Our take on Araha : Curse of Yieun Island
The presentation stresses the cursed-island premise and ghost threats, while the playable structure also rests on tools, puzzles, and repeated runs with changing placements. That combination makes the game less like a purely scripted haunted-house tour than its horror framing alone might suggest.
What is Araha : Curse of Yieun Island?
Araha: Curse of Yieun Island is a survival horror game set on a cursed island linked to Korean shamanism.
The player controls a boy searching for his sister and begins in an abandoned hospital before reaching locations such as a shaman’s sanctum and a mountainside cemetery. Exploration uses a flashlight, tools, and environmental puzzles, while ghosts with different characteristics pursue the player. Encounters can involve fleeing or reaching a safe place. Item positions and ghost movements change between runs, making routes and threats less predictable. A shaman guides the investigation into the island’s mysteries, which include reports of disappearances and deaths. The game centers on finding the sister’s remains while surviving with limited equipment across several island areas.
