.: April 21, 2015Mode(s)Haunting Ground, known in Japan as Demento, is a video game developed and published by for the in 2005. The story follows Fiona Belli, a young woman who wakes up in the dungeon of a castle after being involved in a car accident. She quickly befriends a, Hewie, and begins to explore the castle with his aid to seek a means of escape and unravel the mysteries of it and its inhabitants. The game shares many similarities with Capcom's earlier survival horror title (2002), and has been described as a to the series.The player controls Fiona as she explores the environment, evades and hides from enemy pursuers, and occasionally fights against the castle's inhabitants.
Sometimes Fiona will panic when in danger, in which case she begins to run on her own and the player loses some control. Hewie is a central part to the gameplay, and accompanies Fiona throughout the game. He can be given orders to explore the environment, attack enemies, and otherwise aid in Fiona's survival. Capcom added the dog mechanic during development thinking retailers and players alike would not enjoy a survival horror title with a lone female protagonist.Haunting Ground was first revealed in September 2004, and was released next April garnering mixed to average reviews.
The graphics and presentation were praised, but critics found the gameplay somewhat repetitive, predictable, and derivative of previous horror titles. The game's nature and the of Fiona were highlighted by critics as some of the game's best elements. They felt that by exposing Fiona as a vulnerable object of desire, the game makes her and therefore the player feel more fragile and endangered, building a more disturbing atmosphere. The fluctuating degree of player control over Fiona has made Haunting Ground a key subject in the study of and their relationship with players in video games. Fiona escapes from Debilitas after ordering Hewie to attack him.Haunting Ground is a game with similar gameplay elements to (2002). The player controls Fiona Belli directly and gives commands to her canine companion, Hewie. Fiona can run and perform a backstep maneuver, both of which reduce stamina.
She can also crouch down to hide from enemy pursuers. Fiona can kick and tackle enemies as well, but tackling also reduces stamina.: 12–13 Losing too much stamina will result in Fiona becoming exhausted, causing her movements to slow down or possibly stop altogether.
Exhaustion can be revived with certain items or with time.: 14–15 Fiona can interact with the environment by checking items, opening doors, and climbing ladders.: 12–13 The player can utilize hiding spots to evade pursuers. Other areas act as retaliation points that allow Fiona to use her environment to counterattack against her enemy, although some of these locations can only be used once.: 18–19Commanding Hewie is an integral part of Haunting Ground's gameplay. At the beginning of the game, he won't be completely friendly and obey all of Fiona's commands. The player has to build a friendship and gain his trust in order to survive the game.: 16–17 Hewie can be told to sniff out items, check suspicious areas or items, attack an enemy, or called back to Fiona's side.: 12–13,16–17 The player can praise Hewie by petting and feeding him, both of which can heal his vitality.: 12–13,20–21 Likewise, he can be scolded when he won't listen to commands. He can be told to 'stand ready' before attacking, which increases his attack power.: 16–17Enemies can hear footsteps and other sounds.: 22–23 When Fiona is in a dangerous situation, she may fall into a panic. During panic mode, visibility gets worse, the menu can't be opened, and she will begin running on her own, tripping and falling into walls. Panic mode will elapse after some time, or certain items can be used to calm her down.
There are glowing orbs called 'Luminescents', which will put Fiona in a state of panic and attract enemies to her. If Fiona sustains a significant amount of damage, she will slow down and become unable to backstep. If she receives too much damage she can die.
Damage heals with time or items can be used to bring her vitality back to normal.: 14–15 While some items are used to heal Fiona and Hewie, others are used to damage enemies. Some can be thrown while others are set like traps for the enemy to walk over.: 18–19 Some items are found by searching while others can be crafted in refining rooms.: 20–21 Plot Fiona Belli is an 18-year-old girl who recently moved to college. While visiting her parents, she is involved in a car accident, and awakens in a cage in the dungeon of a castle. Her memories of the incident are hazy. Noting that the cage that keeps her prisoner has been left unlocked, she steps out and begins searching for answers and a way out of the castle. Soon after, she befriends a named Hewie.
As Fiona begins to unravel the mystery in which she finds herself, she learns that she is the carrier of the, an alchemic element, which for unknown reasons is being sought by Riccardo, the castle's keeper.The first enemy Fiona encounters is Debilitas, a large, mentally disabled groundskeeper who thinks of Fiona as one of his dolls. Fiona learns from a mysterious man named Lorenzo, that to escape the castle, she needs a staff from the chapel. However, upon taking the staff, Debilitas corners Fiona and Hewie, forcing a confrontation. They defeat Debilitas, but soon find their next enemy, Daniella, an icy maid. Daniella covets Fiona's ability to smell, taste, touch, feel, and 'experience pleasure.' She is especially jealous that Fiona can create life (via a fertile womb).
Daniella is defeated when she is impaled with a shard from a ceiling window pane.The third villain is Riccardo, who wields a. For the majority of the game, Riccardo keeps his face hidden under a hood. Upon revealing himself however, Fiona is shocked to see her dead father's face. Riccardo reveals that he and her father, Ugo, are clones.
He murdered Ugo in the car accident as revenge for leaving the castle and marrying Fiona's mother. He plans to use Fiona (by means of her womb and use of her Azoth) to bring about his own rebirth, so that he may live forever. As they fight atop a, Hewie rescues Fiona by attacking Riccardo, causing him to fall from the summit.The final enemy is Lorenzo, who seemed to be an ally, but who now menaces Fiona in several different forms.
Fiona first meets him as an old, crippled man. He tells Fiona that Riccardo was always the problem child, and that he created both Riccardo and Ugo in an attempt to find a body with an Azoth which he could use to gain immortality. Ugo had the Azoth, but left the castle to marry Ayla. Now with Riccardo dead, Lorenzo believes that Fiona is his, so he can take the Azoth she inherited from her father. He chases after Fiona, but she is able to crush him in a rock press.
However, she soon encounters a resurrected, youthful Lorenzo; the life energy he acquired from Riccardo's body has allowed him mastery over his own aging process. With the help of Hewie, Fiona causes Lorenzo to fall into a pit of lava. At this point, the castle begins to shake and collapse, and Lorenzo returns as a flaming skeleton. He chases Fiona as she heads for the exit, and attempts to block her escape, but as they reach the door, he finally dies, and Fiona and Hewie leave the castle.Development and release. ^ Dunham, Jeremy (May 25, 2005).
