'The basic idea is: simple to learn movements with your hands represent movements of attacking, defending and praying. Depending on the difficulty of your opponents you will fight with simpler or more complex gestures and with one or two hands.'Įxactly how will the gesture system work? 'Talking about gestures is like dancing about architecture (or so they say),' Seifert mused. 'But when you enter the Bardo, the shadow world, you sense the enemies with the IR pointer and you use praying and fighting gestures to defeat the evil sprits. In certain situations we utilize motion sensing for climbing, balancing, chases etc.,' he said. 'Controlling the character in the physical world is straight forward. Seifert also elaborated on the game controls. 'Somehow he always knew his brother would get into trouble one day and sure enough, on a particularly difficult route that has never been successfully completed, his brother is lost.'Ĭoncept art: one of the not-so-nice monks in the game. He cares a lot for his younger brother, also a climber, and has deep concerns about his overambitious, high risk-taking nature,' Seifert said.

Exactly who is the main character - other than a climber, that is? 'He is an experienced high altitude climber, well known in the international climbing community. In addition, the title will feature IR / pointer and gesture-based controls for exploration and combat respectively.Īlthough Deep Silver is still unwilling to divulge too many details about the project, we did get a few extra tidbits from Hannes Seifert, who also serves as executive producer on the game. Since the game is set on the 'roof of the world,' players will be able to see the entire game world from any level. 'Deep Silver is confident that Cursed Mountain will help to further establish our international presence, and help expand the survival horror game genre on the Wii platform.'Īccording to Deep Silver, Cursed Mountain will boast advanced graphics and amazing scenery. 'With a fresh setting, gloomy atmosphere and the innovative use of the Wii controls, Cursed Mountain will deliver a unique, terrifying game play experience,' said Hannes Seifert, Managing Director at the Deep Silver development studio.
