This is the first game from the newly established European research and development team (you guessed it) Konami of Europe Research and Development.
"We are very proud to see our Research and Development gearing up for its first release", commented Konami of Europe President Kunio Neo. "Konami has taken its Europe operation very seriously for many years now and his further underlines our commitment to the market".
Shadow of Memories is similar in design to Yu Suzuki’s masterpiece Shenmue, complete with an interesting plot.
It’s game over from the start, however, as the main hero of the game, Eike, is already dead. You must travel through time to alter events in different time periods to affect the future. Multiple endings add replayability to the title.
It’s strange, but it works. With ingenious puzzle-solving, a twisting plot, and a good mixture of adventure and exploration, Shadow of Memories is well worth checking out.
