JU-ON: The Grudge is an action game based on the themes of a film series of Japanese horrors, produced by the feelplus studio. The player directs the actions of a young girl - Erika Yamada, who unattentionally exposes her family to the action of the title curse. Due to the dark climate and terrifying scenes, the title is addressed to older audiences.
Based on the classic Japanese horror movie, JU-ON: The Grudge is a ‘haunted house simulator’ - or 'fright sim'!
Takashi Shimizu, creator of the original movie, is heavily involved in the development of the game.
Using the Wii Remote as a flashlight, JU-ON: The Grudge has players move forward with the touch of a button and explore haunted areas such as an abandoned warehouse, a dimly lit hospital and a mannequin factory.
Features
With a story revolving around the unfortunate Yamada family, JU-ON: The Grudge features a new unique gameplay mechanic that measures your movements during play: the more you flinch and jump, the worse your score.
The player can progress through the game with bad scores, but it is those with a steady hand and nerves of steel who will win the day.
