Kusch dies horribly at the beginning of each chapter, and foiling the killer involves leaping through time and seriously disrespecting the temporal prime directive in order to stop him. Set entirely in Lebensbaum across a variety of time periods, from the 1500s to the present day, it’s a game about carelessly meddling with the space-time continuum to save the life one man, with no regard for the ensuing chronological fallout. Shadow of Memories-or Shadow of Destiny as it’s known in some regions-was released for PC in 2003, and it’s a deeply weird game. He activates it and finds himself back in Lebensbaum hours before he died, and sets about thwarting his mysterious murderer’s plans.
It hands him a device called a Digipad, which Kusch learns he can use to travel back in time and prevent his own death. In an eerily calm, slightly sinister voice it says it’s giving him a second chance at life. A grandfather clock ticks loudly as he picks himself off the floor, then an odd being calling itself Homunculus appears before him. Kusch wakes up in a strange, otherworldly void.
