This is however explained by the fact that the Digipads & Homunculu's power to go back in time has limitations an it can only go back to certain points.
Even if it failed, knowing the identity of the killer would have let him resolve the plot in at least half the time.
To top it all off, Eike could have spent one jump to spy on or directly confront the killer.He also uses a long chain of deals involving a faberge egg expy to tell his own past self to get a street sign/frying pan to use as makeshift body armor to avoid getting stabbed, instead of just say, getting the pan himself. Giving an aspiring film-maker a pep-talk so his film poster gathers a crowd to scare away an assassin (instead of not walking out at night). Other hare brained schemes include telling a man in the 1900's to build a library so that Eike can research the cure to Sea Hare poison in the present, and find some even further back in the past (as opposed to not eating the poison).A notable example is going back in time, saving a woman from harassment, meeting said woman's family, and then performing a minor fetch quest all to prevent a tree that the killer will hide behind from ever being planted rather than just not standing near the tree. Complexity Addiction: Eike's schemes to prevent his demise are comically complicated.If you attempt to move away from the spot next to her when the Digipad activates, she simply stops you. But Thou Must!: Sending Dana back in time with you during Chapter 2 is unavoidable.Big Damn Heroes: In Ending B, Eckhart sneaks up on Hugo from behind and wrestles him to the ground, effectively saving Eike and Margarette.Back Stab: Happens to Eike at least three times First in the beginning, then in the second and fourth chapters.And he was able to build one in the sixteenth century!

Awesome by Analysis: Hugo figured out how to make a time machine just by looking at the Digipad for a couple of seconds. He's referred to as male and has a male voice, but you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a girl. Instead of just taking it, he reminds Eike beforehand that he's forgotten to return someone to their own time and lets him do so if he wants. To add on to the politeness, in one of the endings Homunculus only needs to collect the digipad from Eike to wrap up his plan. It's why he can continually be brought back. The doctor sold his soul to Homunculus for eternal youth and became Eike. Of course there's the little detail that he owns Eike's soul. About the evilest things he does involve killing the doctor or Hugo in two different endings, though Wagner betrayed him and Hugo was trying to kill him. He's even friendly and chatty with Eike at points, though his default reaction to finding out Eike has been killed and having to pull his soul out of the time stream hovers somewhere between polite amusement and mild exasperation that Eike's taking a while to figure out how to escape death. Also, his plan isn't as bad as you would think - he just wants to ensure that he isn't Ret-Goned from existence. Affably Evil: Homunculus - he's polite and doesn't really do anything evil ( with the notable exception of kidnapping people and having them sent into different points in time), but he often leaves disconcerting messages to Eike. This game provides examples of the following tropes: Another two endings become available once the first six have been completed. The choices the player makes over the course of the game retroactively decide Eike's true origin and nature, and determine which of the six possible endings will be shown. The plot, however, swiftly becomes very complicated, as details about the reason for Eike's deaths, the possible identities of his killer, and the Homunculus's true motives are brought into play. The game soon falls into a pattern: Eike is killed at the beginning of a level, revived, and then must travel into the past in order to prevent his death from occurring. If Eike wants to live, he'll have to find the real reason someone's out for his blood, which may be rooted deeper in history than he can imagine. However, the killer isn't going to be put off by being thwarted just once. Pretty short game? Well, not really - Eike is promptly revived by a being called Homunculus, who offers him the chance to change his fate. The main character of the game is Eike Kusch, a young man who is murdered during the game's first cutscene.
