Your #1 deduction + "Monarch" equals...?

Okay, here are some new tips to speed things up:

9. Jonah's residence, stellar arabic nomenclature.

Tip #1:

Tip #2: Atrocious voice acting.

YES

Two out of two, positively brilliant!

It's not marketed as edutainment, but you do learn stuff as you play. The brrrr cold is the biggest clue there.

Here's a second clue for the same game:

Simplistic platformer. Always with someone.

I think this is Celeste? Always with someone = a general rule for rock climbing?

I think ReprobateGamer solved that one already...

Ah gotcha. I didn’t see that response in the thread. My bad!

[KSubzero1000]

No problem! I think dear Alex forgot about that one as well, to be honest!

I have a few written down that I wanted to give, but I wasn’t sure if we are supposed to wait until the ones already out there are completed...what’s the thought on that?

By all means, go right ahead! The only one left is Simon's and he'll have it solved in no time, I'm sure.

Alright, cool. Stay tuned...

Hey everyone.

Preamble time! I’ve had a great time with this thread. Subzero, thanks for coming up with some awesome clues that make my Google search history look like a tangled mess. I think they’re going to be recommending Japanese RPGs with names I can’t pronounce to me until 2027. They’re also probably wondering, what is this guy’s strange fascination with space whales? Nevertheless, I did prevail (well, twice anyway).

I’ve had some ideas rattling around in my head for clues, so I thought I’d share them with you. I can’t promise I followed the ground rules exactly: for example, when you say “don’t name a game location”, does that include the general area of the game or strictly specific places within that area? If it’s the former, then oops, please don’t read clues numbers 2 and 8. If you’ve already looked at them, then I will fall back on this general excuse: sorry, I’m new here. I hope that will suffice.

Okay! Enough typing! It’s time to...

Hey now, this isn't Mortal Kombat! Proper pronunciation please, aka NO it isn't!

Metal Gear 4?

Yeah, that's it.

"Fish accosts monarch. Mountain intervenes."

Fish: Metal Gear RAY, as you deduced.

Monarch: Metal Gear REX.

Mountain: Mount Snakemore (or ARSENAL Gear)

Congrats!

I would never have made those leaps without your hints. Thank you! It’s been bugging me for ages

I thought the football team might be Millwall and they play at The Den so Ray-Den. My leap in logic was massive but got the job done by accident. I almost went down the Ray-Man route!!
