Yes, we're diving back into C64 territory, this time with the ever-so mysterious Q-Castle from Wicosoft! This was seemingly a game that vanished off of the face of the Earth after being planned for a 1984 release & whose origins are unknown. Wicosoft is credited as the proposed publisher for this game on Gamebase64, but currently there is no information on this game & thus we are not sure if Wicosoft was responsible for it. They did make 2 other games in German though.
The image shown in the Gamebase64 page(and thus included on the Games That Weren't 64 page) shows off what seems to be a top-down adventure game, perhaps something similar to Adventure on the Atari 2600 like what Fred Gasking(the GTW64 man) thought? The origins of the image is unknown, with it assumed to be from some advertisement in an old magazine(I assume it's a German, likely West German considering the time frame, magazine, seeing as the other games are in German). In fact, like Lasertrain from an earlier thread, I'm not sure on whether or not this game exists, though at least here there's a possible image of the game in action. Like with that game, I've tried multiple search engines such as Marginalia, Yandex, Lycos, Mojeek, Dogpile & Metacrawler, all without any success on being able to find more about this mysterious game.
