Flashback

In 2142, scientist Conrad B. Hart wakes on the colonised moon Titan with his memory erased. Hunted and far from Earth, he follows clues as he tries to get home and uncover an extraterrestrial threat.

Play through a cinematic 2D adventure combining deliberate platforming, gunfights, exploration and environmental hazards. Finding objects and solving inventory puzzles help Conrad get past obstacles and progress through each area.

Combat and movement reward careful timing; Conrad can use a rechargeable shield, and later challenges involve tools such as a teleporter. This edition adds optional visual filters, remastered sound and music, tutorials, and a rewind feature whose availability varies with difficulty.

Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a nostalgic return to a memorable sci-fi adventure, praising its atmosphere, story, hand-drawn environments and fluid character animation. Some also value the platforming and puzzles once they adjust to its deliberate controls, and several appreciate rewind as a way to recover from mistakes. Opinions are mixed: many reviews criticize the controls as stiff or awkward, while some also report save problems or dislike changes to the remaster’s visuals and sound.
