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.

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.

This is a good guess, but I don't think the gameplay involved this much sneaking from what I can see at first glance.
