Tales from the Shadows

[Ilenya]

Personally it reminds me of Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma. Only there are less stupid complex motives.

Unfortunately I do not have context for this, so I will take your word on it.

They're visual novel games that are part of the Zero Escape trilogy (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors/Virtue's Last Reward/Zero Time Dilemma). If you want context, here it is (keep in mind that the following detail is a major spoiler for the second game, VLR):

A killer virus gets released on Earth and kills most everyone, creating a terrible situation for the planet. While I think about two million manage to live and get life back to being somewhat sustainable, circumstances are still pretty bad. The main "villains" of the game, who are admittedly not exactly the most ethical people even if they are well-meaning, want to send someone's consciousness back to the past in order to prevent this future from happening.
