Japanese developer Nippon Ichi Software has started teasing their next game, and it sure looks spooky. Its first teaser doesn’t reveal much, probably because it’s too busy creeping and crawling its way under your skin in a Blair Witch meets Slender sort of way. I’m no familiar enough with the studio to be able to guess what it might be, but rumor has it this may be our first look at a horror game for the PS Vita titled Yomawari, or “Nightwatch”.
Whatever this is, it’s almost definitely a horror game inspired by Japanese folklore, and there’s plenty room for that. I’m sure that Wii-exclusive Ju-On game could use the company.
Did you hear that scratching noise behind you? That means you’re either about to die an agonizing death, or it’s time for an irrelevant fact. I can’t tell if you’re alive, so I’m going to tell you, or your corpse, about how “Night Watch” is also the name of the first in a series of novels penned by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. Someone needs to start adapting that.
