The makers of Killer 7 are porting one of their earlier titles to the DS and it’s looking very quirky and fun.
Creepy As Hell Site For The Playstation 2 Version
Players control Sumio Mondo, the “assassin”, to seek the people’s something on and on. Sumio uses a suitcase-shaped versatile instrument named “Katherine” to solve the mysteries about the people’s something. Sumio can crack any secret code by using Katherine with a “Dial” for inputting number and a plug compatible to any specifications around the world. Player will discover some hints from words of people and a tour guide book of Lospas Island and input right numbers to crack the codes and find the people’s something. Luxurious atmosphere of the southern island resort and the hotel, waves of unexpected mysteries, and witty but poisonous characters’ lines are characteristic. Wiki
Suda51 must think this is a great game that just needs the proper exposure and platform to succeed, thus they are porting it to the Nintendo DS.
The video below shows the game originally on the PS2 where it sold a tiny amount.
Incredibly cool premise:
Sumio Mondo is a man making a living as an assassin. He arrives on the resort island of Lospas and takes a room at the F.S.R. hotel after being tasked with detecting and defusing a time bomb, planted on a plane which is soon to leave the island’s only airport.
On the way to the airport however, Sumio encounteres other hotel guests and island residents requesting his help with various problems, including searching for missing items. While Sumio is distracted by them, the airplane with the bomb on board takes off and explodes, crashing into the island.
Next morning, however, Sumio awakens in his hotel room and discovers that something strange has happened. He has not even headed to the airport yet and the airplane explosion and crash have not happened yet, either. Sumio attempts to head to the airport to prevent the explosion. Again, however, other people who need his help appear, distracting him long enough to lead to a repeat of the previous days explosion, and Sumio once again awakens in his hotel room before any of the days events have taken place. As the same fateful day repeats itself over and over, Sumio finds his hotel room becomes more and more warped and twisted, reflecting the fact that he is slowly losing his mind from the repetition. Can he solve the islanders problems and prevent the explosion before he goes totally insane?
