Mamoru and Yuri flee and then encounter Yorito and Takeaki. However, Yuri is afraid of the soldiers, and seems unable to bear the light from their torches.
As the group talk, a huge red tsunami suddenly appears nearby and an earthquake rocks the island as a siren rings out. Meanwhile, Shu awakens near his old house, which, to his amazement, hasn't changed.
He enters the house to see his four-year-old self holding the body of his dead father. At that moment, Tsuneo arrives at the house with the intention of killing Kanae, but Ryuhei resurrects as a shibito and chases Tsuneo.
Elsewhere, Shigeru soon encounters Ichiko, and they too meet Tsuneo. Shigeru is dumbfounded that Tsuneo is still on the island after so many years.
However, before their eyes, Tsuneo transforms into a shibito and attacks them. He corners them in an ammo depot, but as he moves in to kill Ichiko, she smiles at him, causing him to panic and flee.
Meanwhile, Tomoe is being chased by a group of shibito, and falls down a ravine, impaling herself on an antenna and dying. After surviving the tsunami, Takeaki and Yorito board the Bright Win.
Takeaki, however, begins to act strangely, having taken some hallucinogenic medication, and Yorito splits up from him. Elsewhere, following the earthquake, Soji has been split up from Akiko, but he soon encounters Shu, and they head to an abandoned amusement park, where Shu believes he can rediscover his lost memories.
At the same time, Yuri leads Mamoru to the same park where she manipulates him in the same manner Kanae had attempted to manipulate the young Shu.
Yuri proves successful, and Mamoru opens the seven gates to the Underworld. They head down into the depths, and Yuri reveals her true form, Mother.
Mamoru falls victim to Mother's hypnotic power, but as he walks towards her, Ikuko arrives, and uses her psychic power to bring him back to his senses.
Unable to resist her call, Shu gives himself over to her and is enveloped. Elsewhere on the island, Mother's siren sounds, signifying her release, and prompting Ichiko to attack and kill Shigeru.
Back in the Underworld, Mother, now free from her prison, gives birth to hundreds of yamirei - albino slug-like creatures. As they are about to be killed, a group of shiryos the spirits that animate the dead and turn them into shibito pour down into the abyss and begin to fight with the yamirei.
Ikuko and Mamoru use the opportunity to escape. Back in the park, Ikuko successfully destroys the seven gates, preventing the Underworld from spewing forth any more yamirei.
Those that have already gotten out take the form of yamibito and set about converting the island's shibito into yamibito.
As Mamoru and Ikuko escape through the amusement park they are surrounded by yamirei. However, dawn breaks, and the light sensitive yamirei are destroyed.
Ikuko then tells Mamoru that they are both on their own from this point, and she leaves. Upon coming back to her senses, Ichiko is horrified to see the dead Shigeru at her feet.
She has a flashback of falling overboard the Bright Win and sinking to the bottom of the ocean. However, it is then revealed she was resurrected and possessed by Otoshigo.
Meanwhile, Shigeru is resurrected as a yamibito. Takeaki encounters Ichiko, but instinctively knows something is wrong.
As he demands answers, Yorito appears, and fearing for Ichiko's life, shoots Takeaki in the back. Yorito leaves with Ichiko but they are set upon by a dog-like yamibito.
Ichiko flees, and when Yorito finds her she has again become possessed by Otoshigo and embarks on a mindless killing spree, laying waste to any yamibito she encounters.
Yorito finds Ichiko's bracelet, given to her by Noriko in , and uses it to bring her back to her senses. Meanwhile, Mamoru boards the Bright Win in an attempt to destroy as many yamibito as he can, knowing it was his fault they were released.
He soon discovers that Tomoe has transformed into a dog yamibito and now roams the ship. Having fled the Underworld, Akiko notices the appearance of a massive pylon reaching into the sky.
She follows a psychic trail that leads her to the place where Shu and Kanae fell into the sea in Shu leads Akiko to a sacred tree branch which is traditionally used on the island to keep evil spirits away from the bodies of the dead.
