Haunting Ground

Good

This is the heartwarming tale of a girl and her dog … held prisoner in a castle alone, unarmed, and running for their lives. Scared yet? You will be. Read Review

This spine-chilling survival horror game is set in a mysterious castle that has become a prison for two innocent characters -- an orphaned young girl named Fiona and a white shepherd dog. Though Fiona is a physically weak character, she must use her wit and cunning to unravel the castle's puzzles and figure out what is happening and why. Together with the dog named Hewie, she must utilize each other's strengths if they hope to escape from their horrifying surroundings and the deranged man stalking them named Debilitas. Haunting Ground was released in Japan under the title Demento.
