Tip of my Joystick - Find games by describing it.

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

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

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:

Notable gameplay mechanics: I tried a demo of a game on Steam many moons ago, but I'm certain it no longer is on Steam. Here is what I remember:

It was a third person shooter and early on in the demo you encountered this big rug hanging on a horizontal pole in a small backroom with many crates. You could shoot the rug, and it had physics calculations, that made it move believably.

[Fig. 1]

Then you encountered enemies in a huge room with ramps. Somehow you could take control of them or use your mind powers on them somehow. They had an aura to indicate this, which I think was a light blue.

[Fig. 2]

The same level also had a puzzle with ramps that were held up with hooks on a chain. You could mind-power those hooks to move them, so that the ramp would come falling down and let you walk up, or let enemies fall down.

[Fig. 3]

I know that many signs point to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, and it looks close to what is in my mind, but I have not found any footage of the incredible rug, or the hook puzzle that I remember so clearly.
