His disappearance depresses Alyssa, and she anxiously awaits his return. Three years before events of the game, Dick disappeared from the Hamilton Household and has not been seen since. He seems to dislike Nancy's choice of husband, and is cold hearted toward him. Dick Hamilton - Alyssa's grandfather, who took the task of raising her after her father died.He appears to have a crush on her, and is obsessed with staying as close to her as possible. Dennis appears unexpectedly at Alyssa's home near the start of the game. Dennis Owen - A boy that Alyssa knew in primary school three years prior to the game's events.The two are very close, but Nancy appears to be hiding something from Alyssa. Without knowing why, she was sent to a boarding school by her mother and told not to return for six years. Alyssa Hamilton - The game's protagonist.If the boss is transfixed with multiple powered-up shots, Alyssa performs a highly damaging attack with her next shot, killing or severely wounding the subordinate.

Whilst powering-up the shot, Alyssa must stand still and cannot adjust her aim, leaving her vulnerable to attacks and making it possible for her enemy to move out of her line of sight. These shots tether the subordinate to the ground.

In order to inflict considerable damage, shots must be powered-up. Alyssa must dodge or duck attacks whilst firing arrows at her attacker. The health of both Alyssa and the subordinate is measured by two life bars which appear on-screen. Each battle is confined to a single area, and the player must defeat the subordinate in order to progress. At this point, her holy water bottle transforms into a longbow, allowing her to fight back.

In order to pacify these spirits, an item of sentimental value must be found and returned to the spirit's corpse, which always lays near the area being haunted.Īfter each scenario, Alyssa must confront the subordinate who has been stalking her. Innocents slain by the subordinates haunt each stage and will attack Alyssa if she approaches them, sending her into panic. Progress through the game entails finding items to unlock new areas, fleeing and hiding from Subordinates (the boss characters) and eventually defeating each Subordinate in battle. Players assume the role of Alyssa Hamilton, a schoolgirl approaching her 15th birthday, on her quest to find her mother and save herself from Dark Man.
