Siren is a survival horror released by Sony for PS2 in 2004. A special edition of the game was supposed to be released on 7th October of the same year, but it was suddenly canceled, probably due to the first version’s poor sales.
The special edition would have featured:
- An easy mode
- An new hint system that could be consulted before playing a level
- An extra mode where a challenge was added in each level, such as playing with invisible or faster enemies, without the sight-jack, using only the first-person view, time trials which had to be completed without being seen, and so on.
- Complete profiles of all characters
- A making-of documentary
- An interview with the producer
- A video about the event that was added in the western release.
It seems that Toyama was having fun playing the game as himself . Of course, this polygonal model was not used in the final version. More interestingly, we can see a mysterious text that says “over seventy characters” in the screenshot. It is unlikely that there were going to be so many characters in the game, but we don’t have any official explanation about this writing.

You’re not wrong. I just… UGH i wish i could get my hands on the special edition material. Like, on disc or download. Siren has been my favorite game since 04-05. I literally purchased a PAL (U.K.) formatted “Forbidden Siren 2” from Ebay years ago. I still haven’t played siren 2, as i live in the U.S. where my home format is NTSC-U :( i’ve only watched most of it on youtube, just so i could feel like i’m a part of it lol. no PC, so cant even play a generic emulation of the second game. Siren is LIFE.
