Haunting Ground, a PS2 game, was released on 2005 when PS3 was upcoming back then. Usually when the next-gen consoles are about to get released, that is when video game developers are able to maximize the hardware potential of the current-gen consoles so they can render much detailed graphics. That could explain why Haunting Ground, as well as Resident Evil 4 and Shadow of the Colossus, were some of the most good-looking games on PS2.

Also, who gave the azoth for Fiona was her father, not her mother, because Ugo was Aureolus clone and therefore had the powerful azoth. (sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language.)

@@PinkPanther45518 Who do you think had the idea to give Ayla the Azoth! The two brought Fiona with them hoping to make a deal with Ugo "Father" (Creator) for Ayla using Fiona! (If I remember Ayla was also a maid in the castle at the time of Ugo and Riccardo creation, that's how Ugo and Ayla met! Also if I remember Ayla was sick) but as you know already as EricPaz put it. He was killed by Riccardo...and I like to think less about Ayla after what Daniella (her replacement as a maid of the castle) did to her remains! Also to add that debilitas cares.........well provided you go the path of not killing him, but that may also be fear! Who knows! Also another thing I found out and still trying to fully confirm as I found this out on Haunting Grounds Tv Tropes entry! Daniella is actually human! She's just been driven insane into thinking she isn't human. I would wonder HOW that would be true with some of the shit she pulls, but I can chalk it up to Lorenzo and/or Riccardo experimenting on her that much of her senses got dulled! And Riccardo might have originally TRIED to copy what Ugo did with Ayla, but of course that was a failure from the start because Ugo was the one with the Azoth! And the Azoth may have been the factor of why Fiona was even BORN in the first place (without it, the clones likely can't procreate with human women! And I'm guessing it's a one shot seeing how Fiona is the only child born between the two and Ugo was immediately killed by Riccardo so I'm guessing it's like "The Darkness" where the Entity leaves it's previous host the moment they get a female woman pregnant with their seed! Going through said seed to a new Host in the child...which kills the father as the Darkness is the thing keeping him alive and immortal! So when Ugo got Ayla pregnant with Fiona, the Azoth left him and went within Fiona) KOT EBANA ROT is right though, No one really cared about Fiona! Ugo and Ayla might have at first....maybe, I don't know with that "Thirsty for immortality" line! If Riccardo is any indication! Ugo might have only been "slightly" stable mentally!

Daniella actually hates Fiona because she has a uterus, and when you die you can hear daniella tearing fiona apart to get said uterus. That's because what makes fiona a woman and the whole theme of this game is birth and resurrection, daniella can't do that because she doesn't have one. That's why she keeps saying to fiona she was the perfect woman but she's missing "something". Thats why she hates Fiona. Also its implied in the begining scene where Daniella is making pasta, Fiona comments on how soft and angel hair it is, which is the same description of her moms golden angel hair and how familiar it looks to her, via gameplay when you press the action button to investigate and also her personal journals in the menu, sooooooo it's implied they killed her mom and made her into soup that fiona was served, and basically quotes whatever daniella is cooking seems "off" and has a strange smell. And she gets freaked out during I think a dinner scene (it's been awhile since I've played this game but thought about replacing lately!) It's also implied debilitas also rapes fiona after you, the character dies as her, if you listen to the sounds after the death screen, but I'm not sure if that's entirely true or not. But the daniella thing absolutely is.

Rule of Rose especially needs a remake the most out of all of these because I found the gameplay absolutely awful. The camera was shit, the controls were uncomfortable to handle, the way it played was just the fucking worst and the mechanics with the dog were just non-existent. You basically just followed the dog on a strict AI path for 80% of the game. It was an awful playing experience. However it's story was really good and the characters were deep and complex.

The case with Daniella is actually more complicated than that. She is actually a human being, but was tortured into believing she was artificial. Her pursuit of Fiona also isn't just due to jealousy but also because she wants to cut out Fiona's womb and implant it into herself to become a "real woman". Yeah, the game's really screwed up.

