One of the best adventure games based on time travel. The many ways it lets you play with cause-and-effect relationships were fun, deep, and brilliant. I spent so many hours unlocking every single outcome of each chapter. It deserves a chance to be rediscovered. The people who played it back then all share fond memories of this game.

Shadow of Memories/ Shadow of Destiny is the first game I played where I really felt like my actions really made a difference! The premise of using time-travel to prevent your own death is compelling alone, but there's more than just a time-travel gimmick! The joy comes from the exploration within the games fictional German setting, the unique characters you meet along the way and the compelling murder-mystery narrative! The good news is it isn't a long game either! It can easily be beaten within 5 hours but seeking out each ending is encouraged! I really hope Shadow of Memories/Shadow of Destiny gets another chance to be available - Please help use by voting on Gog's Dreamlist!
A game I owned but unfortunately it never worked on my PS2- I was so sad I couldn't play it because it looks so interesting! I really hope we can get a chance to have this released on here. So grateful for the community on here and the possibility of this being on GOG.
A hidden gem, comfy and atmospheric. I played this game when i was 9. I never forgot about it. Every now and then i watch a walkthrough, just to get the chills.
When of the most ambitious release titles on a console imo. Storyline amazing. Gameplay very unique. Some of the scenes and endings are amazing and the voice acting is fantastic. This needs a re release

I recently Lucked out and boght this master piece on PC. Mario Mario's Voice is AMAZING it is crazy what he went on to later but this game was so fun its a great game with flaws but a time travel story without those are impossible.
Bizarre but very beautiful game of its time for a 2002 game, some time traveling concept murder mystery to stop your death, very ambitious and creative and just one of a kind of a game that we don't get as much anymore, solid voice acting and different gameplay, it stands out and is very storytelling focused, i just can never forget about it, it deserves its flowers and to be brought back, i believe GOG was made to revive games like this, it's highly overlooked and slept on, if someone this gets revisited it would be highly beloved today as classic PS2 game.
I finished this game multiple times on PC. The audio was worse but hey, at least Konami already ported it 20 years ago. Hope this gets remastered soon! The gameplay and the story is so unique!

I played through this game back when I had my physical video game collection(of mostly PS2 games). I remember really enjoying it! The story was very much up my alley, with time travel and alchemy magic, and I also really enjoy pure adventure games. I think this game is quite unique, and I haven't played anything quite like it since.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!
Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe). In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies. It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.
