Siren
PlayStation 4 | PlayStation 5
Experience Siren, originally released on PS2, now enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Midnight. A siren calls and a sea of red water mysteriously surrounds the mountain village Hanuda.

There is no one hero. There is little hope.
