| Kuon (Video Game) | comment |
A 2004 Survival Horror game developed by FromSoftware and published by Agetec for the Play Station 2, Kuon is based on ancient Japanese ghost stories. Set in Heian-era Kyoto, it tells the strange, dark and grisly tale of a cursed mansion and all the terrors that lurk within...Much like Evergrace before it, Kuon has two parallel storylines ("phases" in this game), each with a different Player Character: Utsuki, daughter of Doman, a disgraced court exorcist. Her phase is Yin, the Chapter of Shadow. She and her frail sister Kureha brave the mansion in search of their father, who has gone missing after being assigned to break the curse. She uses a dagger to defend herself, and can also use spells. Sakuya, Doman's only female disciple. Her phase is Yang, the Chapter of Light. She and her fellow disciples, including her brother Doryo, are summoned to the mansion to investigate. She helps Utsuki on numerous occasions. She fights with a fan, and can perform spells and summonings.If you complete both the Yin and Yang stages, then you can unlock the Kuon phase, which follows where the Cliffhanger left off. For the final chapter, you play as the legendary exorcist and Doman's bitter rival Abe-no-Seimei, as she (yes, she) takes it upon herself to solve the crisis once and for all. Her weapon is a spear, and she has unlimited magical ability. Only by completing the Kuon phase can you attain the Golden Ending.The antagonists that our two protagonists face are the Gaki, the mansion's former inhabitants (or what remains of them) who have been turned into bloodthirsty ghouls that are randomly encountered throughout the game. Other characters include the owner of the mansion Lord Fujiwara, his wife, their daughter Ayako, the high priest of the local shrine, and the mysterious unnamed twins who crop up every now and then, either to deliver cryptic information or just generally be creepy.The plot is developed through a series of reports, documents and diary extracts, and can prove pretty complex. However the setting, while chilling and bloody, is also beautiful and the suspense created by the music and lighting (or sometimes lack thereof) gives the game a great sense of depth. | |

Shows Damage: Like Resident Evil, the "healthbar" is only shown in the menu, but your characters will actually show sign of discomfort when they drop at half health (Utsuki will raise a hand to her chest, Sakuya will cover her eyes) and both will undergo "Vertigo" when near death. | |

Unreliable Narrator: It's implied by several missing sequences and at least one instance where Sakuya's brother goes with her in Sakuya's route that Utsuki's version of events is the least accurate. Particularly after she merges with Kureha. | |

Body Horror: Your average Gaki is a small, bloated creature, half-rotten and covered in blood. But that doesn't compare to demons like the centipede-woman (who literally tears herself apart when she transforms) or the incomplete cocoons, which look like humans wrapped in silk that drag themselves across the ground, moaning pitifully. Most of the corpses are also horribly disfigured. | |

Optional Stealth: You can either run or walk, but a note in-game advises you to almost never, ever run: while running allows you to move faster and outrun foes, walking makes much less noise, allowing you not only to sneak upon unsuspecting enemies, but also to keep enemies (especially Ghosts) at bay. Furthermore, Tempests will cause you to stumble with vertigo if you're running when they happen. | |

Plucky Girl: Sakuya, who seems mostly unfazed by the curse or the creepy mansion, and calmly slaughters the Gaki left and right. Even Utsuki qualifies, since she continued searching for her father despite how afraid and alone she felt. | |

Kudzu Plot | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_8b5e8731 | comment |
Kudzu Plot: Utsuki's and Sakuya's "phases" (Yin and Yang) take place roughly at the same time and go through more or less the same plot points, even having both characters solve the same puzzles, kill the same enemies, etc. However, their stories frequently intersect, and are neatly tied up by the epilogue. So both stories are canonical, and take place within the same timeline, even though they often contradict each other in terms of cause and effect. What's worse, even though both heroines share a number of scenes together, only a couple of these are shown in the Yin phase, making the timeline even more inconsistent. | |

Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence: Did you want to leap up a steep slope of uneven rocks one leg at a time? Go for it. That sparse, ankle-high pile of random household objects you could even push aside with your foot if you needed to? Out of the question. These sorts of paths and roadblocks are everywhere to a ridiculous degree. The heroines will regularly have to find a way around obstacles that they could simply walk through—not over, through. | |

Already Undone for You | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_ab998a84 | comment |
Already Undone for You: Particularly egregious in some cases, as the two leads are traversing roughly the same area at the same time, yet any area that they share will have the same puzzles, jumpscares, enemies, and in some cases boss fights, and this is all without mentioning how Doman and his disciples are getting around. Subverted with Seimei, who comes much later and is able to utilize some of the shortcuts that the other two unlocked, and others that are exclusive to her route. Possibly justified, as much of Utsuki's scenario is revealed to have been conjured up by her mind while she was in the process of merging with Kureha, so she wasn't physically going through the same spaces as Sakuya. | |

Sanity Meter: Although it's less deep than some.

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Doman's entire plan involves using the Kuon curse, the Mulberry Kami, and his daughters to gain power over Seimei. Not only does Seimei defeat him and seal the Mulberry, but he's also absorbed by Utsuki as her ninth grudge, allowing Utsuki to break the cycle and be reborn. | |

You Have to Burn the Web: Subverted. The silk webs can only be destroyed using a special item, despite you carrying a flaming knife/fan and fire talismans. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Meditation allows you to recover your health without wasting herbs. And since enemies won't chase you in other areas, you can always run away and recover if you're at a disadvantage. | |

Miko: Utsuki and Kureha could be considered this, since they are the daughters of the shrine and know how to use certain types of magic. They look the part as well. Seimei greatly resembles a miko. | |

Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_f03efcdb | comment |
Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: The twins are actually manifestations of a very special kind of mulberry tree, one of which found at Fujiwara Manor and the other at the Silkworm Shrine (Utsuki, Kureha, and Doman's home). Rather than fruit, they produce the eggs of silkworms who spin fragile cocoons that can temporarily bring dead people back to life. In order to keep from eventually dying again, the subject must be re-cocooned with another being, absorbing their "grudge" as nourishment. They need to absorb more powerful beings each time, culminating in the absorption of someone close to them. After nine times, the subject becomes a new mulberry fruit/tree, presuming they manage to survive this delicate process. Failures either die or become gaki. | |

MacGuffin Guardian | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_f217a6e | comment |
MacGuffin Guardian: Minor one, the Ennyo miniboss guards several items inside the cupboard it was sealed in. A grotesquely mutated Lord Fujiwara guards the bell needed to call for Ayako. In the Yang Chapter, a huge undead ape has taken residence in the hut where the Mallet is stored. Rather than fight it head on, Sakuya must patiently wait for the monster to leave the room before she can sneak in, retrieve the Mallet and leave. | |

Lock and Key Puzzle | |
| Kuon (Video Game) / int_fb21b816 | comment |
Lock and Key Puzzle: As a survival horror game, there are a lot of these. Most of them have to do with either planetary seals, which are locked until you get the specific bloodsoaked rag that unseals them, or mechanisms, which each require a one off item such as a chisel, spike, or lever. | |

Was Once a Man: Yamabito had it easy, but amongst the failures produced by the cocoons we have the grotesque, bloated Gaki, the animalistic, fish-like Mizuhiki, the slug-like Adamushi, and the pathetic-looking mass of slithering flesh known as Ennyo. | |
