Siren
Siren, or Forbidden Siren depending on which region you’re in, was developed by Project Siren and directed by Keiichiro Toyama, who created the Silent Hill series.
The setting in this series is vastly different than that of Silent Hill’s, but both series have similar vibes in that they rely on subtlety and ambience to create fear and horror.
The primary ‘gimmick’ here is that players can make use of a psychic power to see what the undead enemies can see and hear in their surroundings, then use that information to secure a way out of the level. The game generally encourages you to avoid conflict instead of fighting the enemies head on.
Siren’s plot revolves around a cult’s attempt to awaken a god through a forbidden ceremony. Sound familiar yet?
