Let the machine get it
Boo! Did we scare you? No? Well then, there's a pretty good chance Hudson's horror game Calling won't either. Try as it might, the game never really goes beyond that three-letter interjection in its mysterious tale of ghosts and the supernatural. It's not horrible, but there are only so many times you can be snuck up on until...

About The Game
Are you ready for Hudson's brand new survival horror Wii title?
The Black Page
Rumor has it that you will die if you visit the Black Page Website and see “something” in the site. Anyone can visit the site, but only a few can actually see things within the site. The site is literary all in black and just shows a counter. Some say the site is a hoax, a prank, or a marketing ploy. A few people say the site is a bridge to something sinister and the counter indicates the number of people who have died after seeing the site.
Main Characters
Those who see something in the Black Page begin to stray somewhere between life and death. There are multiple characters who are present throughout the game. The Calling revolves around these characters and their fight for survival.
In-Between Space
The spirits of the dead go to the space-between-space where the Calling revolves around. This place is made up by the memory of dead characters and various locations in the space such as houses, schools and hospitals etc. Someone or something is drawing the living to this space for a reason that becomes apparently horrifying once the characters discover the truth.
FEATURES
- Traditional Survival Horror: No rocket launchers, no chain saws, no suits of armor. Calling is a story that revolves around real people in their fight for survival.
- Intuitive controls designed for the Wii to navigate characters throughout the world.
- Equipment: Flash lights, note pads, radios, etc. that you can use to escape the Calling

Will this be used with the "Wii Vitality Sensor"? It seems like a perfect fit.
Looks like Dreamcst graphics. But I am still very interested
Then it might be a great game. Usually when they concentrate on graphics wholly, the gameplay sucks. Besides buffalobob, Dreamcast graphics where great. Shenmue anyone?
I can say that I can't wait for this. I LOVE Japanese horror. American horror is stupid and not really scary just nasty. Japanese horror actually makes you not want to sleep. Fatal Fram anyone??
It seems that Hudson is incapable of making bad games when they aren't making shovelware like Deca Sports and Diner Crap.
a very good game i forgot I had in my game case i just found Lol I think this might be Nintendo's way of saying we are trying to make a new Fatal Frame with out a Camera instead lets use a phone seeing as phones are big right now...
