Life is a paradox. Change one thing, change everything. We are but walking contradictions of past, present and future selves. A saint in one world, a killer in another and both true and not true at the same time. If I could go back…would I change anything? Would I do things differently knowing that the slightest change could trigger a snowball that tumbles and grows to become an avalanche of death and destruction?

Unlockable character Memories include:

• Sally Smithson (The Nurse) – THE CLEANSING OF CROTUS PRENN
  
• Yui Kimura – CRASH AND BURN
