Forbidden Siren is a survival horror game and the first installment in the Siren series, set in the isolated, demon-plagued Japanese village of Hanyuda.
Plot and Setting
- Setting: The game takes place in the peaceful Japanese village of Hanyuda, which is suddenly invaded by a dark day.
- The Threat: The villagers have been turned into scary, bloodthirsty demons known as Shibito, who hunt the remaining survivors.
- Objective: Players are immersed in the roles of multiple surviving characters. Their task is to try to survive and help others if possible.
Gameplay and Mechanics
- Survival: The core gameplay emphasizes caution, requiring players to hide and observe strangers, as anyone they meet might be a hostile Shibito.
- Interaction: If a person is normal, players can “catch stories” and offer help.
- Playing as the Enemy: The game features a unique element where players will occasionally play the roles of the Shibito, experiencing the feeling of being the evil demons.
- Items and Progression:
- Players can pick up different types of items.
- Some items are used as weapons.
- Other items open up new stories (likely referring to the game’s non-linear, fragmented narrative structure).
- “Sight-Jacking” (Implied Core Mechanic): [Self-Correction/Detail from general knowledge: The game’s defining mechanic, “Sight-Jacking,” is necessary to fulfill the “observe when you see strangers” directive. It allows the player to see through the eyes of the Shibito to monitor their movements and find safe routes, linking directly to the survival and stealth elements mentioned.]
