Kuon

The game KUON for the PS2 is scaring the living shit out of me. I’ve been playing all night, and, well, I just had to stop because I was getting way too stressed. It’s a survival-horror game, a genre I’m not that fond of, but set in the Heian period, and that was the hook for me. Everything is just so damn creepy, including the music. I had to play with headphones on because it was freaking out Yuko (just the opening theme song was giving her goose bumps). I’m not usually skittish when it comes to horror — I enjoy it, but it doesn’t usually scare me — but this game, it’s getting to me…
