![]() Homonculus might say something about "destiny getting too tangled up." Don't worry about this. Sometimes you'll get a Game Over and you won't know why. ![]() Traveling randomly to available ages wastes Energy Units and can lead to frustration. If you don't know what do to or where to go, check your Notebook and try to think it through. Keep a surplus of Energy Units and, more importantly, find out where they spawn in each age. I advise to explore the game and experiment first, and if you're really stuck or want to know how to get a specific ending, consult here. I've tried to include some interesting things you'll encounter over the course of the game, but for the most part this is a bare-bones guide that will simply get you through the game, to the various endings. Shadow of Destiny is an extraordinary adventure game because it has so many optional actions and conversations available to the player. If you know of differences contact me or add an appendix to the end of this walkthrough. I have not played the PC version, so I am not aware if there are any differences. This walkthrough is for the PS2 version of Shadow of Destiny. It is totally accurate, but please excuse if I come off as a weirdo. Shadow of Memories is available on PS2, PSP and PC.(Editor's note: I was in the 10th grade when I wrote this walkthrough. That this game was not successful, is a sad reminder that we do not embrace stupidity enough in our society. If you are looking for an overlooked Japanese game to get into this year, could do with plenty of laughs, and are willing to look past the fact that the game was developed by the industry equivalent to Skeletor, get yourself Shadow of Memories. It’s dumb, it’s glorious, and I could not recommend it enough. One of the endings in particular had me falling to the floor, with any attempts to stand torn asunder by another burst of the most suffocating laughter I have ever experienced. From abandoning the girl he’s feebly attempting to flirt with in the 14 th century, to attempting to delay his own death by pitching a time travel movie to a director, the stupidity of the protagonist and of the game itself, provides endless amusement. The puzzles are also confusing, sloppy and designed by somebody who has a very strange idea of how cause and effect actually works.Īnd I died laughing. Again, the story is a completely insane mess. The main character, who spends the entirety of the game in a state of total shock and surprise anytime somebody so much as crosses the street, has to prevent his own death through a time machine granted to him by a demon homunculi. The story is a completely insane mess about time travel, fate, alchemy, death and mysticism. Sure, that’s not exactly a rave review, but ‘fairly competent puzzles’ is the best of what this game provides. ![]() As it stands, Shadow of Memories is a fairy competent puzzle/adventure game. If it were, the whole experience could be written off as ‘basically not worth it’. See, unlike a lot of awful games, the gameplay in this one isn’t that bad. Called Shadow of Destiny by our North American counterparts (which… kinda makes more sense), this is one of the greatest worst games ever made. Shadow of Memories is an outright terrible game. But the company we shall be focusing on today is the monolithic and hatred-inducing Konami, a company who appear to be capable of only making outright fantastic games, that they then punish their developers for, or outright terrible games… that they then punish their developers for. The country has produced games ranging from the epic fantasy stories of the Final Fantasy games, to the outright weirdness of games like Catherine. Japan has also bred some of the greatest development companies active today such as the whimsical, fun and rainbow-vomit-inducing Nintendo and the great Square Enix. Gaming may well have embedded itself into many cultures, particularly in western society, but no nation has been more impacted by the medium than Japan.
