Controversy over the truth:
The game is supposedly based on true stories and legends surrounding the Himura Mansion. The mansion is believed to be gruesome death site of a family and some other associates a few decades ago. According to the series producer, Makoto Shiba, the game is based on ghost stories and urban legends and not the Himura family murder which brings to the question of the factuality of being based on a true story. His inspiration for the game’s haunted mansion is based on a mansion in an area outside Tokyo. It believed to be haunted and there were people grisly murdered and found within the mansion. It also have underground passageways that nobody know what purpose it serves. Spirits have been sighted in the mansion even on board daylight.
