Capcom's Overlooked Survival Horror Title | Haunting Ground

Haunting Ground is an overlooked PS2 survival horror title that's well worth seeking out.

Released in the spring of 2005 shortly after Resident Evil 4 on the PlayStation 2, Haunting Ground (or Demento as it's known in Japan) sold poorly, but gained a fanbase over the years and has become a bit of a collector's item.

Pulling heavy influence from the Clock Tower and Resident Evil series, Haunting Ground has one of the best implementations of a pursuer system in a survival horror title. One pursuer is among the very best I've come across. Haunting Ground also has my favorite iteration of a dog companion, Hewie, in any game with some wonderful AI that leads to a great bonding system with Hewie and Fiona.

The use of body horror and voyeurism in Haunting Ground creates an unsettling experience where it leaves a lot of blanks for the player to fill in themselves.

Haunting Ground is very much worth a play if you're a fan of survival horror. While I'm not a huge fan of the constant remasters we get these days, Haunting Ground would be a perfect candidate for one due to its limited availability. Its limited availability has led to high prices for physical copies of Haunting Ground.
