SYNOPSIS
Fiona Belli has somehow found herself in a strange castle, which appears to be somewhere in Italy or maybe Germany, due to the presence of the Bisque Doll that is mainly from Germany and when the maid cooks the spaghetti noodles, mostly cooked in Italy.. She has just been involved in a car accident with her parents, but her memories of this accident are vague. When she awakens, she finds herself in some sort of large butcher's room. Realising that the cage that keeps her confined is left unlocked, she steps out but is startled by a large, fierce animal snarling and then running past her. She quickly begins searching for some answers and a way out of the castle. Along the way, she befriends the animal that initially frightened her, who is a white German Shepherd named Hewie, and who turns out to be a valuable ally. As Fiona continues exploring the castle, learns that she is the carrier of Azoth, something that the castle's residents are after.
The first enemy is Debilitas, a large, mentally disabled man. Debilitas chases Fiona around the castle and is stopped by Riccardo. Fiona meets Riccardo and Daniella and finds letters and memos given to her by a man named Lorenzo who wants her to escape the castle. Fiona and Hewie are chased by Debilitas to the chapel. The way in which the player ultimately eliminates Debilitas influences the outcome of the endings. If Debilitas is killed, ending A will not be able to be obtained. If the chandelier is dropped on him, then anding A can be obtained.
After Debilitas is rid of, a new enemy is introduced. She is the castle's maid, Daniella. Daniella is jealous due to the fact that Fiona can smell, taste, touch or "experience pleasure". This foreshadows her later intimation, immediately before her boss battle, that she cannot engage in sexual intercourse. Daniella wields a large shard of broken glass which she gets from banging her head on the window. If players talk to her when she is kneeling at the fire place, she will use a hot poker instead, having much more damage.
After Daniella dies by being impaled to the ground by the big shard of glass, which broke from the ceiling due to her high pitched scream, Fiona and Hewie continues to find a way out and another villain is introduced. The new villain is Riccardo, he covers his face most of the time and wields a very old classic pistol. He reveals his face when Fiona is cornered in the forest and he is actually having the same face and Fiona's father, Ugo. He explains that they are clones and that he is now the original with Ugo dead. He wants to use Fiona to birth clones of himself to be immortal. If players do not have a good friendship with Hewie, he will not come for Fiona and the ending D is obtained.
The final boss is Lorenzo, a crippled old man at first but then he is more than meets the eyes. He can crawl and super speed. He also has different forms. He will be killed by making him fall in a pit of lava but..... To find out the secret, play Haunting Ground and enjoy it!

Rating for the game:
Chris: 5/5
Fitri: 4/5
Opinions for the game:
Chris: It is much much better than Clock tower 3. The game has much more challenge and the panic mode provides an even more scarier feeling. I suggest this game to adventurous and puzzle loving players! Also, instead of sprinkling holy water to the enemies, players can toss Antimony to ZAPP the enemies and this shocks them for a while for the player to escape.
Khai: This game is okay.... But it's more like playing Hide and Seek rather than fighting the pursuer. I suggest this game to brave players.
Fitri: This game is like an improved version of the Clock Tower 3. It's good to know that the protagonist is now able to kick the enemies and also, throw electrical items. I suggest this game to those who loves to play Clock Tower 3.
