I've googled and never found any articles or posts relating SoM and FMA. The fact that Shadow of Memories came out in Feb 2001 and FMA came out in July 2001 of the same year, this can't be just coincidence. The whole plot was put in motion by Homunculus to guarantee his release as a paradox (the whole story is absolute bonkers).Īnyway it's quite easy to see a few similarities like the concept of alchemy, a Homunculus coming from a Philosopher's Stone, Hugo trying to find the Stone to resurrect his mom after a failed attempt with alchemy, the German influences but the biggest one is the similarity between Eike Kusch and Edward Elric in terms of design:

But he ended up betraying Homunculus and he was punished with amnesia so Dr Wagner is really Eike Kusch. In the end it turns out Dr Wagner initially released Homunculus from the Stone and made a deal for eternal youth.

This game is a graphical based adventure/mystery game. Equipped with a Digipad, a device which enables time travel, he is sent back to the moment right. He wakes up in a bizarre room and a mysterious voice gives him the chance to change his fate. Hugo built a time machine to take revenge on Eike and to search for the Philosopher's Stone so that Hugo can resurrect his dead mom. A young man, his name is Eike Kusch, walks out of a coffee shop somewhere in Europe and gets stabbed in the back by an unknown person.
