Sometime later, it is mentioned that Margarete is now reunited with her biological parents, the Brums, who adopted her, though it appears that none of them are aware of their true relation to each other. While returning the digipad to Homunculus, Eike accidentally drops the device and kills him. Wagner-as Eike had requested-because he was not dead. Homunculus reveals he couldn't call up the spirit of the real Dr. Homunculus creates a puppet resembling Wolfgang Wagner to attempt to dissuade Hugo from his plans, and after a short discussion, the puppet and Hugo disappear in a haze of smoke. Furthermore, it is revealed that the fortune teller is the trapped, disembodied spirit of Hugo's mother, Helena Wagner, brought back after a failed attempt by Hugo to revive her. In Ending A, Eike discovers that Homunculus switched the infants Dana and Margarette, making modern-day Dana actually Margarete Wagner and medieval-Margarette actually Dana Brum. In all endings, he discovers that Homunculus was using him to ensure that he would be "created" (actually unsealed) by Wagner, and returns the digipad to him. The endings are presented in an alphabetical format, A–E, with B having two variations, and then two "EX" endings. The last two must be unlocked by achieving the first six. Shadow of Memories consists of eight endings, with six available at first. Depending on the player's actions, Hugo holds either Margarette or Dana hostage in the present and plans to use the red stone, revealed to be the Philosopher's stone, to resurrect his mother. Time-traveling ten days later, Eike discovers that the result of Wagner's experiment destroyed the lab and caused Hugo, already upset by his mother's death, to build a time machine and track Eike down with the intent of killing him. Given a red stone by Dana, Eike follows the Homunculus' instructions to give the stone to Wagner. Wolfgang Wagner, an alchemist living in 1580 with two children, Hugo and Margarette 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 in a shooting Dr. Eike explores four eras-2001, 1980, 19-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, 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 his murder and unmask his murderer. For example, the early twentieth century is depicted in grey tones while 1580 appears in earth-colored ones. The color tone varies depending on which era Eike time-travels to.
