Necro-Nesia

Trek to an uninhabited island with your girlfriend and encounter unexpected creatures of the wretched sort. Instead of shuffling zombies however, large groups of insects appear from the darkness. When your girlfriend turns up missing, take hold of a flashlight ala Siren and enter a dark forest in a bid to reunite with her. When running around the wilderness, the flashlight casts a wide arc of light that illuminates a sizable area of the game world but leaves enough darkness to make things spooky. Along the way, learn the secrets of the island and savagely beat down hundreds upon hundreds of insect victims. With the Wiimote, sticks may be used as swinging weapons and stones may be picked up and thrown to do projectile damage. Over 20 makeshift weapons may be utilized in the game to attack the crowds of insects.
When battling cricket-like creatures, they'll blow out large amount of blood when struck and their ghastly long legs curl up when killed. Spiny caterpillars undulate towards the protagonist in a slow squirm of impending danger. The insects move realistically and skitter, hop, crawl, and scamper around the landscape to give squeamish players the heebie jeebies. Caterpillars attack by rolling themselves like logs at the player «more»
