Echo Night 2: Nemuri no Shihaisha[lower-alpha 1] is a 1999 survival horror first-person adventure video game developed and published by FromSoftware for the PlayStation.[1] It is the second game in the Echo Night series. While it shares common elements with Echo Night, Echo Night 2 takes place in its own timeline. A fan translation was released in 2015, translating its title as Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares.[2]
Story
The game is set in an old Gothic manor house.[3]
Gameplay
Like the first game, Echo Night 2 is played from a first-person perspective. However, unlike most other first-person games, there is no use of firearms in the game. When confronted by a ghost, the player must turn on the lights in the room by means of a light switch. The player is often transported into the past via the passengers or certain objects. Once the player fulfills a task important to a spirit, they will vanish and drop an "Astral Piece" which can be used to get a different ending scene.
Release
The game was released for the Sony PlayStation on August 5, 1999, and published by FromSoftware.[1] It was released only in Japan.[4]
In 2007, it was re-released for the PlayStation Network in Japan.[5]
In 2015, an English language fan translation was released.[6]
Reception
Japanese gaming publication Famitsu gave it a score of 32 out of 40.[1]
