Forbidden Siren
Another survival horror by the creator of "Silent Hill" - Keiichiro Toyama. In this 78-stage game, dozens of characters try to save their lives and escape from a cursed seaside village.
developer: Sony Interactive Entertainment publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Hanyuda, once a peaceful rural village in Japan, has suddenly become a hive for evil, an inescapable nightmare surrounded by a sea of blood. All but ten of its inhabitants have met with a gruesome fate, and now it's up to the survivors to unravel the mystery behind the transformation of the small town before they join the rest of the population.
But the rest of the population aren't quite dead yet.
Friends and neighbours have now become disgusting, stomach-churning creatures known as Shibito - and each and every one of them is intent on leading the remaining living to a horrifying death.
Taking place over a three day period, Forbidden Siren's 78-episode narrative not only switches between each character, but also goes forwards and backwards through time to help you understand exactly how everything falls into place. For example, you may see characters alive after you know they've already died, or vice versa. With gameplay as innovative as its storyline, the lure of Forbidden Siren is impossible to resist.
# Unique 'sightjacking' lets you see through the eyes of the horrific Shibito
# Play as ten different survivors, all modelled on real actors
# Non-linear storyline allows you to see the same events from different viewpoints
# Terrifying atmosphere recalls Asian horror movies like Ring and The Eye
