Siren (Forbidden Siren in the PAL region for the first two PlayStation 2 games) is a survival horror stealth game series consisting of three installments developed by SIE Japan Studio and Project Siren, a development team within SIE Japan Studio, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
Siren is the first installment in the series and was released in November 2003 for the PlayStation 2.
The game is set in a remote Japanese mountain village named Hanuda (羽生蛇村 Hanyūda Mura?), which is described as being very traditional and particularly exclusive society. Following the interruption of a ritual in the forest near midnight and a subsequent earthquake, the village teeters between time and space, with an infinite sea of red water in place of the usual surrounding mountains. The crux of the story focuses on the efforts of Hisako Yao, the leader of a local religion, to resurrect or re-awaken a being known as Datatsushi through an occult ceremony. The siren of the title is the call of Datatsushi, summoning the residents of Hanuda to immerse themselves in the red water, thus creating an army of subordinates called shibito (屍人?, lit. "corpse people"). The shibito then go about building a nest to house the corporeal form of Datatsushi once it is summoned, as well as killing and converting any living humans left in Hanuda. The story is told through the perspectives of ten survivors, some of whom are natives of Hanuda, and is presented out of chronological order over the three days in which the mystery takes place.
