Publisher Deep Silver has revealed the first details of Cursed Mountain, a survival horror game produced exclusively for the Nintendo Wii that is scheduled to be available in 2009.

Set in the late 1980s, gamers will take on the role of a fearless mountaineer as he climbs into the Himalayas on a quest to find his lost brother. As he ascends the mountain, he encounters an ancient curse: the souls of the people who died in that region are stuck in limbo, caught in the Shadow World. Villagers, pilgrims, mountaineers and Buddhist monks, dead but not yet reincarnated, are all that is left on the mountain.

Designed exclusively for Wii, Cursed Mountain features rich visuals and breathtaking views. Set on the roof of the world in the life threatening death zone, the entire game world is visible from every level. The gesture-based combat system takes full advantage of the Wii motion sensitivity. Players will use the Wii-mote to look around, sense the environment, climb and fight enemies.
