Time Periods

Time periods are the different eras you can travel to in Shadow of Memories. Eike would travel to them with the use of the digipad, but can only travel to time periods related to him in some way. Each action the player takes in the different time period affect future ones. There are four time periods to vist overall. Each time period and the characters that inhabit them have a distinct colour tone with Eike remaining the same.

1580's[]

The 1580's is the earliest time period in the timeline and is one out of the few time periods that is not changed due to time travel, as it can only be used by Eike to alter future eras. It is home to the Wagners along with many ancestors of the present day citizens of Lebensbaum. Since this period is from the early days of Lebensbraum's history many buildings from the present day are not built yet. The colour scheme for this era is a earthy yellowish-brown. The dates that Eike spends here are:

18th November 1580
24th May 1582
3rd August 1584
13th August 1584

This time period changes from 1979 to 1980 once Eike reaches Chapter 6. These two time periods are the only ones to feature true past versions of present day characters. These include a young Oleg Franssen, a younger jogger, Eckart Brum, café owner, Barman and Miriam Brum. The colour tone for 1979 is a deep blueish tint, while 1980 has a slight white tint since it is set during a snowstorm. The dates that Eike visits here is:
