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.
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.

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 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.

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.
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

Timeless classic... get it? But yeah I loved this game playing it on my ps2 a few years ago. I'd love if more people got to experience it. I feel like it deserves more recognition amongs the wider general audiences
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 remember playing this game on the PS2 and loving it - trying to get all the different endings was a real challenge, but I enjoyed the way the story paid off. Would love to buy it again!

Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.
