Avid North American readers won't get their hands on the
English translation of Miyuke Miyabe's
Ico: Castle in the Mist, a follow-up novel to
Ico, the beloved PS2 classic (and
soon to be PS3 remaster), until August 16. However, thanks to the Japanese book printer Haikasoru, you can now get
a taste of the story online.
The short excerpt gives an excellent sense of the novel's atmosphere, which is to say,
Ico's atmosphere. We expect that you already have an inkling of what the setting is going to feel like, considering you should have already played
Ico. Heck, even if you haven't, the book's title tells you everything you need to know: There is a
castle. It is adjacent to
mist.
