Comedies may be hogging the PC news this week, but terror belongs to the Nintendo Wii, as Hudson has recently released a new horror adventure, Calling.

Based on classic Japanese horrors, Calling follows the stories of four different people lured by a mysterious "Black Page" into the "Mnemonic Abyss" in which they become trapped. Although not part of our world, the experience is partially rooted in reality as "memories of houses, schools, hospitals and more bring players closer to either an escape or an untimely death."

As seen in the launch trailer, Calling makes creative use of the Wii Remote to simulate such equipment as flashlights and phones. Along with these motion-controlled actions, players will "solve puzzles, search and interact with objects, and ultimately try to escape this alternate existence."

Calling is available in stores now, retailing for a cost of $39.99. For more information about the game, be sure to check out the official website.
