Genres:Adventure, Puzzle
Themes:Fantasy, Historical, Mystery
Game modes:Single player
Story:Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in North America) is an adventure game. There are no action elements in the game, and the protagonist has no health bar. Each chapter has a time limit, during which Eike has to find a way to prevent the murderer from killing him. This is mainly achieved by traveling through time to different hours, days, years, and even centuries. Obtaining a crucial item, having a conversation with a specific character, or performing another action in the past will prevent Eike from getting killed. Time-traveling requires energy units, which can be found by exploring the town. If Eike fails to achieve the goal at hand within the allotted time and prevent his murder, the chapter must be restarted.
During the course of the game the player will have several choices and opportunities to change the future in various ways. Due to the time-traveling feature, many objectives can be accomplished in non-linear ways, branching the storyline and eventually resulting in eight different endings, six of which can be achieved during the first playthrough, and two others unlocked after having reached the other six.Show more

It's one of those games that's just... So unique and particularly interesting that hey, I'd say without a doubt, that there's no game like Shadow of Memories, specially today. It's weird, strange, even stupid at times, but it's also fascinating and really, really funny.
Love the time mechanic in this, especially for the time. How completing actions in the past changes the future! It gets super weird but interesting, there was a ton of endings too.
When I was in school, a friend lent me this game for the ps2 saying that there was no fighting and that i had to use my wits to go ahead. I was used to only RPGs and fighting games, so this was quite the experience. It's one of a kind game, where your choices really change a lot in the game. There is more than a way to solve chapters. There isn't a morale system, but the games shows you the consequences of your actions and even if you can travel in time, there are things you cannot change.
I think I hired this game from the video shop for the PS2 once a very long time ago and played through it over a few days, but then over the years I completely forgot it existed or that I ever played it until a few days ago I came across it again and reconnected with the distant dreamlike memory of this unusual game that consumed my life for a few days.
Games like this were expirmental, and I personally think they nailed it! This is a hidden gem of a game, that was soo fun and interesting. I do believe there are multiple paths and multiple endings to the storyline.
Never forget, buying this game for around $20 USD at a Mall for the PC, as soon as it hit this price. One of my favorite adventure games and one of the most underrated of all time, IMHO. Without giving away too much here: you are killed and are brought back to life & brough backwards in time, all to try and solve your murder & unmask the murderer. Choices matter & the game has numerous endings - but this game's built in such a way to get the most understanding out of the entire game is to try & earn every single solitary ending b/c of what it's trying to do and say here. There's also a time mechanic & you have you to do whatever the task is/tasks are and make decisions in a certain amount of time, too. This is also an early type of cinematic-style CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) game before TellTale with Jurassic Park & The Walking Dead Seasons and also Quantic Dream's Fahrenheit. Must play stuff.
This is simply an unforgettable game and one of the most unique ones I've ever seen. It's the kind of game that even if you lose the details over time, you can't get it out of your head. randomly think about it all the time. I have the discs for this game but haven't been able to get them to work with modern OSs. There is an interesting time mechanic, branching storylines with multiple endings, and your choices REALLY matter. It gets a little weird and even to this day feels somewhat like a fever dream to me.
