Well, for certain this game has generated more fan fiction and fan-written screenplays for a film then any video game I've ever seen over the past (nearly) two decades. As far I'm aware though, I don't think Eric Chahi actually released along with the game any official tie-in merchandise such as a novel or comic books, except for a poster which is now exceptionally rare and rarely a copy pops up on ebay. I think there were cards featuring original artwork and concept drawings which came in the original game box, and that was pretty much it. Shame, really, because even today it remains one of the best video games of all time. As well as being years ahead of its time, it was visually arresting and had an engrossing, if somewhat enigmatic, plot. A novelization would have been perfect to expand on and shed some light on this plot, and also to show us more of the fascinating world Chahi envisioned.

Flashback was good, but Another World was far superior to any other game of that era, and especially superior to its (non-canon) sequel Heart of The Alien.

I'm not aware of any Flashback tie-in merchandise either. Love your collection of favourite movies mate, and your taste in video games
