Cursed Mountain – The World of the Himalayas

Cursed Mountain is an upcoming survival horror adventure video game for Wii developed by Sproing Interactive in collaboration with and published by Deep Silver Vienna. It is scheduled to be released in 2009. The game focuses on a mountaineer searching for his lost brother in the Himalayas.

Combat primarily consists of encounters with people who have died climbing the mountain and whose souls are suspended in Bardo. The player must make gestures with the Wii Remote to free their souls. The game will also make use of other features of the Wii Remote, such as its built-in speaker. The developers have announced plans to incorporate Wii MotionPlus into the control scheme.

Cursed Mountain is set in the late 1980s, due to the lack of technology available in the time period. The protagonist, Eric Simmons, is searching for his brother, who climbed Chomolonzo, a fictional mountain in the Himalayas, without first making the ritual offering. The storyline of the game is heavily influenced by Buddhism and Tibetan folklore.
