Playstation 2 has many horror games, and Kuon is a believed cult classic in a sea of legends. This is my blind playthrough of PS2's Kuon, starting with Yin Phase as Utsuki, we introduce ourselves to the characters and story of Kuon. With a strong horror atmosphere, the opening of this game is enough to make any survival horror fan excited.
In Part 1 Of Yang Walkthrough of Kuon (PS2): Sakuya is now the protagonist in the Yang playthrough. Sakuya, her brother, Dochin, and the rest of the arrive at the manor one month after Lord Fujiwara disappeared at the request of their master; Doman, Utsuki and Kureha's father. Once we enter the manor, Sakuya finds many doors locked away with magical seals. Her brother gives Sakuya a Mercury Sacred Cloth, and our search continues. After saving the game, the twin girls appear and show Sakuya a bloodied door they want her to enter. Doing so advances the game, as a cutscene will take place, and afterwards s sealed door will open, leading us to Manor: Main, and more of the area. It's a little room here filled with spiders at Manor: Main that Sakuya finds the Sacred Cloth Venus by a dead body. Now with Venus and Mercury Sacred Cloth on us, we can move on and find the Chinese Zodiac scroll in hahahaha for the Zodiac Puzzle we later ace.
Over in Manor: West, Sakuya finds Ayako, and similar to Utsuki, she runs into the closet. In search of the Ayako's bell, we find Pliars key item in West Guardhouse, used for the Spike at the Quarters, alongside Guardian Dog Statue 1. We also get the Crow Disk at Monor: Entry, and the Iron Wedge on a body that's spiked into the ground. Thus ending part 1 of Sakuya's walkthrough.
A lot what completed in part 1 of Sakuya's walkthrough, of couse, because most items and story beats play the same, making Sakuya's playthrough a little easier. I really enjoy this walkthrough, however, as the new story elements and Sakuya herself are interesting.
Kuon, by Fromsoftware is a Sony Playstation 2 (PS2) survival horror video game in which the player takes on the role of three characters—Utsuki, Sakuya, and Abe no Seimei—exploring the buildings and grounds of Fujiwara Manor. The characters are seen from an overhead third-person fixed perspective. The characters navigate the mansion during gameplay; the standard pace is a slow walk, with an option to run, but comes with a greater risk of attracting enemies. To progress the game, the characters explore the mansion to solve puzzles and find key items. Items are displayed in environments using flashing points of light. From the beginning of the game, certain doors within the mansion grounds are sealed, and require a particular item to open. These items can be restricted to particular characters.
During navigation, the characters are attacked by monsters, many of which are drawn by noise. The characters have access to different weapon types; Utsuki uses a knife, Sakuya uses a fan, and Abe no Seimei, a naginata. There is no lock-on, meaning characters must be aligned manually before attacking an enemy. The characters can also find a limited number of spell cards during exploration, which can be used in combat. There are two types of cards; projectiles that trigger an immediate attack, and summoning papers that create an allied creature for a limited time that attacks enemies.
Navigation is impeded by areas of negative energy, both occurring naturally and when enemies appear. The characters can be afflicted with vertigo when low on health, or struck by dark energy; when struck by the energy when running, the character is momentarily stunned. The character can recover by standing still and using meditation to restore health and remove the vertigo effect. The player can also use healing items found around the manor to restore health.
Kuon (PS2) takes place in and around Fujiwara Manor, an estate in Kyoto, Japan during the Heian period. Central to the plot are two magical Mulberry trees planted near the present Fujiwara Manor by the Hata clan. The trees birth silkworms which weave cocoons around the dead and resurrect them. The resurrection can only be sustained by merging with other living beings, including humans, and absorbing their grudge. The ultimate goal of the Mulberries is to perform the merging nine times, completing the Kuon Ritual and birthing a being which will become a new Mulberry.
This Kuon walkthrough was recorded on PCSX2 emulator ISO at 1440p, so the graphics look beautiful and sharp. My playthrough didn't run into any problems. Though during gameplay, a few funny moments happen due to the widescreen hack on the emulator, but gameplay of Kuon is just perfect.
I love horror games, and the Sony PS2 is my favourite. Enjoy my full playthrough and commentary!
