We noticed two things while watching the new trailer for Spike's horror adventure game
Twilight Syndrome: Kinjiraneta Toshi Densetsu (
Twilight Syndrome: The Forbidden Urban Legend) (which you can access by going to the site and clicking the button indicated above):
- It looks exactly like a creepy version of Gyakuten Kenji, with a schoolgirls in place of Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe
- Zoinks! Like, we gotta get outta here, Scoob!
Seriously, we were expecting hilarity out of this trailer and, while some of the artwork looked goofy, and the actual
gameplay bits looked not-scary-at-all, we got pretty freaked out. Not "get up and hide" level, or "stop blogging" level, but there was at least
one heebie-jeebie involved. We know that the urgent music is designed specifically to try to get a panic response out of us.
The
horror genre is
taking off on the DS in Japan, but the U.S. has
Dementium and pretty much nothing else. Who's going to be the first to localize?
Twilight Syndrome would be a good choice, as part of an existing horror series, for which a movie has just been
announced.
