Flashback is back in a scary universe that will give you chills. Take on the role of Lucy, a young woman with strange powers, who inherits a mysterious mansion in which dark and disturbing events have taken place. Explore this eerie place and learn more about Lucy, her power, her family, and her role in this grand story.

In Flashback: Lucy, you will be travelling from era to era, discovering the mansion at different moments in time. Before and after each of Lucy’s visions, explore the mansion with her cat, Gredin, in an interactive comic strip. And, of course, discover even more original and immersive gadgets! An original game mechanism, winner of the prestigious As d'Or (France) in 2023.
