Shadow Hearts: From The New World is a console role-playing game developed by Nautilus and published by XSEED Games in 2005. Though more like a gaiden game than anything else, it is the third official game in the Shadow Hearts series. The game series departs from Eurasia and takes place in the Americas. While it is not directly related to the previous games in the series, it occurs in the same world, with old characters making cameos. The main characters' quest is to investigate mysterious "windows" from which vicious monsters emerge.
