Flashback

Flashback, also known as Flashback: The Quest for Identity, is a remake of the classic 1992 sci-fi platformer that mixes action, puzzles, and a bit of memory loss. You step into the shoes of Conrad B. Hart, a Galactic Bureau of Investigation agent who wakes up with his memory wiped. Your mission? Piece together what happened and stop an alien threat. The game blends retro vibes with smoother controls and updated visuals. If you ever enjoyed a platformer that tests patience as much as skill, this one might hit the spot.

What’s Flashback all about?

So, you find yourself on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, trying to unravel a big conspiracy. Sounds straightforward, right? Not quite. You’ll face tricky platform jumps and some head-scratchingly simple puzzles along the way. It’s the kind of game that’s easy to pick up but tricky to master. And yes, falling off platforms a few times is part of the experience. Been there, done that.
