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.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake. MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them. Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning. Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.
