Horror movie series known as "Ju-On" in Japan is set to frighten Wii owners.
AQ Interactive has announced that it is creating Kyoufu Taikan Ju-On (Feel Fear: Ju-On) for Wii. The Ju-On movies are known to Western audiences as "The Grudge". Takashi Shimizu, creator of the original Ju-On films, has been retained as an adviser and director for the game, which will explore the origins of the "curse" in the films.
Kyoufu Taikan Ju-On will be played from a first-person perspective, with the player walking through eerie buildings armed with only a flashlight (holding the Wii Remote as they would a real flashlight). The game is intended to be very easily controlled, with a focus on instilling fear in the player. Famitsu has posted screenshots of what is sure to be a creepy title.
Ju-On is scheduled for a Summer 2009 release in Japan. A stateside release has not been confirmed.
