We’ve seen horror video games take place in the arctic (The Thing), creepy rural villages (Fatal Frame 2, Silent Hill and Siren), haunted houses (Fatal Frame) and high schools (Obscure), but now there’s a new setting - the Himalayas. Deep Silver has announced that it is working on Cursed Mountain for the Wii, a survival horror title which takes place in the Himalayan mountain system and should be released in 2009.

In Cursed Mountain, players are a mountaineer who is searching for his lost brother in the Himalayas. Unfortunately, there is an ancient curse on the range - every person who has ever died in the Himalayas is still there. So the mountaineer is assaulted by demons, ghosts and zombies as he searches to find his brother, who might even be one of them.

Cursed Mountain could prove interesting, but I’m not sure how scary it will be. One of the things that always freaked me out the most about Silent Hill and Fatal Frame were that the locations were so familiar. I’m sure Cursed Mountain will feature scary creatures, but there’ll be a sense of disconnect since they’re in a location most people will never visit.
