To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Flashback is back, updated by its original creator and powered by the Unreal Engine 3, a new generation of players can now experience a game that helped define sci-fi Action/Adventure games.

In Flashback, players will awaken to the year 2142. After fleeing from a space ship, stripped of all memory, the young scientist Conrad B. Hart finds himself on Titan, a colonized moon of Saturn.

With enemies and kidnappers snapping at his heels, Conrad must find a way back to Earth as he wards off the dangers that plague Titan - all while unraveling a fiendish extra-terrestrial plot that threatens the planet.

On its 25th anniversary, rediscover this classic, consistently ranked among the best 100 games of all time! It was one of the first games to use motion capture technology for more realistic animations, with backgrounds that were entirely hand-drawn and a gripping science-fiction storyline.
