still it feels nice to do I made a video on this (I do have another one follow this couple which always miss each other throughout the game which I need to still edit): There a re some little fun things you can do like the Cupcake sidequest to which you can bring some items to a character - but there is no real in-game reward per say. the objective in the chapter is always apparent. Everytime you talk to someone you lose 30 seconds to1 min of in-game time which sometimes feels like a punishment but the game isn't very long so even when I'm being too indulgent in exploration I don't feel cheated as it's easy to load up again with a save point at every chapter.Īlso I wouldn't say it has little side pass-times like arcade games or capsule machines etc. The only downside in the exploration is the time mechanic - every second you spend in the past runs parallel to the present and if you reach the time of your death in the present it's game over in t he past too. But I've also found the game to be more forgiving than a lot of point n' click A's as many of them I have played in the past often require you to do a certain thing in order to progress which is often not identified, I never had such issue with Shadow of Memories. The game is very similar to a classic point and click adventure, but with out the distraction of the point and click element - Controlling Eike with the D-Pad just feels much more compelling to me. Some chapters have different ways you can complete it which then changes aspects in later chapters. There is one decision mid game which will sort of split the endings in half & then on the last chapter you have a few different options to explore to get a certain ending. The interactivity in the narrative is more than just different endings. The NPC's have limited phrases in conversation - but you can sometimes show them items which get a reaction and like in Shenmue when you progress to a new objective there is usually something new.
There's a lot of little extra scenes which you could miss sort of like Shenmue and they're equally a treat when you find them. With this game you have the ability to go back in time and see peoples relatives through out the ages. The game has a plenty of exploration, there's a very similar community feel much like in Shenmue 1.

If you've never head of it I highly advise checking it out

I was just curious if anyone else has played this game it's on PC, Xbox, PS2 & Even PSP! While it's not similar in aesthetic and tone, I feel the actual gameplay and focus on narrative really connects closely to Shenmue. Like Shenmue, You meet townsfolk and become involved in their situations, sometimes even meeting their descendants in the past!Īlso, the games story is genuinely good and features different endings which expand the story - Also like Shenmue I find in replaying the game there's always little cutscenes of features that surprise me just from playing the game differently. The game also has a setting which just stood out to me nearly as much a Yokoska, going back in-time and seeing the similar layout in a different time is really fascinating. The game rewards exploration in thinking, as there are multiple ways to beat the chapters objective depending on the resources you can get. The game is heavily narrative driven and you spend most of your time going back in time and finding objects needed to utilise in avoiding your characters death - the cool thing is there isn't just a linear way to succeed, your actions in an earlier chapter can change the route the story goes in later chapters. I really dig this concept and the story branches out to having you go back quite far in history sometimes to change one minor detail which ripples effects within the future! Who gives you the power of time travel through a device that looks like a modern day tablet The concept of the game is to utilise Time Travel to go back to prior the moments of your death and manipulate events to erase that fate! yes that is a big deal to me!īut what is so captivating about this game is the plot! Summary, you're murdered in the street one day and then are taken to a state of Limbo, where you meet Homunculus - A half-being. The game plays like a 3D Point n' Click Adventure but you have control of the main character using the D-Pad.
I wanted to talk about one of my favourite games of all time because I think really a lot of Shenmue fans will enjoy it also!
