The sequel to Forbidden Siren , a survival horror game, puts you again in control of several characters. The game takes place on a island on the coast of Japan called Yamijima. The story begins when the characters have to dock to the island to survive the raging storm. 29 years earlier, all the island's inhabitants disappeared in a blackout and you will need to investigate this mystery.
The sequel adds new features in the game, which most notably include the new Yami Bito demons. The game also has a new alert system which functions through the controller's vibration function and alerts you of any nearby danger.
Stealth plays an important role, as well as light and darkness, as the creatures are sensitive to it in different ways. Just like in the previous game, you can sight-jack enemies and animals, to view the environment through their eyes. There are over 30 weapons to collect and there are three difficulty options.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a survival horror game where players must escape a Japanese village that has been pulled into a nightmarish alternate dimension. You play as one of the few human survivors, struggling to resist a supernatural siren's call while navigating a distorted landscape and evading corrupted villagers. The game involves exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth to survive the unfolding horror.
Story
The Siren's Call
At midnight, a siren calls from beyond a sea of red, and a village mysteriously disappears. The Japanese village of Hanuda teeters between two worlds—the world of the living, and a nightmarish world where the buildings have been ruined, the land has been distorted, and the mountains have been replaced by an unending sea.
An ancient ceremony in the forest has been interrupted. As a result, the boundaries between the worlds are collapsing and the villagers of Hanuda have found themselves uncontrollably drawn by the sound of a haunting Siren into the blood red waters.
When they emerge, their souls are consumed by evil... an evil that also threatens to consume the handful of human survivors who must escape the village, even as they struggle to resist the call of the SIREN.
Welcome to Hanuda
Hanuda is found deep inland, bordered by mountains on three sides. In many ways, the village is representative of a traditional Japanese settlement: it is made up of several distinct areas and is home to a close-knit community of families who have lived in the region for generations.
However, the villagers are suspicious of outsiders and are protective of their deep-rooted local traditions and clandestine spiritual beliefs. Hanuda has done its best to remain isolated from the outside world...for a good reason.

Playing the Game
In SIREN, a series of interlinked events unfold with each episode, or 'stage', seen through the eyes of a particular set of characters during a specific point in time. Only one primary character is controlled during each stage, although players can also direct the actions of secondary characters by issuing commands to them.
When a stage is cleared, the next one becomes accessible. At a certain point in the game, players will unlock a "Stage Select" screen, allowing them to choose their next stages in any order. The more stages that are completed, the larger the number of available stages becomes.
Stages will not necessarily be played in chronological order. The individual stages are organically interconnected, however, and events occurring in an 'earlier' stage will sometimes affect what happens in a 'later' stage.
A flowchart of the stages played so far, and how they relate to each other, can be viewed at any time using the 'scenario link navigator' that is accessible from the Pause Menu.
Note
Further information on the 'scenario link navigator' can be found in the Pause Menu section of this manual.
Game Flow

3. Mission Objective(s)
Next, the primary objective for the stage will be displayed. If you have unlocked the secondary mission objective, it will also be displayed. Once either mission objective has been completed, the stage will end.
If you complete the primary objective first, you will have to retry the stage to complete the secondary objective. If the controlled character or a companion in the stage is killed, the mission will be failed. Select 'Try Again' to restart the stage.
