Share the "Media Whose Name You Forgot" from your childhood in hopes someone knows what it is

The plot of the second thing you mentioned sounds oddly familiar…
I wonder why…

a game at a library on a computer which involved organs, in which you could see their names, and squish them with a virtual finger showing how tough/soft they were.

a game on my dad’s old iphone(iphone 3-4 ish, glossy graphics though, so probably old) I played when I was very little, and it was this game, where these notes would jump up and you had to tap them to add puzzle pieces, and there was the good storyline, and there were song titles and levels like “kiss a queen” and "revenge of ____"and there was this blackish redish boss I think in the "revenge of _____"song, that would attack you, although I forgot how exactly, probably if you messed up. The icon is this note with some sunglasses, and the notes in the game make noises. If you do well, they will give you a “C”, “B”, “A”, or “S”, and if you were really bad, which was me for a while, given the really little age, it would give you no letter I believe. I played it up until about 2nd grade when that phone suddenly started losing battery quickly, and although it still works to this day, it pretty much has to be stuck to the charger constantly to play.
Probably not exactly lost media though.

I spent a long time trying to find this. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything, but I found this masterpiece of all times

A game for computers where you play as a fish and eat smaller fishes. You unlock new ones as you play, the final fish is a shark (great white?) and the final mission is defeating another shark (megalodon?), defeating it puts a text on the screen with phrases like “it went back to the fringes it came to, ecosystem is restored” but I may be creating new memories. It may be a flash player game.

Feed and grow fish.
is your first one

maybe?

Maybe use a term other than “lost media”. The term “lost media” gives me the willies thinking about scary scary lot media creepypastas, and I don’t want the compulsions(I may have mild ocd, but now it is even less prominent) to push me down that spiral of googling things I do not want google.
Maybe use the word"media that’s name you forgot", which I know is corny.

I don’t want to upset anyone so let’s go with the cheesy

I don’t get that impression at all. I think lost media is a pretty cool term, though usually it is used for things that you cannot find online but now what they are, instead of using it to talk about stuff you kind of remember but not enough to actually find it.

my impression is obscure, scary media that was pulled away from the public, and due to it’s obscurity, I find the term unnerving

Then it would be “Thrive Unsolved” not “lost media”, lost media is obviously refering to media that was lost, not removed voluntarily.

There was a game I remember playing at a apple store around 2017-2018, and it was on this ipad where there was this game where:

  1. There was this hooded main character
  2. If I remember right it was something related to lights being stolen in africa if I remember right
  3. The antagonist was this floating grey crab creature
  4. Main gameplay was tapping the correct symbol to jump from stone to stone
  5. Only dialogue I remember was the crab creature saying"I will devour you"
  6. Had decent graphics, and if I am right, the game was set during night
  7. Game had levels

I had something like this recently, I had a dream some haunting dream and I woke up with random jumbled words in my head “gladiator, dog, princess, robot”
It was a show I watched on television a few times when I was a toddler. I never finished it.
For years I wanted to watch the final episodes and finish the series, but I never did. The I forgot about it.
But after I remembered I was consumed with a need to find out what the series was, but nothing I did worked.
Eventually I just resorted to coming through the list of animated shows on Wikipedia, eventually I found it.
It was a South Korean/Spanish show called Eon Kid, I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet but it’s all on youtube so I’ll probably watch it soon.
This had already happened before a few times with some other shows, as well as a few that were genuinely dreams.

I remember the game, it was like a puzzle game, on some island, the game had heat and cold mechanics, at some point in the game you had to activate some kind of monoliths all over the island, sometimes some kind of giant creature appeared on the island, from which you had to hide, and also at some point you could see a werewolf chained in chains in the caridor.

was it a flash game? There are plenty of obscure flash games out there.

No, it was clearly not a flash.

I also remember a blue and red crystal/artifact that could warm and cool

what year was it from, or about what year was it?

2013-2015
As far as I remember

When i was young, my favorite game was one where you could play as a bunny making a town, and also there were deer bombs that killed deer for some reason.
I always searched up bunny town, and i never found it. It could very well be lost media now.

Did you find disney content?
