Kuon

The Bottom Line

An action title with a ghost story theme, Kuon allows the player to assume the roles of several different characters in an effort to explore a multitude of plot threads. The game's story is set in the Heian period. Strange things are happening in an old mansion -- eerie singing voices and moving shadows. You play as three characters, Uduki, Sakuya and Seimei Abeno, each with their own special chapter, respectively the Shadow Chapter, the Sun Chapter and the Kuon Chapter. A key focus of the gameplay is the use of martial arts, which the protagonists have to use to defeat the evil water spirit that inhabits the mansion. You'll find beasts aplenty as well as numerous traps and puzzles, giving the game a Resident Evil-feel.
