It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten any news about the new survival horror game, “Cursed Mountain”. If you remember from previous posts, this is the game that places you in the feet of Eric Simmons as he goes on a journey searching for his lost brother in the Himalayas. Along the way he discovers that the mountain is cursed with the souls of travelers and others who were claimed by the mountain. Of course, this is not reassuring in the least to Eric that his brother is still in the land of the living. Being developed strictly for the Wii, Deep Silver has been able to utilize the game and its controls in unique ways. One of the most intriguing elements is that the motion controls for combat will be based on real world Buddhist Mantras, which is sure to bring the player deeper into the realm of Cursed Mountain. The developers are also shying away from gore and pure violence and hoping that the psychological aspect of being alone and terrified on The Mountain will provide the fright factor that people will be looking for. With unique gameplay, a character and story-arc that you are sure to connect with, and being set on a mountain that is, you know, cursed, it’s starting to look like Deep Silver have a winner on their hands. For those aching for a closer look at the game, and some insights from the developers, you’ll find a nice Developer Diary posted below. Cursed Mountain is set to release strictly for the Wii on August 25, which means it should get the jump on the game that looks to be its main competition, Silent Hill:Shattered Memories.
