Flashback (2023)

Playing as a deliveryman navigating a stressful month in a turbulent city actually turned out to be a surprisingly engaging resource-balancing act. Juggling your attributes and deciding when to let alternate personalities take the wheel makes for a neat little indie strategy loop. For less than a buck, it's a remarkably clever narrative distraction with plenty of branching outcomes to poke through.

By far the worst of Renka's games... It's really hard to get an ending, which by itself is fine, but there's so few events that by half an hour you've already seen all of them x10. Very repetitive, boring, and disappointing, not to mention how bad the translation is. Even for the low price, it's bad.

short vn/choice game really worth the price in discount and easy to 100%. Id love to try some other games from the same developer.

i love the endings

Structurally, Flashback unfolds over a fixed timeline of thirty in-game days. Every day introduces a new event or encounter that forces you to make a decision—sometimes practical, sometimes moral, and often ambiguous. Each choice affects a set of underlying attributes that repres…
