After getting stabbed, you basically wander around town until you walk near the fortuneteller’s shop. It is divided into chapters, 10 in all, and each one has a certain goal for you to accomplish. The entire “game” takes place within an unidentified city. There is some interaction on the player’s part though, yet not even close to enough.
#SHADOW OF MEMORIES HOMUNCULUS MOVIE#
It is more like a multi-ended movie that allows you to slightly change how it goes. Shadow of Destiny is not a game let me just clear up that confusion before I begin. It is exactly half an hour before the knifing took place… and will take place again. He remembers the assault as well as the strange conversation with whoever it was and quickly checks his watch. In exchange for his help, the thing will revive Eike as well as give him a machine that will allow him to travel through time to change the past, thereby making it so that he won’t die in the future.Įike wakes up in a small coffee shop. Obviously, Eike sees a win-win situation and decides to assist the strange one in his plight. Should Eike not survive, the speaker would never have been born. Despite his phenomenal powers over the affairs of men, the speaker’s destiny has been altered due to Eike’s death. Under normal circumstances, this would be the end of the matter, but the speaker has a slight problem. Apparently, he is now dead, just as fate demands that he should be. A strange echoing voice awakens him.Įike lifts himself up to listen to the speaker. Moments later, Eike is transported to a hellish little corner of the afterlife known as “the Dark”. Before you even gain control of the guy, you’re killed. Now, most opening stories usually allow the hero to survive, but not this one. One day, Eike was walking down the street for no particular reason, when out of the shadows came a madman brandishing a knife. Once upon a time, in a small German village, there was a man named Eike Kusch. This rather portly fellow tricked me into spending $52 on a “game” that was not worth half of said price, and in the hopes that I can save future gamers from making my mistake, I have written this. Just the other day, an unidentified register jockey suggested that I purchase Shadow of Destiny after I asked if any PlayStation 2 RPGs were worth purchasing. From this moment on, I vow never to trust the opinion of a Funco Land employee again. Today, I have made up my mind concerning an important decision.
