Pretty much the whole game Smile

you have forgotten Syberia2, which has the most famous flashback..

You’re right, I can’t beleive I didn’t think of including this one!

Sorry if it was a bit far-fetched, I guess it was like one of those dreaded reverse-engineered puzzles that only make sense when you know the solution. If I ever get to give another one I’ll try to make it less devious!

Not too much less devious please - I thought it was an excellent idea!
I’d add Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy to the list (and I don’t particularly remember the ‘most famous’ flashback from Syberia 2, but then I think I’ve mercifully forgotten a lot about that game…)

Back soon with a new conundrum!

Since I haven’t played the first two games, I’ll give it a wild guess that they’re all connected to Gnostic/Gnosticism?

Nah, it was totally fair, just (apparently) a difficult one, but there is nothing wrong with difficult.

I’m afraid not (and indeed I don’t believe Curses! qualifies).

The eagle rises as the morning star.
Umm, I mean not secret societies, no, I don’t know anything about any secret societies.
(A fine choice of screenshot though!)

The protagonist(s) present themselves as someone else?  Smile

N.B. I thought your common denominator NickyLarson was excellent - a real stumper!  Thumbs Up
