Capcom's latest survival horror game, Haunting Ground, is westbound, due to arrive early next
year. Known as Demento in Japan, Capcom has taken a fresh stab at the genre. The gameplay will feature a nifty gimmick
where the control vibrates in tune with the main character's pulse. So, as she becomes more and more freighted the
vibration picks up and the character is less responsive, easily stumbling and falling. In addition, the colors on the
screen will begin to fade, and only running or hiding will remedy the effects. In order to succeed, you must gain the
trust of an Alsatian dog that will eventually fetch items and even defend you against foes. Capcom has also hired Naoto
Takenaka (Ghost in the Shell films) to direct the cut scenes. From the looks of it, Haunting Ground is shaping up to be
a refreshingly eerie offering in a genre gone stale. Let's hope they can pull it off.
