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.

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.

Once correctly setup, launch Shadow of Destiny™ and select

‘Joypad’ from the Options/Controller menu.
