Shadow of Destiny

Shadow of Destiny is an adventure game. There are no action elements in the game, and the main character has no health bar. Each chapter has a time limit in which Eike must find a way to prevent the murderer from killing him. This is mainly done by traveling through time to different hours, days, years, and even centuries. By finding an important item, talking to a specific character, or performing another action in the past, Eike can prevent himself from being killed. Time travel requires energy units, which can be found while exploring the city. If Eike does not reach the goal within the given time and cannot prevent his murder, the chapter must be restarted. Throughout the game, the player has several options and opportunities to change the future in different ways. Thanks to the time travel feature, many goals can be achieved in a non-linear way, causing the plot to branch out and ultimately resulting in eight different endings, six of which can be reached on the first playthrough, with two more unlocked after the other six have been achieved.
