However, he is resurrected by Homunculus (voiced by Charles Martinet in the first English dub), 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 Germany town named Lebensbaum (The Tree of Life), 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 Germany town of Lebensbaum (Life's Tree) as he travels through time to prevent 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.
