She is held hostage by Hugo (again, neither of them nor Eike are aware of their true relation to each other). In Ending E, Eike asks Dana, the actual Margarete Wagner (his biological daughter, based on Ending D, though neither is aware of this), to return with him to the present in which she grew up, and she agrees. Eike is then revealed to be a de-aged twenty-something Wolfgang Wagner who permanently loses his memories on a periodic basis. Homunculus grants his wish in gratitude for being unsealed but after Wolfgang tries to reseal him with a pentagram, he curses him 'to suffer the eternal night of youth': eternal youth coupled with perpetual recurring amnesia. Extremely depressed, he wishes to be young again like Eike (who he had met earlier and who impressed him with his youth), so as to have 'do-over'. Wolfgang realizes that he has ultimately wasted his life and neglected his wife for nothing. It is revealed that Homunculus is actually a djinn or genie imprisoned in the Philosopher's Stone, and not at all an artificial lifeform created by Wolfgang Wagner. Unable to read the burned notes, Hugo apparently never learns about what his father was working on and thus never desires revenge or create a time machine, causing the Hugo and Margarete in the present to disappear. In Ending D, Eike enters the ruined lab and burns Wagner's notes about the stone, just as Hugo and Margarete enter. After Homunculus' departure, Eike lies down in the street to look at the stars, only to be run over by two drunk men in a car. Margarete collapses, and Eike returns to the present, where he gives the Digipad back. Hugo rushes to stop him, and the two make contact, causing both Hugos cease to exist due to a dimensional paradox. Margarete gets in his way, and he threatens and tries to strike her with his cane. When Eike reveals his presence in an effort to stop young Hugo from listening, the older version panics and tries to escape up the stairs. Hugo searches for his father's research while an elderly Hugo appears with a time machine and offers to teach him to use it. Both variations conclude with Eike's decision to have a drink at the bar in celebration of living. Hugo apologizes and returns to the past with Margarete. B2 sees Hugo attempt to abandon Margarete in the present, only to have Eckart subdue and scold him (neither he nor Margarete are aware of their true relation to each other). He then returns Margarete to the past in which she grew up (though the present is actually her birth-era). In B1, Eike discovers the fortune teller's identity and convinces Hugo to enter the hut to meet with her Helena causes the building to collapse, killing Hugo, who agrees to commit suicide in order to be reunited with his mother (though it is not mentioned if her spirit is actually freed by this). While meeting up in the square, Eike and Margarete return to the spot where Homunculus died, only to discover a full-grown tree which contains the Philosopher's stone.Įnding B contains two variations: B1 and B2. Depending on the outcome of a certain time-travelling sub-quest, Eckart's wife and Margarete's mother, Miriam Brum, may or may not be alive as well (she was implied to have been killed by a seemingly stray bullet while taking a walk with her baby, in the original time-line). Sometime later, it is mentioned that Margarete is now reunited with her biological parents, the Brums, who adopted her, though it appears that none of them are aware of their true relation to each other. While returning the digipad to Homunculus, Eike accidentally drops the device and kills him. Wagner-as Eike had requested-because he was not dead. Homunculus reveals he couldn't call up the spirit of the real Dr.

Homunculus creates a puppet resembling Wolfgang Wagner to attempt to dissuade Hugo from his plans, and after a short discussion, the puppet and Hugo disappear in a haze of smoke. Furthermore, it is revealed that the fortune teller is the trapped, disembodied spirit of Hugo's mother, Helena Wagner, brought back after a failed attempt by Hugo to revive her. In Ending A, Eike discovers that Homunculus switched the infants Dana and Margarette, making modern-day Dana actually Margarete Wagner and medieval-Margarette actually Dana Brum. In all endings, he discovers that Homunculus was using him to ensure that he would be 'created' (actually unsealed) by Wagner, and returns the digipad to him. The endings are presented in an alphabetical format, A–E, with B having two variations, and then two 'EX' endings. The last two must be unlocked by achieving the first six. Shadow of Memories consists of eight endings, with six available at first.
