This Weird Time Travel Adventure Makes Me Miss The Days When Konami Made Cool, Interesting Games
In 2003, Konami released a really strange game for the PS2. Shadow of Destiny (also known as Shadow of Memories in some regions) is an atmospheric adventure game about a guy trying to prevent his own murder, set across a variety of time periods—from the 1500s to the present day. Protagonist Eike Kusch, one of the worst designed characters in video game history, is repeatedly killed by an unseen assailant, including at the very beginning of the game. He’s walking obliviously along a cobbled street in the historic German town of Lebensbaum, before suddenly slumping to the ground with a knife in his back.
