In this unusual survival horror adventure from Capcom, players take the role of a true damsel in distress -- and can't count on some handsome Prince Charming to come to the rescue.

In Haunting Ground you play as Fiona Belli, a young girl who has lost her memory. She awakens in a basement of a strange castle, and soon learns that a car accident has taken away the lives of her parents. She is told that the has inherited the castle she found herself in. However, the castle inhabitants are, for various reasons, not very happy to see Fiona as the new owner. Soon she realizes that she must fight for her life, and the only creature she can trust is a dog called Hewey, who will be her faithful companion on her perilous adventure.

As a frail young woman named Fiona, players find themselves imprisoned in a strange castle and pursued by a deformed, hulking, psychotic hunchback called Debilitas. Too small and weak to fight back against the ghastly monster, Fiona must use her speed and small size to flee and hide, and she must use her wits to solve puzzles and eventually, hopefully, somehow escape.

Fiona is not completely without help, however, and she will be wise to befriend the white-coated German Shepherd she finds trapped in the castle. If she can earn the dog's trust, his sensitive ears and powerful fangs may help her out of more than one desperate situation.

STORY:
Fiona Belli awakes in a cage in the butcher's room of a castle. She has just been involved in a car accident with her parents, but her memories of this accident are vague. Noting that the cage that keeps her prisoner was left unlocked, she steps out but is startled by a large, fierce animal snarling and then running past her. She quickly begins searching for answers and a way out of the castle. Along the way, she befriends the animal that initially frightened her, who is a white German Shepherd named Hewie, and who turns out to be a valuable ally.

Features:
- Explore over 130 interactive environments
- Survive by creating a strong bond between Fiona and Hewie
- Cut-scenes directed by Japanese director and actor, Naoto Takenaka
- Compelling storyline which is unveiled to the player as Fiona makes her own realisations about her past and future.
- Highly innovative representation of the character’s state of mind
- Ability to give Hewie orders such as stay, fetch and attack
