Hangman's Giveaway

Three mystery games are up for grabs and you’re playing a game of hangman to get them.
You guess the name - you get the game.

All the concealed games’ names are exactly as they appear on their Steam store pages and need to be guessed as such (NOT license package names, NOT in-library names).
All possible characters are in play (letters, numbers, spaces, colons, ™, ®, etc.).
Character requests are case-insensitive, but I reveal them in their proper case.
Every requested character is filled into all the mystery games’ names at the same time.
I’ll do reveals in bulk - for whatever shows up before an update.

Each player can request one character every 24 hours.
Each player can guess a game’s name at any time.
Each player gets only one guess (total, not per game).

The game will be played on one of these difficulty levels - as selected by DiscoBot:
DL#1: The lengths are revealed at the beginning and characters are filled into their absolute positions
DL#2: The lengths are revealed at the beginning, but characters are filled in their relative positions
DL#3: The lengths are unknown and characters are filled in their relative positions

Examples

The mystery game is Garfield Kart

DL#1
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽]
you >>> gimme F
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][˽˽˽f˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽˽]
you >>> gimme A
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][˽a˽f˽˽˽˽˽˽a˽˽]
you >>> gimme space
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][˽a˽f˽˽˽˽ ˽a˽˽]

DL#2
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][]
you >>> gimme F
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][f]
you >>> gimme A
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][afa]
you >>> gimme space
me >>> [Game#1][length=13][af a]

DL#3
me >>> [Game#1][length=?][]
you >>> gimme F
me >>> [Game#1][length=?][f]
you >>> gimme A
me >>> [Game#1][length=?][afa]
you >>> gimme space
me >>> [Game#1][length=?][af a]

I think I just might know the 2nd game already.
Never mind, the capitalization would be off.

I have a new hunch now.

I’ve just realized trailing spaces won’t be discernible without clear visual boundaries, so I’m adding enclosing brackets for the games’ names as well.
(I’m also removing the formatting space that was present between [Game#X][length=?] and the games’ names so far.)

[Game#1][length=?][ae Aae   e]
[Game#2][length=?][SAE ea S]
[Game#3][length=?][aee ]
