Deliberately Monochrome: The levels set in the distant (1900's) and far past (1500's) are shown as shades of gray and sepia, respectively.This is then Double Subverted in Endings D and E. Eike assumes that Homunculus wants his soul in exchange for bringing him back to life, but Homunculus denies wanting any such thing. And he spends most of the game trying to figure out who's trying to kill him. Dead to Begin With: Eike is murdered before gameplay even begins.He's referred to as male and has a male voice, but you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a girl. Tropes used in Shadow of Memories include: Another two endings become available once the first six have been completed. The choices the player makes over the course of the game retroactively decide Eike's true origin and nature, and determine which of the six possible endings will be shown. The plot, however, swiftly becomes very complicated, as details about the reason for Eike's deaths, the possible identities of his killer, and the Homunculus's true motives are brought into play.

If Eike wants to live, he'll have to find the real reason someone's out for his blood, which may be rooted deeper in history than he can imagine. However, the killer isn't going to be put off by being thwarted just once. Pretty short game? Well, not really: Eike is promptly revived by a being called Homunculus, who offers him the chance to change his fate. The main character of the game is Eike Kusch, a young man who is killed during the game's first cutscene. It was later ported to the PC, Xbox and eventually the PSP.
