Instead of that, a teenager is forced to play games with an evil spirit named Kakuya who has kidnapped his little sister. Each game involves uncovering the mystery of some urban legends just like in Spirit Hunter Death Mark. The differences I've notices is that the locations in this game are much smaller making the game a bit lighter on exploration. Also, there's no option to choose what location to go to. None of these are issues, it just makes for a noticeably more limited experience compared to the original. The writing is good. Every character is likeable and a bit offbeat in interesting ways. All the ghost stories are creepy and disturbing. The game has a "Scary Mode" which just leads to some ghost jump scares. It's kinda weak. Only a couple worked on me. The issue I have with this game is the same issue I have with the first game. There are some puzzles I found to be too unclear for me to figure out. I had to use a walkthrough to get through this game. Even getting the answers doesn't make it clear how I was supposed to get to them from the clues I was given. It's frustrating. Other than that, it's a good horror story that kept me hooked.
