FeelPlus' (Co-developers of Lost Odyssey) "The Grudge" is not a survival horror game:
"JU-ON's definitely a different kind of game, as it's not survival horror, and it's not action-oriented -- there's no combat, no running from hordes of zombies or anything like that. It really is, though, a haunted house simulator -- an interactive, slow-paced exploration of a psychologically straining set of environments that will, guaranteed, cause you to have nightmares for weeks."
Right now, I have no idea how to feel* about this. It's almost - dare I say it - a "casual" approach, isn't it? It would fit Rising Star Games UK ad for the game:
I would have liked for it to be in the same vein as Fatal Frame, but I loves me some exploration of new genre possibilities, especially if it's done intelligently. Please, do experiment with the interactive storytelling, FeelPlus, you have my fullest support. It's infinitely better than the thousandst guns&explosions game - but I hope you leave your "boo!" scares at home.
* Get it? Hilarious, I know.