Akiko also finds a mysterious artifact, the Anunnaki Remains. Eventually, Akiko destroys Ryuhei, stabbing him with the branch and freeing his soul.
His body then transforms into the Mekkoju tree. Akiko then receives another psychic vision — the murder of Ryuhei. In the vision, Kanae flees covered in Ryuhei's blood, but as she passes a mirror she looks into it and sees the face of Akiko.
Ikuko soon discovers the Anunnaki Remains lodged into the Mekkoju tree, which is now itself entwined in the tower. With it, she destroys Shigeru, who has also turned into a kou-yamibito, freeing his soul.
Meanwhile, on the Bright Win, Mamoru and Yorito join forces and set out to scale the tower. Mamoru has come to believe that the reality in which they now reside is a fake, a copy of the real world where time has folded back on itself.
He believes that the purpose of the pylon is to reach the point where the artificial world intersects with the real world, and it is here where Mother will pass from the fake reality into the real one.
He and Yorito ascend the tower and obtain a Mekkoju branch for Tsuneo, now also a kou-yamibito. Tsuneo knocks Yorito off the tower, but Mamoru manages to destroy Tsuneo, also freeing his soul.
Having apparently survived his fall, Yorito loses his composure and vows to destroy every yamirei and yamibito once and for all.
He discovers the yamirei are using an old school as a lair and he destroys it with a flare gun. He also kills and frees the soul of Okita, before being confronted by Takeaki, who has also transformed into a kou-yamibito.
Yorito is able to defeat Takeaki, but immediately upon doing so, Ichiko appears, her face swollen into a single eye.
She then transforms into Otoshigo and attacks Yorito. However, he is eventually able to destroy the creature, celebrating, as he believes the nightmare is now over.
Meanwhile, back on the tower, Ikuko and Mamoru are reunited. Ikuko is able to stab Tomoe with the Mekkoju branch, finally freeing her soul.
You're left wondering why this is happening, and possibly annoyed at having to repeat yourself, but the confidence of greater familiarity of your surroundings and the controls often allows you a much easier ride to explore further and complete what you didn't the first time around.
In fact, you'll wonder why you had such a hard time initially, and the game becomes a great deal more satisfying as a result of the enforced practice.
Then again, it still doesn't explain why the designers felt the need to include a map that doesn't indicate your position on it, causing you no end of problems when you first dip into any given environment.
In a game that persistently tests you to the extreme, it's easy to perhaps assume that we weren't enjoying it. It's true that it can be one hell of a frustrating experience while you're getting to grips with it, but once you acclimatise it's a game that does the job of scaring the crap out of you exceptionally well.
Playing with the lights off, at home alone is definitely recommended for those of a masochistic bent. Part of its charm is definitely the stylish presentation that understandably borrows the grainy, foggy, oppressively weird approach of the Silent Hill series.
It bears plenty of Konami's hallmarks, but rather than just give you one big environment it chops the experience up into bite-sized chunks, meaning things rarely become remotely dull.
In fact, it's this tightly focused approach of challenging you with set piece after set piece that keeps things interesting at all times.
Most survival horror games can end up a frustrating slog as you work out what to do with your increasing inventory and proliferation of locked doors.
Siren cures this problem by making each problem self-contained and therefore much more like a scene in a movie that you have to solve. Unfortunately, the effect of the stylishly gritty visuals and the incredible attention to facial detail is undermined by some truly harrowingly bad voice acting.
It seems as if Sony went to its local am-dram society and recorded the rehearsals. While the Capcom titles get away with the Japanese B-Movie hamminess, these voiceovers are quite obviously English, and not only seem totally at odds with the Japanese cast they're representing, but all hope of conveying terror and suspense is lost there and then.
What a disgrace! How this got through Sony's QA system beggars belief. Oh, actually it doesn't. The rest of the audio, however, matches the quality elsewhere with brooding sound effects that effortlessly conjure a gruesome backdrop to the proceedings, and genuinely help to strike terror into your heart.
If only the subtlety extended elsewhere - but you could apply that sentence to much of this deeply flawed masterpiece.
