PROLOGUE
Eike loses his life at the hands of an unknown assailant. Eike recovers consciousness in a strange Darkness. Here, guided by the mysterious Homunculus, he obtains a time travel device – the DIGIPAD – that allows
him to change the course of his tragic destiny.
Activating the device, Eike finds himself in a familiar coffee shop 30 minutes prior to his untimely demise. With only half an hour remaining before the ill-fated moment, Eike has to find a way to prevent his death.
Travelling between past and present, using trial and error, Eike must change his fate. Will Eike be able to alter the course of time and change his destiny?
THE OBJECTIVE
At the outset of the game, Eike will meet an untimely death. The object of the game is to change the course of history and prevent this unfortunate event. The game consists of ten chapters, and in each chapter, Eike finds himself in mortal danger. The game progresses each time Eike avoids the dangers presented, and manages to outwit his deathly fate.

GAME CONTROLLERS
Shadow of Destiny™ supports joypads providing they have been correctly setup within the Windows-Gaming Options control panel and a game profile has been created within your controller software.
Once correctly setup, launch Shadow of Destiny™ and select ‘Joypad’ from the Options/Controller menu.
OVERALL MAP
The blue mark represents the player’s current position and the direction the player is facing. Use the cursor keys or mouse to move the arrow and select the names of the areas that you wish to inspect. If you have more than one map, you can switch
between them by pressing the Delete and Page Down keys.
GAME OVER/DEATH
If Eike is unable to solve a problem before time expires, his unknown assailant will kill him in accordance with his fate. Following his "death", Eike will return to the "Darkness" where Homunculus will provide him with hints for survival. From there, Eike will once again find himself
resurrected in the past and the game continues.
If the time limit expires while Eike is moving back in time, he will be thrown into "Time Limbo" where he will be unable to return to the past. When this occurs, the game is over.
