Love this deep dive and explaining the actual game vs the insanity that blew up before it was really even shipped out. It's such a wonderfully done game too (minus the combat, oh my god) - and when I was younger I was so blessed to have a copy.

It's also wild to me that the Silent Hill games didn't get more negative press as well, or Fatal Frame. For any reason. The news is so quick to illicit panic over horror games, especially when they have even a single iota of real life trauma or issues shown

Wow, I'd never heard of this game before! Thanks for doing a deep dive around it, that was so fascinating. It always freaks me out a little seeing the repetitive telltale signs of moral panics flaring up across different points in history.
