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!

Resident Evil: HD Remaster
Resident Evil: HD RemasterThe hugely popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 61 million units to date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the critically acclaimed masterpiece, Resident Evil. Originally released in 1996, Resident Evil was then “remade” in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals, gameplay elements, environments and story details while retaining the survival horror atmosphere the series had become synonymous for. Both fans of the franchise who want a trip down memory lane and those who have yet to experience the game that coined the term survival horror for the gaming world will appreciate this definitive re-visit of that iconic 2002 Resident Evil title. The intense horror fans first experienced with the release of the original Resident Evil is back. Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players will need to be brave as they adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers will need to keep their wits about them to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet them at every stage.

Shining Force
Shining ForceShining Force is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.
