Developed by Tokyo’s Game Republic under
legendary game creator Yoshiki Okamoto, executive
producer for Onimusha, Devil May Cry and Resident
Evil, Folklore is a unique, dark fantasy adventure
inspired by western fairy tales and built to
showcase the power of PS3. Set in the mysterious
town of Lemrick, two strangers, Keats and Ellen, are
drawn together to uncover a mysterious legend in a
remote village that exists on the border between
dreams and reality. They soon learn that the town
serves as a gateway to fantastic realms, full of
creatures, spirits and monsters. In order to solve
the mystery of the town, and their past, the pair
must journey through these worlds to uncover its
secrets.
Despite being a realist,
Keats unhappily finds himself a journalist for a
third rate occult magazine. One day Keats receives a
phone call from a woman asking for his help. Through
the static Keats hears the word “Lemrick”. Sensing
something wrong, Keats rushes to the village, but
the woman he believes to have called him, is found
murdered. He stays on to find out more about this
murder. Strange events follow that night, and he
travels to the “Netherworld”.
Having lost her mother as a
young child, Ellen is prone to dreaming and tends to
look away from reality. Strangely, she spends her
holidays actively searching England’s countryside
for folk stories. She is not so good with people but
seems to have a rapport with children and the
elderly. One day Ellen receives a letter from the
mother she lost as a child, the message proposing a
meeting in Lemrick. She finds herself in the village
at the same time as Keats. Here they wander between
“reality” and the 7 Netherworlds, in search of the
end to their stories.
Game Features
- Journey to seven incredibly vibrant realms,
all uniquely designed and tailored to fit their
distinct personalities. From the ruins of the
Undersea City to the never-ending maze of the
Endless Corridor, each destination is different
from the next.
- Inspired by western fairy tales, players
interact with or clash against a cast of over 100
originally designed creatures, characters and
monsters.
- Using the SIXAXIS™ wireless controller, the
player must battle monsters and literally “shake”
them into submission and “yank” their powers from
them. The absorbed powers will be used to capture
or defeat the monsters that lie ahead.
- Begin the game as either Keats or Ellen and
learn their story and gameplay style. Keats uses
traditional direct attacks while Ellen uses
strategic methods to trap her enemies. Decisions
made in one story line will directly impact the
story path of the other.

After receiving a letter from her supposedly dead
mother, Ellen Reid sails to Lemrick
on a slow boat atop stormy seas. The letter reads,
"My beloved daughter, forgive me for being absent
from your life for 7 years."
The back of the envelope is signed "Your Mother" on
the flap and a red wax closure is stamped on the
back to seal it. Ellen opened the envelope with a
letter opener so the seal is unbroken.
While standing aboard the boat, Ellen blinks her
eyes and seems pensive as she awaits her reunion
with mama.
» Lemrick serves as a nexus to seven worlds
including Elf World, War World, Underwater City,
Infinity Hallway, and Hell.
Introduction
Voice Over (Ellen Reid)
I Lost My Mother When I was very young
My only memory of her is telling bedtime fairy tales
about a mysterious village
The village of Lemrick, where the living could meet
the dead.
And now she tells me she's alive
Mother, why did you wait so long?
Book
Text from Ellen Reid's childhood
The lighthouse at Lemrick lies far across the sea
It is a place not of this world, nor the next
A place twixt our plane of existence and the
Netherworld
When its light shines,
One hears the whispers of creatures from beyond
And the door to the realm of the dead is flung open
