Description

Siren is a Japanese survival horror game which takes place in a small town where almost all of their people were killed.

A siren in the small Japanese village of Hanuda suddenly turns its inhabitants into shibito, zombies bent on turning everybody else into shibito.

You alternate gameplay between ten different characters trying to avoid the shibito. It's like a puzzle. You have to learn the shibitos' patterns and learn to avoid getting seen, as all of the characters have very low maximum health. You can also sightjack other characters and shibito to see from their point of view.

Alternate Titles

  • "死魂曲" -- Chinese title (simplified)
