Collector interest

A From Software survival horror set in Heian-era Kyoto, Kuon blends curses, parasitic worms and Japanese folklore into a ritual atmosphere rare on PS2. The PAL release is the hardest of the three regions to secure: a very limited European run, a multilingual En, Fr, De box never reprinted, and a market overshadowed by the now-legendary US NTSC version. Its standing as niche From-signed horror makes the PAL copy a highly sought target.
