This series is noteworthy first of all because it is the best-selling and top award-winning series of '''French''' video games.
The series can be split in two: three "core games" and two "distant sequels".


This series can be split in two: ''[[Another World]]'' and its sequel ''[[Heart of the Alien]]'' on one side, and ''[[Flashback]]'' with its sequel ''[[Fade to Black]]'' on the other. Still, the two main titles have less in common with their respective sequel than with each other.
The three '''core games''' ([[Another World]], [[Flashback]], [[Heart of Darkness]]) feature many elements in common: same authors, similar gameplay, similar "feeling" to the game. They are considered "spiritual sequels" to each other.


'''Flashback''' is the spiritual successor of ''Another World'': same development team (the French [[Delphine Software International|Delphine Soft. Intl.]]) and same graphics style. '''Heart of the Alien''' is the sequel of ''Another World'', but it's more like a bonus game based on it, and it was developed by a completely unrelated company. '''Fade to Black''' is the sequel of ''Flashback'', but it has completely different three-dimensional graphics from the other three games, and therefore different gameplay. '''Heart of Darkness''' is another spiritual successor of ''Another World'': it's made by the same author (Éric Chahi) and  features similar gameplay, but it has a fantasy setting instead of a science-fictional one.
The two '''distant sequels''' are direct sequels of two core games, but they have less elements in common with their predecessors. In particular, [[Heart of the Alien]] was developed by a completely different team and has a very different feeling to the game. Instead, [[Fade to Black]] shares the authors and game feeling of its predecessor, but has a very different gameplay.

Developer(s)Delphine Software International

Year introduced1991
Genre(s)Action-adventure

This series is noteworthy first of all because it is the best-selling and top award-winning series of French video games.

The series can be split in two: three "core games" and two "distant sequels".

The three core games (Another World, Flashback, Heart of Darkness) feature many elements in common: same authors, similar gameplay, similar "feeling" to the game. They are considered "spiritual sequels" to each other.

The two distant sequels are direct sequels of two core games, but they have less elements in common with their predecessors. In particular, Heart of the Alien was developed by a completely different team and has a very different feeling to the game. Instead, Fade to Black shares the authors and game feeling of its predecessor, but has a very different gameplay.
