- being developed by one of Kuju Entertainment's teams
- originally intended to be published by Konami for the Xbox 360/PS3
- game features a dark sense of humor
- takes place on a cruise ship
- play as an invisible evil spirit that haunts and terrorizes passengers on the ship
- use the Wii U controller to pick up random objects, grab people's body parts, draw on the walls with blood, turn on and off lights in rooms, mess with passengers tv's, radio's, and laptops, and mess with their food when they aren't looking
- walk into a woman's room while she is sleeping and move her bed into a kitchen
- cover a kid's bed in spiders
- you're rewarded for how much you traumatize the ship passengers
- Each passenger has an individualized personality and characteristics
- online mode
- Kuji made a new demo of the game with Wii U controller ideas to show to Nintendo

Also Eminem is promoting it.

It sounds really cool. I'm interested I liked what Kuju did with Battalion Wars 1 and 2 and I would like to see this game.

That actually sounds like it has the potential to be a lot of fun, but odd. If it gets released, I doubt it will get a release outside of Japan. It just sounds too niche.

Why would a western developer make a Japan Only game? I think if they do make the game it would be released in the West.

Kuju Entertainment is located in the United Kingdom.

I just read the game description. I didn't really look at who was making it, thanks for the correction. I'll keep an eye on it, who knows, it may turn out real well.

Your next round Acid Ghost details, plus concept art!

This concept art is going to make or break this rumor. I know someone is going to scour every corner of the net to find where this art originated, if it's part of someone's portfolio out there. As we wait for that to happen, let's hit up the next round of rumored info.




- features a level-up system and skill tree system
- the more powerful you become, the more powers you gain
- stay away from mirrors, glass, and certain light sources that reveal your image
- meter that shows how visible your spirit is to the human eye, depending on the type of light you are standing in
- if a human sees you, you must restart
- you can 'design' nightmares on the Wii U controller, tailored to each person's fears
- this includes choosing locations, scenarios, and other things
- Nightmares don't have to take place on the cruise ship.
- You can create "accidents" for chefs in the cruise ship's kitchen by playing with knives, blenders, or shoving people into ovens.
- Ability to set objects and people on fire.
- Design hallucinations and put them in people's heads.
- Design monsters and creatures to place into people's nightmares and hallucinations.
- You can cause trouble on the cruise ship that will get passengers divorced, fired by their boss, force them into a situation of adultery, or pin/frame them for a crime they didn't commit.
- You can choose to do good deeds, such as stopping a burglary or save a kid from drowning
- 7 different endings depending on how you choose to play the game

I like the concept of the game, sounds a lot like Geist/Ghost Trick. However, scaring people just for the sake of scaring people wouldn't stay interesting for long. I would hope there's a lot more to it than that. And as with all other rumors, I'll believe it when I see it.

That's the first thing that came to my mind when reading the description. I really can't see this game being that interesting for that long. At least with Geist it had a nice change of pace between the ghost sections with the shooting sections.

no, you have to mine their psyche until they beg for death, for their insanity has twisted their vision of the world beyond what a human would tolerate. scaring is too easy :D

But scaring can lead to a heart attack or panicked dashes that lead to a comical death i.e. slipping on a banana peel and landing in a deep fryer lol.

Being on GameSpot for over 6 years, this is honestly the weirdest rumour I've ever seen.

but that's a short term entertainment that wears out quickly. driving someone to the brink of reason is much better :D

[QUOTE="GameboyTroy"] - use the Wii U controller to grab people's body partsBrunoBRS
i'm SO seeing where this is going.

No matter what types of gameplay variety this game will offer it would probably turn into a groping simulator for most people, myself included xD.

I don't know about that, face plants into some kind of death trap can be funny for a good amount of time lol.

I love the idea but I bet it will be toned down just like Manhunt 2 on the Wii was. Apparently you're allowed to kill in video games but you're not allowed to murder. Figure that one out.

Hmm... that's actually a pretty cool idea. It'd be nice to play as the bad guy and simply scare people for a change. Reminds me of an older game called 'Downtown' or something. And it'd be a hundred times cooler if it ends with Dean and Sam Winchester killing the character in the end, because it does sound like a Supernatural episode name :lol:
