''Shadow Hearts: From the New World'' is the third game in ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' series of {{Eastern RPG}}s. The game was released in 2005 for UsefulNotes/Playstation2. ''From the New World'' has no direct connection to previous games in the series, but there are plenty of {{Call Back}}s and other references to past events.
The game is set in 1927, and moves the setting to the Americas. Here, a young man called Johnny Garland, whose parents died in an accident several years ago, runs a detective agency in hopes to restore his own [[AmnesiacHero missing memories]]. One day, during an investigation, he accidentally finds a "Window" - a portal opened by Malice, which lets demons into this world. He's saved by a MagicalNativeAmerican woman called Shania, who has the ability to fuse with souls of monsters. Shania is searching for "Lady", a strange woman, who wiped out her entire tribe, and Johnny [[JumpedAtTheCall decides to join her]].
