Night Cry on PC and PSV is an action-adventure game stylistically similar to Japanese horrors. The game was developed by Nude Maker studio. Many Japanese horror veterans helped in creating the game. The main designer was Hifumi Kouno who also designed first two installments of Clock Tower series. Masahiro Ito, who for many years worked on Silent Hill series, was the character designer – he created such legendary monsters like nightmare nurses and the Pyramid Head. Takashi Shimizu, the director of the Ju-on movie franchise, was part of the development team as well.
The story of the game takes place onboard a luxury enger ship. A series of brutal murders take place in the middle of the cruise through the ocean. Among the victims are crew . At some point there are no longer enough of them to continue the cruise and the ship becomes a prison for the engers who remain alive. The player assumes the role of one of the lucky survivors whose task with discovering who is the murdered. It is the only way to save himself and other innocent engers.
Night Cry is an action-adventure game in which the “adventure” is the dominant part. During the game player explores the ship, speaks with engers, gathers items and solves riddles. From time to time there are some action sequences, but these are not typical battle sequences – during most of them the player must hide from the murderer and, if detected, escape from him. Some riddles have a time limit and if the player doesn’t solve them quick enough, the character which he controls dies.

Game Ratings for NightCry Video Game.
PlayStation Universe: 2 / 10 by Eric Hauter
NightCry goes beyond the usual borders of broken games and into new nightmarish territory. I have frankly never played a game as rife with issues as this one. If ever there were a game that could be labelled "unplayable", NightCry is the game. Outside of not loading at all, I can't think of another way this game could fail. If NightCry were the last game on Earth, I would not play it. I mean that literally. It's that bad.
Digitally ed: 4.5 / 5
Your enjoyment of NightCry is going to depend a lot on your perspective, which is why I suspect this is going to be one of the most divisive horror games since Deadly Premonition. To judge NightCry at face value would be to grossly overlook all the work that Nude Maker has done to create an authentic Clock Tower-style, classic stalker horror experience for the modern day.

As much as I could criticise [NightCry] for its shortcomings, B-Movie dialogue and writing, alongside movement control issues and inconsistent puzzles… the game was quite enjoyable
