Wolfgang Wagner, an alchemist living in 1580 with his wife, Helena, and their two children, Hugo and Margarete and Alfred Brum, the great-grandfather of Eckart. Along the way he encounters several characters: Dana, a modern-day waitress whom he accidentally brings back to the year 1580 and loses the present-day fortune teller, who tells Eike the hour of his death Eckart Brum, the curator of a private art museum who lost his wife and infant daughter in a shooting Dr. ![]() Eike explores four eras-2001, 1979/1980, 19 to 1584 - as he attempts to unmask his killer and figure out a way of stopping his own murder at various points in the present. However, he is resurrected by Homunculus (voiced by Charles Martinet in English), a djinn or genie, who offers to send him back in time to prevent his death and gives him the time-traveling digipad. Set in a fictional German town named Lebensbaum (Life's Tree), Shadow of Memories revolves around a 22-year-old man named Eike Kusch, who dies in the beginning of the game from being stabbed after leaving a small diner. When the clock arrives at the time of Eike's death, the chapter restarts, however, if Eike is not in his time period at the time of his death, the game ends. The cut-scenes and dialogue takes up varying amounts of in-game time. The amount of time Eike spends in the different eras also passes in the present-day one. Actions taken in one time period affect future ones for example, if Eike removes a seal from the squire's manor in 1580, the seal will not appear in the present era.Īdditionally, the game keeps two digital clocks: one depicting the time in the present-day era and another for whichever era Eike time-travels to. The gameplay primarily consists of time-traveling through the different eras, finding items, and interacting through dialogue with the non-player characters. The digipad, a time-traveling item given to Eike by Homunculus, requires energy units, which the player can find scattered around the town. Shadow of Memories lacks traditional action elements, and Eike cannot attack nor does he have a bar displaying his health. In the prologue and each chapter, Eike dies, is resurrected by the non-player character Homunculus, and travels back in time before his death with the intent of changing events to prevent it. The game takes place in three parts: a prologue, eight chapters, and an epilogue. Posted on 13th July 2009 - This link will allow you to view the page even if the title changes.The objective of Shadow of Memories is to guide player character Eike Kusch through the fictional German town of Lebensbaum (Life's Tree) as he travels through time to prevent and unmask his murderer. Wish they would port more Japanese console RPGs over like they did with Last Remnant but it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. My first PC just met the requirements ^^ Will Eike be able to alter the course of time and change his destiny?Ĭheck out the hardware requirements from that time. Travelling between past and present, using trial and error, Eike must change his fate. With only half an hour remaining before the ill-fated moment, Eike has to find a way to prevent his death. Here, guided by the mysterious Homunculus, he obtains a time travel device - the Digipad - that will allow him to change the course of his tragic destiny.Īctivating the device, Eike finds himself in a familiar coffee shop 30 minutes prior to his untimely demise. Eike recovers consciousness in a strange Darkness. There's no Japanese/English voice option though I think.Įike loses his life at the hands of an unknown assailant. This seemed interesting enough because it was set in the medieval past, dealt with time travel and had multiple endings. Wanted to play some Japanese games at the time but couldn't afford a console. I still have the PC port in English as you can see. It appears there will be no new content and the adventure game will just be the same as that released back in 2001. ![]() Shadow of Memories, yet another a former PS2 game, is going to get a PSP port on October 1st.
