Although not a horror game series at all, but Tomb Raider One day I also find myself passing through one of the most terrifying landmarks in the Pacific Ocean, which is Yamatai Island. Although only mentioned in real life history books and is a controversial topic of many Japanese and world historians about the exact geographical location, the place where Yamatai is located is still believed by Lara Croft to be located inside the Dragon Triangle – an area 100 kilometers south of Tokyo.

Although the events at Chernobyl took place more than 30 years ago, the legacy still leaves an indelible mark on many generations of people. The huge amount of radiation has so far affected the flora and fauna, bringing about the effects of genetic modification both internally and externally. Many reports say that the species here started. showed a much larger size when compared to other areas, partly due to radiation, partly because the influence of human life has almost disappeared.

Japan has always been the birthplace of scary stories, and “Himuro mansion” is known as the most terrifying name of the land of Cherry Blossoms. Inspired by many games, typically the series Fatal Framethe Himuro mansion is a combination of the most bizarre of ancient legends and the modern world.

According to legend, Himuro’s exact location was right in the mountains on the outskirts of Tokyo. The mansion is inhabited by the Himuro family with the infamous “strangulation” ritual that takes place every 50 years. The purpose of the ritual is to seal the “evil energy” into the earth, which through a gate located at the mansion enters the mortal realm.. To prevent this, the owner of the mansion will choose a young woman from at birth and in solitary confinement throughout adulthood in order to avoid any “binding” to the human world. At the appointed time, the legs, neck and arms of the young woman will be tied with ropes to the horse… just like the form of punishment of “five horses and corpses” that appeared in ancient Chinese movies. After the body was dismembered, ropes soaked in blood were spread in front of the gate… and according to the Himuro clan, would prevent evil spirits from entering the world.​

However, the ritual soon ran into trouble when the young girl had a romantic relationship with a man, thereby breaking the whole “not tied to the physical world” rule of the sacrifice. The owner of the mansion as soon as he heard about it, took up a sword to kill all the family and commit suicide, with fear of harming the scene that would happen when the ritual was not completed. From here, the ghost of the entire Himuro family with the obsession of the past massacre, still tries to perform the ritual again with any guests who accidentally get lost here.
