Don’t Turn Out The Lights! “Siren” Unleashes a New Horror
For PlayStation 2
“What makes this game so exciting, and scary, and different is that you really DO experience what it is like to be scared. Heart-pounding scared. Hold-your-breath scared. Keep-the-lights-on-and-don't-play-alone scared.”

Description
Siren puts the player into an alternate reality, capable of raising the heart-beat and creating a true sense of suspense and fear allowing for a new horror entertainment experience. In the blink of an eye, everything can change in Siren. Set in a fictional Japanese village, a terrible force slowly turns the civilians into vile creatures. Seen through the eyes of ten characters, Siren immerses the player into a personal fight for survival and to unravel the truth behind the mysterious force.
With a story loosely inspired by Japanese folklore and horror movies from around the world, Siren places the gamer right in the center of the village of Hanuda. Building upon a dark atmosphere and creeping terror, Siren heralds an exciting new genre of horror games – from a world of fear, mystery and suspense that is focused on extreme background detail and storyline, rather than ‘slasher-style’ shocks traditionally found in horror entertainment.
