Check it out here and here.

It's called Saddness. It is a gothic horror set before World War I. And it's entirely in black and white.

From the bottom of this page:

[quote="Quote:"]The first thing you must know about Nintendo Revolution-destined project Sadness is this: most of the project is absolutely confidential at this time – there isn’t even any publicly released concept art at this point. In fact, just about all I can tell you is that it will be a gothic horror game that aims to scare not by guts and gore, but by atmosphere. Conventional weapons (i.e. guns, knives) do not play much of a role here, with players having to scrabble around protecting yourself with whatever litters the ground – yep, you’re going to have to be finding sticks and stones to break your enemies’ bones, and names will definitely not be hurting them if what NIBRIS have said is anything to go by! Despite the lack of information outside of their studios, NIBRIS have kindly listed off some examples of the Revolution’s controller uses in the game, including swinging the controller to wave torches to scare off rats, slitting throats with pieces of glass by swiping the Revmote viciously and climbing walls by swinging rope onto them and hooking on by physically moving the controller as if it was a lasso (and not so physically releasing it – don’t go throwing it out of your window). NIBRIS have said to expect a single player game for adult players with strong nerves who fancy their chances at playing through a game with strong themes of paranoid schizophrenia, narcolepsy (a disorder that causes sufferers to uncontrollably fall asleep, often at inappropriate times, for those who don’t know) and nyctophobia (and that’s the fear of darkness and the night). NIBRIS have also made clear: “The scenario will surprise you.â€

That's a really original idea That i don't think has been tried before. Redead Revolver for PS2 was a lil like this in the fact that they tried to make the game look as if it took place during the wild west era... but this seems like it will be very interesting and stylized. I CANT WAIT!

Like MSP, I can't say that I'm mucha fan of horror games... mebbe ill go over ot his house and bring some flashlights for safety XD.

"It will be a game for adult players only (strong nerves are a must) and will feature themes of paranoid schizophrenia, narcolepsy (a disorder that causes sufferers to uncontrollably fall asleep) and nyctophobia (the fear of darkness and the night)."

Wow... that sounds pretty creepy actually :/ Using such abnormal psychological disorders and such (except for narcolepsy).

Oh, and BTW with the title appearing to be a Beverly Hills Ninja allusion (although censored), it would be spelled "horii kurappu" in roomanji ;)

Pretty interesting. At least we're finally getting some info on Revo games.

I remain a PS3 fanboy, but still... *salivates*

It's one shot, but... If I have a good enough job, I'm going dual system if this stays interesting as it's developed... Man... This could be it... The one revo game to change my mind... Could be... For now, we only have one screenshot and a basic concept. Still... This just calls out to me...
