Instantly becoming extremely depressed, he immediately experiences a nervous breakdown and fervently wishes to be young again like Eike (who he had met earlier and who impressed him with his youthful energy), so as to have a "do-over". Upon learning of this from a newly awakened Homunculus (who appears once the Stone evaporates into smoke), Wolfgang suddenly realizes that he has ultimately wasted the majority of his adult life for literally nothing as he has neglected his family by spending virtually all of his time over the years seeking to cure his wife's progressively degenerative illness by attempting to create a Philosopher's Stone in his lab, only for her to die anyway before he ever managed to accomplish anything with Homunculus's revelation that the Philosopher's Stone is merely just the Homunculus' sealed form and not really an alchemical creation at all, it turns out that it was always impossible to begin with, already right from the very start. It is revealed in a flashback that Homunculus is actually a djinn or genie imprisoned in the form of what became known as the Philosopher's Stone, and not at all an artificial life created by Wolfgang Wagner. Unable to read the burned notes, Hugo apparently never learns about what his father was working on and thus never desires revenge or create a time machine, causing the Hugo and Margarete in the present to disappear. 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.Eike enters the ruined lab and burns Wagner's notes about the Stone, just as Hugo and Margarete enter.
If Eike fails to achieve the goal at hand within the allotted time and prevent his murder, the chapter must be restarted.ĭuring the course of the game the player will have several choices and opportunities to change the future in various ways. Time-traveling requires energy units, which can be found by exploring the town. Obtaining a crucial item, having a conversation with a specific character, or performing another action in the past will prevent Eike from getting killed. This is mainly achieved by traveling through time to different hours, days, years, and even centuries. Each chapter has a time limit, during which Eike has to find a way to prevent the murderer from killing him. There are no action elements in the game, and the protagonist has no health bar. Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in North America) is an adventure game. In order to alter the course of events, preventing the unknown person from carrying out his murder, Eike will have to travel back in time as far as the 16th century, meeting people closely connected to his own existence and changing the fabric of reality. From that moment on, Eike's miraculously acquired second chance turns into a constant race against time, as he tries to escape from his destiny. Homunculus gives Eike a time-travelling device and brings him back to life a short while before his murder took place. A mysterious being known as Homunculus tells Eike that he has been stabbed to death. Suddenly, a tremendous blow darkens the sight of his eyes, and the next thing he can see is a very strange room filled with bizarre objects, and a voice talking to him from nowhere. 5 /5A young man named Eike Kusch strolls through the quiet patriarchal German town Lebensbaum.
