Description
Horror game developed by Sproing Interactive and published by Deep Silver in Europe in September 2009. Mountaineer Eric Simmons climbs a sacred Himalayan mountain searching for his missing brother and confronts ghosts from Tibetan Buddhism. Wiimote controls mimicking climbing gestures, oppressive snow-covered atmosphere, spiritual rituals to ward off spirits and progressive exploration. Unique atmospheric horror game in the Wii catalogue.
A survival horror from Sproing and Deep Silver, Cursed Mountain plunges a climber into the Himalayas in search of his brother, against a backdrop of Tibetan Buddhism and vengeful ghosts. The misty atmosphere, the spiritual iconography and the ice axe combat using motion detection create a real sense of displacement. The slow pace and slightly stiff handling hamper immersion. An atmospheric curiosity for fans of original horror and players after unusually themed experiences on Wii.
