A look at Chunsoft and Imabikisou for the PS3 |
Ó
Chunsoft's a company known for its work on the sound novel genre, which it pioneered with Otogirisou back on the Super Famicom. They were followed up by games like Machi and Kamaitachi no Yoru. Yes, you've probably never heard of these games, but they do command a following in their home country, and each sound novel sold over 200,000 units.
The latest "sound novel" from Chunsoft is Imabikisou and it is set to grace the Sony PlayStation 3. What's been revealed about the sound novel's storyline so far is that it revolves around a drug called "Vision". The said drug is apparently responsible for a series of mysterious deaths, and you, as the game's main character, have to flee the curse of the drug, confront the drug at its source (a strange flower in a spooky mansion) and solve the mystery.
The "game" has several big horror names behind it. Included in the staff are folks like Yukinori Kitajima, Osamu Makino, and Hajime Katou, all big horror folks in Japan. This latest incarnation of the sound novel is set to take advantage of the PS3's graphical capabilities by incorporating real-life footage, creepy sounds, and CG effects.
Hopefully, playing, er reading, er watching through this novel won't be as creepy as watching a VHS tape that has a ring in it. Imabikisou is set to be released this fall.
