About this game
A young man named Eike Kusch strolls through the quiet patriarchal German town Lebensbaum.
Suddenly, a tremendous blow darkens the sight of his eyes, and the next thing he can see is a very strange room filled with bizarre objects, and a voice talking to him from nowhere.

A mysterious being known as Homunculus tells Eike that he has been stabbed to death.
Homunculus gives Eike a time-travelling device and brings him back to life a short while before his murder took place.
From that moment on, Eike's miraculously acquired second chance turns into a constant race against time, as he tries to escape from his destiny.
In order to alter the course of events, preventing the unknown person from carrying out his murder, Eike will have to travel back in time as far as the 16th century, meeting people closely connected to his own existence and changing the fabric of reality.
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 reache
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Shadow of Destiny for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shadow of Destiny to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2002.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Shadow of Destiny, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
