NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
NCS didn't think the original Siren game needed an
encore but Sony disagrees. They've revamped the game
for the Playstation 3 with highly polished visuals,
Dual Shock 3 support, and the same scary storyline
that shook PS2 gamers when Siren first shipped in
2003. Players take a trip to a forlorn village named
Hanuda which has been afflicted by red water that
turns the living into grotesque and murderous
creatures known as "Shibito." Although Siren may be
classified as a survival game in a horror setting,
the burden of survival doesn't rest on a single
protagonist. A whole cast of characters serve to
move the narrative along and engage the Shibito in
loathsome activities.
Siren is relatively import friendly - the voice
acting is in English and the archives from the film
crew are also marked with English text. Note however
that the subtitles are in Japanese.
NCS Original Synopsis from 2003
«©NCSX»
A curious high school student with a penchant for
the supernatural hears about a village named Hanuda
where mystical happenings occur. Since he's
interested in the occult, its only natural for him
to head over there and experience Hanuda for
himself. When he arrives at the village, he hears
strange sounds and watches as dark figures perform.
Before he can head for the hills, a siren rings in
his head which jackhammers pain throughout his frame
and the adventure begins...
A Siren has invaded the village of Hanuda and
poisoned the water. Denizens who haplessly quaff the
water change into shibito or undead. The Shibito are
a step above the shuffling zombies of games past;
they retain their human memories and skills which
make them particularly lethal especially when they
wield weapons and attack with skill. Adding to their
repertoire, the shibito won't die and rise again
after being put down.
The player will eventually be able to control 10
characters in Hanuda and switch between them in a
concerted effort to stop the power of the Siren and
restore the village. The poisoned water is a curse
but it also gifts drinkers with the ability to look
through the eyes of shibito in the vicinity with a
power called Sightjack. Viewing the action from a
different vantage point helps to assess situations
and avoid possible death.
NCS Short Synopsis from 2003
Sony tries another round in the horror-adventure
genre with Siren, where the action is viewed from
behind the different characters as they explore
darkly lit environments and roams inside spooky
rooms. A flashlight helps illuminate small portions
of a room but not enough to show everything inside.
Lurking horrors may be hiding such as switchblade
wielding miscreants with blood dripping eyes and
bumbling shibito who attack from the shadows at a
moment's notice... During travels, other characters
may be encountered and cut scenes intersperse
through the action to relay the story. Ghastly
sights in the game include shuffling zombies who
roam the countryside, bloodied victims and detached
heads. The lack of an overhead map adds to the
feeling of dread and trepidation in the game.
