Japanese Voice Actors?
As far as I was aware both the Japanese and English versions containined English voice acting. One reference is this site: http://www.ntsc-uk.com/review.php?platform=ps2&game=Demento (last paragraph) I searched for these Japanese voice actors on wikipedia; one's a tennis player, one states she is a former model (it mentions Haunting Ground but with no references) and the rest I can find nothing on.

I'm inclined to say that the Japanese voice actors information is false. Unless anyone can provide evidence...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.152.86.61 (talk) 10:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

character section
the character section makes absolutely no sense. What's an "Azoth"? Why are peoples' deaths listed? How do any of these characters tie in to the story section listed above?

A properly-written wikipedia article about a video game should make sense even to people who have never played the game. Please fix this. Luvcraft 22:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Other editors have been tweaking, but I'm starting to rework the article a bit, in its current state it is pretty much useless to someone unfamiliar with the subject. What's particularly out-of-kilter is that the endings and deaths are listed and pored over, yet there wasn't even a gameplay section. Cart > Horse. That said, I'm no article writer, more of a tweaker, so I'll do my best and hope other contributors can help it along. QuagmireDog 10:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Try playing the game, and you too will be wondering about those. :P

Oh I have, thing is I'll have to set out to die since I ran rings around them ;) QuagmireDog 06:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Quick and dirty clean-up underway
I hate taking these things on cos I struggle to see them through >.<, but in the case of this article and Clock Tower 3 I'm going to be making exceptions. Here's what I'm doing, why I'm doing, or why I think it'd be a good idea for someone else to be doing.. stuff:

I'll start doing some of the smaller jobs. QuagmireDog 22:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Under the character deaths section: Most of the character deaths are speculation. That's the point of the deaths in this game. Whenever a character dies, the screen immediately cuts away and you hear a few seconds of noise that only IMPLY any actions. You don't know that Debilitas or Riccardo rape her, and you definitely don't know that Debilitas pops her head off. That entire section seems useless and filled with spoilers. --12.219.177.48 15:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Removed. Any such information needs sourcing to rule-out speculation, and in a completely unsourced article it just isn't warranted (and would need chopping and rewording even in the best case scenaerio (SP?)). QuagmireDog 02:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I personally found the "Controversy over character deaths" section really interesting while it was around. I think it should have stayed as long as it was mentioned these actions weren't seen but implied.Vash67 (talk) 04:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That they were implied is exactly the problem, what players (or a player) thinks they signify is original research. There may well be some material about Fiona's death sequences which could be brought to the reception section, but they should come from reliable sources (reviews).

"Designed to be a Clocktower game"
Does anybody have any idea where to verify that?

I've found umpteen sources saying that HG is like Clock Tower/Clock Tower 3, I've found a few sources saying that Clock Tower 3 staff were involved in the development of HG, but nothing explicitly stating that HG was Clock Tower 4/the next CT game. I've found a few message board postings refuting this statement, that's as close as I've gotten. I'll leave the statement for now but if nobody can come up with an idea I'll resculpt it to say that CT3 staff worked on it and reference it. Cheers. QuagmireDog 13:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

HG was actually supossed to be a clock tower game, but at the last minute was changed to be it's own game. -SilverRoseSweetie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.125.87 (talk) 23:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Stuff
Hi. Not quite sure where this can go, but it is an interesting analysis of Haunting Ground by Leigh Alexander, who "is the editor of Worlds in Motion and writes for Destructoid, Paste, [and] Gamasutra" which (as far as I know) makes her a reliable source.

"Game Studies"
Did anyone actually review the source linked in that supposed "game study"? The info in the wiki page sounds misleading
 * I did. Help me understand, in what way do you believe it is misleading? Here is a quote from the second source cited:
 * ""Fiona is an avatar both in and out of control, typifying the oscillating structure of the horror videogame as discussed by Tanya Krzywinska.18 A cyborgian merging or identification is most acutely felt throughout the more mundane exploratory portions of the game. During moments of conflict there is a separation of gamer and avatar where the player becomes aware of their position outside the text. In other instances Fiona becomes objectified, predominantly in non-participatory cut-scenes, where players’ distance from the protagonist is most acutely underlined.""
