A video game of the '' Ju-On '' series was confirmed on May 22 , 2009 . Shortly afterwards , a demo of the game was unveiled at E3 2009 , where Xseed Games described it as a " haunted house simulator , " rather than a traditional survival horror game . The game does not feature any combat , as its format relies on subtle exploration and scare tactics . Joystiq reviewers who were present for the demo 's screening at the E3 justified this , observing that , " In most horror games , a skilled player can actually defeat the creatures ( with notable exceptions like '' Silent Hill 2 '' 's Pyramid Head ... ) , making the game more of a power fantasy than a true fright . In both of these games '' Silent Hill 2 '' and '' Ju-on : The Grudge '' , you can escape the creatures at best . " Xseed president Jun Iwasaki explained , " '' Ju-On : The Grudge '' makes quick scares accessible to anyone with a Wii , players can even hand the Wii Remote to their mother and enjoy watching her play and get scared . " Rising Star Games ' Yen Hau has also likened it to " as close as you can get to an interactive horror movie . " Xseed has attested that the game can be completed in " a little less than ten hours . " Developers allegedly paid a visit to the location where the Saeki residence scenes were filmed , so they could have a better idea of how to map the house for one of the game 's stages
