Designed and developed by Paul Cuisset (developer of the original Flashback) in collaboration with Microids, Flashback 2 follows Conrad B. Hart as he combats the Morph invasion once again with the help of his allies to locate his lifelong friend Ian. The game features five different unique levels, a polished weapon upgrade and inventory system, darkness-based stealth mechanics, and much more. From the developers:

In the 22nd century, the peace of the United Worlds extends throughout the Solar System — but this tranquility is threatened by the Morph invasion led by the fearsome General Lazarus.
