Flashback: The Quest for Identity vs The Basement Collection

Set in a future where humanity revives its space ambitions, you follow Conrad Hart through lunar bases, massive satellites, and the distant moon Titan. Each of the six distinct levels blends cinematic storytelling with classic platform challenges as you hunt for clues to restore your forgotten past. The game combines action‑packed gunplay with puzzle‑solving, all rendered in unique graphics for each stage. Encounter allies and enemies, manage hazards, and experience a narrative driven by memory loss and interstellar exploration.

The Basement Collection brings together seven of Edmund McMillen’s most beloved Flash titles, each rebuilt with enhanced graphics, new music tracks, and refined controls. Players can experience the quirky physics of Triachnid, the experimental puzzles of Coil, and the challenging platforming that led to Super Meat Boy, all in one package.
