Radiobuzz: Many japanese gore fans can't believe that Phantasmagoria 2 is an american game, and even less, created by a woman. What do you have to say to them?

Lorelei: Really? That's funny, I hadn't heard that. I love J-horror. I owned DVDs of the Ringu series and Ju-On before anybody in this country ever heard of them. I guess it is kind of rare to have an American story-driven game that has so much sex and violence. There's a strange cultural phenomenon in this country that causes people to freak out over sex in games. Look how upset people got over the "hot coffee" scenes in the latest Grand Theft Auto game. They were so upset over the idea that young people might imitate what they saw in the sex scenes. Personally, I'd be a little more concerned about my kids imitating some of the other scenes in that game, like stealing cars, shooting cops, and beating prostitutes to death. I find it interesting that some Japanese gore fans would find it hard to believe a woman wrote a story like this. So many of the traditional Japanese demons are female. You have to look out for us grrrlz, we're scarier than you think!
