Themes:Fantasy, Historical, Mystery
Game modes:Single player
Story:Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in North America) is an adventure game. There are no action elements in the game, and the protagonist has no health bar. Each chapter has a time limit, during which Eike has to find a way to prevent the murderer from killing him. This is mainly achieved by traveling through time to different hours, days, years, and even centuries. Obtaining a crucial item, having a conversation with a specific character, or performing another action in the past will prevent Eike from getting killed. Time-traveling requires energy units, which can be found by exploring the town. If Eike fails to achieve the goal at hand within the allotted time and prevent his murder, the chapter must be restarted. During the course of the game the player will have several choices and opportunities to change the future in various ways. Due to the time-traveling feature, many objectives can be accomplished in non-linear ways, branching the storyline and eventually resulting in eight different endings, six of which can be achieved during the first playthrough, and two others unlocked after having reached the other six.Show more

It's one of those games that's just... So unique and particularly interesting that hey, I'd say without a doubt, that there's no game like Shadow of Memories, specially today. It's weird, strange, even stupid at times, but it's also fascinating and really, really funny.

Love the time mechanic in this, especially for the time. How completing actions in the past changes the future! It gets super weird but interesting, there was a ton of endings too.
When I was in school, a friend lent me this game for the ps2 saying that there was no fighting and that i had to use my wits to go ahead. I was used to only RPGs and fighting games, so this was quite the experience. It's one of a kind game, where your choices really change a lot in the game. There is more than a way to solve chapters. There isn't a morale system, but the games shows you the consequences of your actions and even if you can travel in time, there are things you cannot change.

I think I hired this game from the video shop for the PS2 once a very long time ago and played through it over a few days, but then over the years I completely forgot it existed or that I ever played it until a few days ago I came across it again and reconnected with the distant dreamlike memory of this unusual game that consumed my life for a few days.

Half-Life
Half-LifeDr. Gordon Freeman doesn't speak, but he's got a helluva story to tell. This first-person roller-coaster initiated a new era in the history of action games by combining engrossing gameplay, upgraded graphics, ingenious level design and a revolutionary story that may not be all that it seems, told not through cutscenes, but through the visual environment.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Five Nights at Freddy's 2Welcome back to the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the old and aging animatronics are joined by a new cast of characters. They are kid-friendly, updated with the latest in facial recognition technology, tied into local criminal databases, and promise to put on a safe and entertaining show for kids and grown-ups alike! What could go wrong? As the new security guard working nights, your job is to monitor cameras and make sure nothing goes wrong after-hours. The previous guard has complained about the characters trying to get into the office (he has since been moved to day-shift). So to make your job easier, you've been provided with your very own empty Freddy Fazbear head, which should fool the animatronic characters into leaving you alone if they should accidentally enter your office. As always, Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for death or dismemberment.
