Siren: Blood Curse is a PlayStation 3 game released worldwide in 2008. The game adds Americans to a roster that are composite expies of the original cast members in a re-imagining of Siren 1, a likely Shout-Out to Western adaptations of classic J-Horror films like Ringu/The Ring and Ju On/The Grudge.On August 2, 2007, an American film crew trying to conduct filming on a documentary in Hanuda stumbles on an Mana ceremony where a woman was being dragged to be killed. A foreigner was seen rescuing her from her executioner. But while this deed saved her, it led to the the loud siren noises, cutting off the village from the rest of the outside world.

Cherry Tapping: Like Forbidden Siren 2, all characters can do a melee attack. Unlike the shove from that game, all characters in Blood Curse can instead start punching the Shibito. This deals very little damage (And the Shibito can block and counter attack if you keep doing full combo on them) but with the right strategy, it is possible to kill a Shibito with them, though it takes so long that you're better off only punching to stun them then running.

The Flatwoods Monster
 Siren: Blood Curse (Video Game) / int_145fb819
comment
The Flatwoods Monster: Archive file #25, titled The Gojaku Giant, tells of the arrival of a 9-foot tall alien on August 25th, 1856, near Mount Gojaku. It tried to communicate with the locals, but its foul smell knocked out anyone near it. The accompanying drawing is of the Flatwoods Monster re-envisioned by 19th Century Japanese art standards.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: A player should feel suspicious when playing Bella again, suddenly sneaking through a flower-overgrown mountain bathed in golden sunlight, even though she just barely escaped a hospital in the middle of the night. Cue seeing that person bang at the window as a fully transformed Shibito later.

Stable Time Loop: In the remake, one of the characters has to set everything into motion by e-mailing another one from 1973 after the town goes whacked again. As well Amana, meet Bella. Bella, meet Amana.

 Siren: Blood Curse (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: It's the same deal as the first game. Kaiko and Amana are dead, Hanuda is once again destroyed, and the rest of the cast is dead, but things are slightly better- Howard manages to live, and returns to the village to exact revenge upon the Shibito and rid the world of them once and for all. He's also not stuck in their dimension, and the game ends on a montage of him butchering the village and saving the world. Sam, on the other hand, is stuck in the past, and must act on the Stable Time Loop that brings Howard to the village in the first place.

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard
 Siren: Blood Curse (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4
comment
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Two small instances of this are present: In the very first stage, Shuji will eventually automatically kill Howard with a finisher if you try to fight him before you're supposed to. There is a mechanic where if you stop right behind a Shibito, they will "hear" something and automatically turn around and spot you, notable becuase bumping into Shibito when crouched doesn't alert them but stopping behind them will.

Tactical Door Use: The player can "Brace" doors to hold them shut and prevent a Shibito entering, if successful it will force the Shibito to either give up or find an alternative path to the player.

Bolivian Army Ending: Howard and Sam are the only survivors. However, the former is still in Hanuda, intent on fulfilling his promise to destroy the village; while the latter is dropped in the real world in 1972, the year Hanuda vanished, which allows him to draw Howard to the area and secure the time loop.

Backtracking
 Siren: Blood Curse (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03
comment
Backtracking: It's a bit like the first Siren game, but it starts in the second half of the game due to it being the second loop; everyone starts where they originally did, and must go to where they're meant to go, which often means going back through the same areas.

Split Screen: Sight-Jacking is now visualized this way, with your view on the left and the view of your enemy on the right, notably your three shortcut sight-jack views will show up when you sight-jack, meaning up to four screens can be shown. (You on the left and the three sight-jacked views that you decided to shortcut.)

Foreshadowing: Archive 1 is a much-copied version of Bella's notebook (Archive 11). Note the letters on the cover, the occasional spiders in the upper corner and at one point a face that corresponds to the goth girl on the lower corner. They even kept the purple borders, and an approximation of the wire on the spine.

Shout-Out
 Siren: Blood Curse (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The game is made in the style of a Western J-Horror remake, with a composite Expy cast that includes Americans who decide to pay that quaint little village of Hanuda a visit. A couple archive items in the first level of Blood Curse name the producer for Melissa and Sol's show as one John Titor. It's appropriate, considering one of Blood Curse's main twists. Another archive item in Blood Curse discusses a fictional handheld game system, the "Network King", and how an attempted follow-up system flopped hard, leaving the creators with a mountain of unsold units they ended up burying in an "undiscovered location" before a chain reaction of bankruptcies erupted through the entire toy industry - a clear reference to Atari burying unsold stocks of the infamous E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial immediately before the American video game industry crashed.