I played this game to death when I was a kid. I got it for 10 bucks from a pawn shop, not realizing what it was, and then went on to get my hands on a factory sealed copy for $50 from resale shop a few years later. One thing that always irked me about watching game reviews is that nobody ever seems to talk about the fact that if you get good with the "combat" system, you can knock the chasers out and loot stuff off of them. Plus the whole equipment system factoring into that never seems fully explored. There are boots tipped with magnesia that explode when you kick enemies, earrings that make you invisible when you stand still, a necklace that makes you more calm, etc. Plus the whole alchemy minigame seems to get glossed over, but it's honestly the key to mastering the game from a combative standpoint. Most of the good equipment you can get comes from that minigame.

to note on azoth: in proper alchemy, it's sometimes used as a synonym for the various great works(the philosophers stone, the universal solvent, immortality, creating life), and at one point it became a poetic name for mercury, but the 'main', defining idea of it is as some sort of nebulous divine principle energy and platonic ur-matter that may be a great work itself or may tie into the others.

If you only ever have the things you make only ever influenced by things in the same medium eventually there will be stagnation. Though there are problems with how video games take inspiration from movies. They don't try to get the meaning or what makes the things in movies work they just emulate the look and feel without any concern for substance. It's like when there are games coming out in the Battle Royale that are there only to chase the fame of Fortnite. They don't care what people liked about it, just emulating it. They take the skin of movies, but not the bones and guts that make movies so good.

You're absolutely right about cinematography. Fixing the camera at a specific angle, or restricting the field the player can look around in, or even just leaving it unrestricted but carefully picking the specific angle the camera starts at or using some other trick to subconsciously encourage a player to look in a specific angle or direction, can have a great effect on the impact a scene can have.

Indeed, silly costumes are the way to go. To fill in some things: There’s a scene you can find that shows Lorenzo finding Riccardo’s Corpse and absorbing his azoth. No idea how his body was in any shape after going through the crusher. Riccardo has a tiny amount but even that was enough to restore him to his prime. Danielle is actually human but after Lorenzo and Riccardo found out she Was infertile and had no Azoth, they began abusing her. The tragedy is that she was human all along (and yes, you are correct, it was jealousy. Her game over is her ripping out Fiona’s womb as a demented attempted to claim it and the azoth). Another interesting note which shows how powerless Fiona was: her parents were bringing her to the castle to sacrifice her. In the endless zero song (the one during the end credits) her parents Ugo and Ayla are talking about how Fiona has Azoth and Ayla is hungry for immortality. Likely they were going to go and offer Fiona up in exchange for Ayla being made immortal and for Ugo to be forgiven (since he was originally going to be a meal for Lorenzo). They didn’t know Riccardo had taken over the castle (though likely Lorenzo would have killed them anyway) Riccardo was trying to rape Fiona as by impregnating her with his Azoth (the scene wher Fiona finds out Riccardo stripped and gave her an ovulation test was so disturbing), he would claim all of her Azoth and be born as a perfect Lorenzo. The game does do an excellent job of expressing Fiona’s powerlessness and it has a pretty strong feminist bent as all of the pursuers only see her for how she benefits them and literally objectify her. The only other woman in the game has been so beaten down by not living up to the ideal of her abusers that she strikes out at Fiona. ...okay, yeah, I love the hell out of this game. I love the disturbing game overs (necrophilia anyone?) the surprise deaths (Iron Maiden) the ways to make boss fights harder, and of course best boy Hewie

So it's noted on Fiona's model's face, hair, and even maybe the sleeves of her upper arms are much similar to Jill's RE5 version, but there was a lot of rumors that Haunting Ground was a scrapped idea where Leon has to help a girl who befriended a B.O.W. dog, but they changed it to where it would only be a girl he had to save, hence Ashley. There was another rumor about Devil May Cry was another scrapped idea for RE4, which is why a big thing that is similar is the design on Dante's chest during his Devil trigger is almost the same as the design that you have to make on the back of the church and inside of the church that you see on the tombstones in front of the church in the cemetery.

The lack of loading time in between rooms is really impressive and yeah, how distinct each room was to the point that you don't glance at the map to check where you are. It's very true. Oh yes the camera angles where amazing too! In every room it's like the camera is set up on a corner of the ceiling where your movements are tracked at all times but gives you the entire layout of the area you are in! It really does give you the position of a third person watching the scene!

