The teaser website for Hudson’s upcoming horror title Calling has launched.
No rocket launchers, no chain saws, no suits of armor. Calling is a story that revolves around real people in their fight for survival. The game begins with the mysterious Black Page. Rumor has it that you will die if you visit the Black Page website and see “something” in the site. Anyone can visit the site, but only a few can actually see things within the site. The site is literary all in black and just shows a counter. Some say the site is a hoax, a prank, or a marketing ploy. A few people say the site is a bridge to something sinister and the counter indicates the number of people who have died after seeing the site.
Be sure to check kuroeight.com on a regular basis for updates on Calling.
