The story starts as a group of characters are washed up on the island's shore after their boat is caught in a violent storm. Unbeknownst to them, 29 years earlier, all the inhabitants of the island mysteriously disappeared in a black-out. Up until now, the events of that ill-fated night remain unsolved. But as the chilling sound of a warning siren rings out over the island, the castaways are faced with the awakening of the Shibito (living dead) and the Yamibito (people of the dark).<br> | ||
To survive the island, players need to use light to their advantage. Both the Yamibito and Shibito are sensitive to light - but in opposing ways. To wipe out the Yamibito, the survivors will have to use lights, but in order to face the Shibito they will need to light, smashing streetlamps, or hiding in the darkness. Players can also use a variety of weapons to dispose of their enemies as well as running them down by using abandoned vehicles.<br> | |||
Sequel to ''[[Siren]]'' (Forbidden Siren in Europe). Like its predecessor, Forbidden Siren 2 is divided into numerous scenarios, organized chronologically in a table called the "Link Navigator". In order to complete a scenario, the player must accomplish a primary mission objective that usually involves reaching an exit point, subduing certain enemies (called "Shibito" and "Yamibito"), or finding an item. Objectives in different scenarios are interconnected via a butterfly effect, and a character's actions in one scenario can trigger a secondary objective in another.<br> | Sequel to ''[[Siren]]'' (Forbidden Siren in Europe).
