A cemetery in the swamp, July 30, 1923: A man is his twenties is standing next to an open crypt, a horrified expression on his face. The meager light of his lantern reveals a set of stairs leading into the depths of a dark and foul-smelling crypt. Next to him are a backpack, a spade, and a portable telephone, whose wire leads down the stairs into the darkness. “Get out! Push back the grave slab and RUN!” cries a panicked voice through the receiver. “I can’t leave you, Harley,” he answers in a trembling voice. His gaze shifts to the heavy grave slab they pushed aside. “Harley, can you hear me?” he screams. A crackling noise over the receiver makes him pause. Then a hollow, gelatinous, disembodied voice echoes through the receiver: “YOU FOOL, HARLEY IS DEAD.” The man begins laughing hysterically. To protect his sanity, his heart stops and he drops down dead.In UNDO - Forbidden Knowledge tragedy strikes on a graveyard in a swamp, in 1923’s City of Arkham: A man, standing by an open crypt, realizes the existence of something so terrifying that, in shock, he suffers an immediate cardiac arrest. Set in the mythical world of H.P. Lovecraft, players of this UNDO case are bound to cross paths with otherworldly horrors.
Goa, India, May 1972: Nervously, a person skims over yesterday’s news article: “International expedition disaster in the Himalayas. All 7 members of a mountaineering group are believed to have died during a summit ascent in the Himalayan Mountains. Included were citizens from England and the USA. The disparate group had left …” The person gazes out the train’s window deep in thought. Was this finally the end of days of flight? At the station a colorfully dressed figure greets the individual: “Welcome to Palolem Beach! I’m Jamie.”“I’m Alex,” the person replies and smiles, because they’ve always liked that name.In UNDO – Peak of No Return, players learn the rules and encounter the starting situation of the case on the first few cards, which also guide them through the setup. Once the setup is complete, players carry out nine time jumps. Every jump takes them to one independent moment from the past and allows them to change that moment in one of three ways, which may change the starting situation for better or for worse. The players need to discuss what they know and try to come up with theories about the story, using the clues they gather from the different time jumps. Only by continuously adapting their theories and making the right choices will they successfully change fate and save the life of not one, but a whole group of people!

Time heals all wounds, they say, but the sudden death of a loved one sometimes shakes those who are left behind so much that their faith wavers. To prevent this, the gods send fate weavers to change the past and prevent death. In the game series Undo, players slip into the role of these destiny weavers and do everything in their power to undo sudden deaths — whether murder or suicide. Not only do they travel minutes or hours back in time, but sometimes thousands of years to change events that have laid the foundation for the later stroke of fate. Sometimes a leap into the future can also provide important information.
The Undo series combines the theme of time travel with emotional, extraordinary stories that players must assemble piece by piece. Each time jump gives them another choice in how they can change the past — and not every change is a turn for the better!
Undo: Curse from the Past is one of the first three Undo titles.

In his jacket a telephone rings with the melody of "Moonlight Sonata" and on the table lie cherry blossom branches...
