Hey there! I'm late (again) for a cakeday puzzle, so it will be another Xmas puzzle! I hope you've been all safe during this stupidly rough year.
Edit: everything useful (puzzle text/hints/clarifications) is in this post now -> there's no need to read any of the replies.

Puzzle:

  1. Match each drawn character with the corresponding ITH question; (brute-forcing is an option, but not the clever one)
  2. Write the name of each drawn character.

The two pictures below are part of the puzzle and related to the matching part.
The characters are from games listed in the 1st picture.
The games you can win are listed in the 2nd picture.
End date: "25th Dec, 2020".
Link to the ITH here.
That's it.

Additional hints/clarifications:

  • The matching part of the puzzle doesn't involve any trial and error, unless you either decide to ignore the hints or you can't see/find them.
  • There's something hidden (in plain sight) that tells you (= it's literally written there) the game/games-Question matching order (keep in mind there're 20 ITH questions, that some characters can be from more than one game and that, in just one case, two different characters can be from the same game). This order alone + google could be enough to solve the ITH.
  • There's something hidden (in plain sight) that leads you (= it tells you where to look) to the drawing-Question matching order. This order is most useful if you already know the characters.

Bump for solved. Your drawings look really good and it wasn't hard to match the characters with some of their original images. 👍

As GabbyGabe said it's officially integrated now (since July I think), maybe upload your client if you don't see it in the list. Other plugins can be found on Github.
I'm having problems with the Steam one lately, not updating my latest achievements :/

Bump for solved. Had to brute force a couple of entries to figure out the ordering puzzle, but managed it in the end.

I don't really have the brain power these days to spend on these puzzles when I don't know which games are behind it but I wanted to say kudos on the puzzle and on the brilliant drawings and Happy Cake... Semester?

Bump!
Thanks for the puzzle. Took me a bit long to realise, what the hint meant (only noticed the important part after bruteforcing a third name), but it was smooth sailing from there!

After spending some time being frustrated, I finally solved it by finding the hints. And I can say this puzzle is absolutely solvabele even if you don't recognize the games or characters at all with a little googling and the hints provided.

Though initially frustrating, this turned out to be one of the better made puzzles on the form. So kudos to the maker and thank you ^^