As a whole, Forbidden Siren manages to display enough genuine quality and innovation to overcome its frustrating shortcomings elsewhere. For newcomers to the scene, getting into the designer's desired mindset will arguably prove too daunting, but veteran adventurers will admire the new ground that Siren breaks and its chilling atmosphere, and be able to forgive some of its basic flaws long enough to follow through with what is, at times, an immensely challenging and absorbing experience.

Blizzard clamps down on World of Warcraft multi-boxing. Player characters can also shout at any time in order to get the attention of nearby Shibito.
Within most stages, the player character can hide in certain places such as cupboards and lock doors to prevent Shibito from entering.
When a Shibito hears a sound made by the player character, it will search in the direction from which they heard the sound.
If a character is seen by a Shibito, the latter will pursue the character to kill them either with a melee or ranged weapon or by strangulation.
The Shibito will also shout to alert other nearby Shibito. Once the character has remained out of the Shibito's sight for a period of time, the Shibito will give up and resume its usual habits.
Weapons are available for the player throughout the game, ranging from melee weapons to firearms. While Shibito can be knocked out in combat, they cannot be killed and will reanimate after a short period of time.
If a character is injured, they will eventually recover after a short period of time. Characters will also lose stamina during combat and while running, which will also naturally refill after a short amount of time.
These events are presented outside of chronological order and deal primarily with the efforts of the viewpoint characters to both escape the town and find answers to what has happened in the three days immediately following the disaster.
Initially presented as being merely an earthquake the disaster is rapidly shown to be far more bizarre and wide ranging.
The majority of the population has become infected with an unknown affliction that appears to severely damage cognitive function, causing them to bleed from the eyes, become violently hostile on sight towards anyone not also infected and seemingly immortal, able to recover and heal from even the most grievous of injuries in a short time.
All natural water sources and rainfall in the town have been replaced with a strange liquid referred to as "Red water" and the town, previously located in a mountainous region deep inland, has become an island surrounded on all sides by an ocean of the red water with no other land in sight.
Furthermore, multiple sections of the town appear to have been replaced with past versions of themselves with buildings destroyed by landslides 27 years prior, although derelict as if abandoned for decades, suddenly reappearing or replacing their more modern counterparts.
It is revealed over the course of the game that Hanuda, which is a strongly isolationist community due to historical religious persecution, follows a unique syncretic faith known as the "Mana Religion" that incorporates many Christian and Shinto traditions.
The senior figures of this faith, in particular the nun Hisako Yao, had attempted to call forth and appease their god through ritual human sacrifice of a girl named Miyako Kajiro who they considered holy for her psychic abilities.
When Kyoya Suda, an outsider to the town who had arrived to investigate online ghost stories, accidentally stumbles on the ceremony Miyako, unwilling to be killed, uses the momentary distraction he provides to flee the scene and causes the ritual to fail.
It is this failure that creates the disaster, pulling the entire town into another world where space and time are severely distorted.
The shibito then go about building a nest to house the god's corporeal form once it is summoned, as well as killing and converting any remaining humans left in Hanuda.
Despite Kyoya being able to slay the alien god at the end of the three days the story concludes with only one of the ten viewpoint characters, elementary school student Harumi Yomoda, escaping from Hanuda alive and returning to the real world as she is the only remaining human in the town not infected in some way by the red water.
Rather than employ traditional facial animation methods with polygonal transformation , images of real human faces were captured from eight different angles and superimposed onto the character models, an effect similar to projecting film onto the blank face of a mannequin.
The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggegration website Metacritic. Forbidden Siren 2 is the second installment in the series and was released in February The game tells the story of several characters who become trapped on Yamijima, an island off the coast of mainland Japan.
A film based on the second game was released concurrently. Siren: Blood Curse is the third installment in the series and was released in July The game is a "reimagining" of the first game and it tells the story of an American camera crew's disappearance in a mountainous region in Japan.
The manga was scheduled to move to an online format in April , but due to the author's health complications, the manga was put on hiatus.