Azoth is, as described by Daniella, "the essence of life". It is the key to creating clones, such as Riccardo and Ugo, and establishing immortality. Azoth is found in everyone but Fiona's is more potent, given her heritage. This is also why there are many deceased animals, implying Hewie was going to be used for his Azoth as well. Azoth also appears to lie within the womb, hence why you see there's a lot of focus on Fiona's stomach. Hope that makes sense!

I guess she felt more like the playable character, so you took her reactions as more empathetic and attached to the character. The same would happen if you heard a child play as a child character in a videogame. I’ve noticed that when I watch a man voice a girl or a kid the immersion is a little bit broken, but of course the same happens in the case of a woman voicing male characters. For example, if you heard me voice an older character, you would probably be a bit disturbed because my voice is high as hell.

This game is basically like playing a Gothic novel instead of reading it. There are several tropes from the genre that are prominently featured in the game and it works. It just works. The story and plot alone are very reminiscent of something you'd expect Sheridan Le Fanu or Emily Bronte or Ann Radcliffe or Matthew Gregory Lewis to write. For these reasons, it's one of my favourite horror games. And in my opinion, emulating literature so closely is a very difficult, albeit unique thing to pull off in a video game. From the atmosphere and sound design and characters to the story and plot itself -- it's just all so fucking good. Haunting Ground is truly underrated and I hope it get's a remake someday. The game deserves it.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the sound design. The music in the castle has a creepy tone to it and is littered with silence for a few seconds quite frequently. This makes the music integral as when a chaser is in an adjacent room and is about to enter a room the music stops playing, so you have to decide in an instant if it’s just the track giving off silence or if a pursuer is entering the room.

Here's my advice for this game (I have played and beaten this game at least over 20 times. I love this game so much) ALWAYS praise Hewei. If you just want to play the game and have Hewei listen, just pet him and play with him. lol He doesn't listen because you two aren't super close yet, so the more you love him, the more Hewei WANTS to listen and help Fiona ALSO! When you tell Hewei to attack, if you call him back once he latches on the enemy, he's more likely to let go or dodge the enemy before they can try to hit him or knock him off. He'll do less damage and won't hold them back for as long for you to escape, but it can really safe/protect him later on in the game from the more dangerous stalkers like Richardo (Who will intentionally go after Hewie)

You're not alone in remembering that Bionicle game. That game was MY JAM when I was a kid.

Yay! So glad you finally got round to this. One of my all time faves. And yeah, the added costumes make the whole experience so much... weirder. I think you probably should have talked about some of those alternate endings though - there's some really unsettling stuff to be found there. And a wonderful moment with some stairs...

Great Review (as usual) Nitro Rad! About what you said (at around 27:25) about loving "goofy costume" unlocks in Horror games? That's one of the best parts about another Capcom game series - "Dead Rising". While not "Survival Horror" and more "Action Horror", it's still a cool detail

This game is really interesting, but the jiggle physics on Fiona are so exaggerated it can actually get distracting.

wouldn't that be a great horror point? to distract you from fiona's actual survival from evading her stalkers

Well, the fucked up plot is centered around the fact that Fionna is a hot young girl so it never felt out of place... still, I would've prefered her tits a bit smaller.

I guess maybe that was the point. Playing a girl possibly under aged put in a sexualized outfit by the antagonist with themes of rape did make me pretty uncomfortable.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for reviewing "Haunting Ground"! This game means so much to me, and its themes really resonated with me, especially as I've grown older. Hopefully this has encouraged others to find their own meaning in it, too.

@@deltaknight2764 Matoran is *much* simpler, as they literally just replaced each normal letter with a unique symbol (which usually looks like the letter it represents). Klingon, however is a different beast entirely, basically becoming a limited language just by itself.

This game did its research for the alchemical references. For example, Azoth is said to be a kind of universal medicine. The intrinsic agent behind all transmutation and, by extension, life. Were someone able to claim more of it, then they could persist beyond death.

I personally favour costumes that are easter eggs, like dressing up as Van Helsing in a vampire game for an example.
