A Cursed Game For The Nintendo DS

by Matthias Weber (PSFK Hamburg)

Wired writes:

Nanashi introduces the idea of a cursed game, a la The Ring, that not only affects the in-game characters, but the player as well. You’ll also get to experience the game within the game (in the form of a retro RPG), and get haunted messages via an interface that looks just like the Nintendo DS’ front end.

The game is scheduled for its release in Japan this summer; no details on possible versions for other markets yet.
