SAN MATEO, Calif.’Hudson Entertainment will bring players face to face with death as they roam an alternate existence in an attempt to survive Calling. The adventure horror title is set to be published by Hudson Entertainment, the North and South American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT, and will be exclusive to Wii in 2010.
“Players will be asked to use their wits and senses to survive the world of Calling,” said Mike Pepe, Director of Marketing of Hudson Entertainment. “It is a game that revolves around real people and real emotions ”“ no chain saws or suits of armor. The game is traditional survival horror at its finest.”
In Calling, players begin by visiting a mysterious “Black Page” website with a simple number counter. Some say it is a bridge to something sinister; the counter indicating the number of people who have died after visiting the page. It is said that people who have visited the site and witness a certain event are drawn into a mysterious space compiled of the memories of the dead – the space between life and death. Someone or something is drawing the living there for a reason, and it is up to the player to discover the horrifying truth. In order to do so, players will use various equipment including flash lights, phones, and other items to navigate and escape the Calling.
Throughout the game players will visit various parts of the Calling world. Memories of houses, schools, hospitals and more bring players closer to either an escape or an untimely death. Players will solve puzzles, search and interact with objects, and ultimately try to avoid the inhabitance of this alternative existence.
Will it use the Wii Vitality Sensor??
Sounds interesting, although I'm not sure I trust Hudson to make a quality, "serious" game. Have they made anything remotely like this in the past?
Sounds interesting – haven't indulged in the genre since Eternal Darkness, could well pick this up if it's done properly.
Two Words "Vitality sensor"
Sounds just like another hope for the Wii gamers that will turn out a 6.5/10 game.
Intriguing. Need to see more of the actual game before I can say anything about it really, but I do think that this game might in some way utilize the vitality sensor.
So the Wii has been declared the official home of the survival/horror genre. We've been getting something from every series, exclusives and in some cases like RE4, the best version of the game. I'm loving this. I hope they don't disappoint me, it's a bit difficult to do that. I even enjoyed Obscure to a point.