As Mamoru and Yuri proceed, they are accosted by Tomoe, who attacks Yuri, calling her a witch, and accusing her of being the same entity as Kanae.
Mamoru and Yuri flee and then encounter Yorito and Takeaki. However, Yuri is afraid of the soldiers, and seems unable to bear the light from their torches.

Meanwhile, back on the tower, Ikuko and Mamoru are reunited. Ikuko is able to stab Tomoe with the Mekkoju branch, finally freeing her soul.
At the same time, Mother scales the tower in an attempt to reach the real world. As she does, the tower crumbles as the fake reality begins to fracture.
With that, Mamoru and Ikuko are sucked into Mother's plane of existence. In a final effort of will, Akiko is able to exert control over her body, and kills herself by plunging the Annunaki Remains into her stomach, simultaneously injuring Mother, and allowing Mamoru and Ikuko to destroy her.
At this point, another red tsunami washes over the island as the fake reality is replaced with the real one, and the timeline is purged.
Lying together on the pier, Mamoru and Ikuko are bathed in sunlight as the dawn breaks. Looking into the sun however, Ikuko squints, as if the light hurts her eyes.
At the same time, Soji is joined on the beach by Tsukasa, and together, they sit and look out at the sun. It is also revealed that with the purging of the timeline Soji's past has changed.
In the wake of Mother's death, Ryuko Tagawa never existed, and hence Soji is no longer a wanted felon. As he comes to, he notices yamibito strolling past, casually going about every day activity; one pushing a pram, one purchasing items from a stall, child yamibito playing.
In the sky, the sun is hidden beyond an apparently permanent total eclipse. Unable to tell if what he is seeing is reality or an illusion, if he is in the realm of the yamibito or imagining it all, he begins to scream and opens fire on the yamibito, gunning down many of them as they attempt to flee.
At the very end, Kyoya Suda, the protagonist of the first game, arrives on Yamijima Island still carrying the Homuranagi sword and the Uryen, swearing that he will destroy every single monster that is still lurking on the island.
The western release had both Japanese and English audio unlike the last game which only had English audio. The game was released on February 9 in Japan on the Playstation 2.
The game never received a North American release. Forbidden Siren 2 received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
It was released in Japan on February 9, to coincide with the Japanese release of the game. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Siren Movie. December 20, Archived from the original on December 20, What is it about the Japanese's sense of the macabre?
Did he long to hear the "gnurrrrrrrgh" death rattles of 1, tortured undead souls, and the soft squelching sound of putrefying flesh rousing itself into twisted irrational battle one last time?
It's funny to think that undead moment in French gaming history would prove to be a watershed moment. Since that inspired moment of plagiarism in , we've experienced ever more fascinating insights into the terror-stricken Japanese psyche: Silent Hill, Project Zero, Dino Crisis and now the latest product of an unhinged mind: Forbidden Siren.
Conceived by Keiichiro Toyama, director of Silent Hill while he was at Konami, this Sony first party offering in many ways is the most deliriously off the wall yet.
Based around the events of a small rural town three days after an earthquake, we follow the fortunes of 10 survivors fighting for their lives, and unravelling the mystery of why this tragic natural disaster has somehow awoken the souls of the undead.
Siren deliberately nurtures a sense of bleak disorientating confusion by making the sights and sounds as terrifying as possible, then structuring the narrative around this 72 hour period and telling the interlinking story from ten different perspectives, switching to another character after each scenario has been completed.
You will be. Getting to grips with the various strands of the narrative, though, isn't likely to happen until you've devoted a huge chunk of your time not only playing it, but also pouring over all the various clues you pick up along the way.
For a long time it can seem a little bewildering to figure out, but luckily the game is self-contained enough to allow anyone to immediately enjoy the feeling of panic as you escape the clutches of the roaming Shibito literally translates as 'Dead Person'.
Right from the word go you're thrown into one test of full-on survival after another, often with nothing more than your bare hands and wits to help avoid an untimely death.
