Badlings (2006)
In 2006,Edmund McMillen got a call from a Indian Woman who said she was an investor who was looking to fund any project Edmund was interested in working on with her,Unfortunately nothing came. Badlings were going to be a series of "online pets" like Webkinz. A Month into the game,it was cancelled.

The Book of Knots (2006)
This game would make you play as a Boonie,a creature created by Quietus,the god of death who was dying himself. To save him,you needed to slay all the legendary souls in The Book of Knots.When Alex Austin (The game's programmer) and Edmund McMillen (The Artist) got the rights back to Gish,they started working on Gish 2,and the story of this game was ported to Gish 2.
