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 this episode of Yang Walkthrough of Kuon (PS2): Sakuya, now at the Temple, explores nearby and finds some diaries regarding Miyoshimaru and Lady Fujiwara. Lady Fujiwara, revealed to have been infected, hid in the Temple in order to not become a danger to her beloved children and other Fujiwara Manor residents. Learning this, Sakuya uses the disks and the spikes to open the Shrine Entrance, a cave tunnel leading to the Temple. Sakuya and Dochin both head to the Temple and explore for details on the now missing Lady Fujiwara. Leaving Temple: North, Sakuya finds the twins running around, leading her to different rooms. We soon find more notes about Miyoshimaru and Lady Fujiwara, as well as gaki and finally a priest, Nyoei. Elder Priest of the Temple. Nyoei tells Sakuya to leave the Temple as he decides to stay, to pray for the infected members of Fujiwara Manor. After leaving Nyoei, the twins reappear, leading Sakuya to the Temple: Main room, and opening the path down stairs. In this playthrough there is no Sacred Mars Cloth, instead finding the Yellow Cloth Scrap, assumed remains of the Sacred Mars Cloth, and new weapon; Sapphire Fan, an ice dealing weapon. A dead end, Sakuya returns to Temple: Main, only to find Dochin appear, scared, and suddenly attacked by a transformed monster of whom was once Lady Fujiwara. Given chase to try and save Dochin, Sakuya fights Lady Fujiwara in a boss fight, defeating her. But Dochin is found to have been killed. On Dochin's body, the Sacred Cloth: Saturn is found. Now we can use Sacred Cloth: Saturn to open all the Saturn doors. Enjoy the gameplay.
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!