Apart from this well-conceived narrative structure, the games' other key innovation is what's called 'Sight Jacking'.
Each character in the game has the ability to literally see through the eyes of their aggressors by hitting L2 and circling around the compass points on the left stick as if tuning in a radio.
Enemies can then be assigned to the symbols on the pad to allow you a shortcut to where they are. It's a stunningly innovative system, and it adds to the suspense enormously to hear them excitedly groan and slaver disconcertingly in anticipation of their next meal.
Just watching them puffing and panting, head darting around scanning the area and checking out whatever distraction you've placed for them, is genuinely unsettling, and it feels like victory to avoid their gaze and slip past unnoticed.
Each scenario typically throws the player into initially unfamiliar surroundings with the task of going from point A on the map to point B.
Easier said than done. Somehow the Shibito have organised themselves to the extent that they patrol key areas such as bridges and vantage points, constantly looking around to cover all conceivable bases.
Worse still, they have an unerring accuracy with firearms, and as you find out to your cost repeatedly, there's just no getting away from them, no matter how dark it is, or how hidden you think you are.
What makes matters even worse is the fact that your hyper-aware enemy spots you immediately whether you've got your torch on or not, and walking slowly doesn't help either.
Running into their line of sight is pretty much curtains, as just two hits from a rifle or around four from a pistol will do you in, and running away usually isn't good enough unless you can find cover within about a second.
Even enemies without firearms are a menace to society. Get up close with a spade wielding creature and it's much the same story - they chase you down, let out a lupine howl and alert the others to your presence.
You quickly learn to run like hell from the unarmed foes and avoid all chance of being seen from the rest. While you're totally unfamiliar with the rather unwieldy control system this strikes you as a grossly unfair system, especially when you realise that these undead don't even die when shot.
But stick with it, for patience is what this game's all about. Thanks to this almost vertical learning curve, most of the early scenarios feel oppressive in their difficulty and it's not helped by the fact that the game does little to tutor you through this stealthy approach to survival horror.
But in an odd way, it's exactly this lack of hand-holding that lends the game a certain unnerving charm that many of the more formulaic games in this genre have gradually lost over the years.
The best piece of advice anyone could ever give about Forbidden Siren is simply: watch, become proficient with Sight Jacking, take your time, and make your move.
Once the penny drops, the game quickly emerges as one of the cleverest, original and most unsettling anyone has produced in this genre for years.
Some of its good work, though, is undone by a horribly clunky control system that makes combat a good deal harder than it ought to be.
Hand-to-hand combat is reliant on the completion of an animation cycle before you can adjust yourself, you can't block, and making contact is literally a hit and miss affair.
Things improve with a pistol, but you get so little ammo it's hardly worth your while - not to mention the startling realisation that you can only knock the Shibito unconscious for all of two minutes, which is nothing when you're creeping around in the dark trying to avoid imminent death.
Worst of the bunch is when you have to use the rifle, which is a total lottery thanks to its missing lock on, and an auto-zoom mode that focuses and leaves you with no more than a couple of seconds to shoot before your enemy either returns fire or charges.
It certainly makes things tense, and there are none of the perspective issues of, say, Resident Evil, but it's a wholly impractical system that does literally nothing to aid you in your battle for survival.
Maybe that's the point, but it certainly won't win any kudos with the less patient gamer who wants to be able to pick up and play.
Another of the game's less endearing traits is the way it forces you to replay already completed scenarios later on in the game without explanation.
With often more than one escape route on offer, it's possible - through no real fault of your own - to miss out on objectives that move the story on and complete the 'loop', but this isn't ever fully explained.
You're left wondering why this is happening, and possibly annoyed at having to repeat yourself, but the confidence of greater familiarity of your surroundings and the controls often allows you a much easier ride to explore further and complete what you didn't the first time around.
In fact, you'll wonder why you had such a hard time initially, and the game becomes a great deal more satisfying as a result of the enforced practice.
Then again, it still doesn't explain why the designers felt the need to include a map that doesn't indicate your position on it, causing you no end of problems when you first dip into any given environment.
