've found your game! Could you add the title of the game to the title of the post?

Probably not what you're looking for, but maybe Golden Light?
