Take control of Ellen, a young girl looking to learn about her past, and Keats, a journalist for an occult magazine looking for the next big story, as they travel to the small village of Doolin to explore the mysteries held within.  Alternating between both characters, you will get to travel through the Netherworld, the world of the dead.  Throughout the game, you will find and defeat powerful creatures called 'Folks' and be able to absorb and utilize their powers and abilities.

Sweet! I went on a hunt for this one a while back, and it took a bit to find. I never got very far into though, so now I have a reason.

Glad you're joining us Pam. Seems that you have a choice between two characters in the game. Maybe Will would be interested in the opposite experience??

You have to play through with both characters in order to complete the game.  At certain points, the game won't let you progress with one character until you've reached the same point with the other character.

But I started the game a couple of days ago and am really enjoying it so far.  It feels very unique, and the art style is beautiful.  So far, it definitely feels like a hidden gem for the PS3.

I just played Ellen's prologue and all I can say is...WOW.

I'm really looking forward to getting into depth with you guys on this one.

Folklore isn't really my type of game. My ADD won't allow me to play open world games like this. I'll be in a corner playing my Shmups.

[singlebanana]

Understood.

[techwizard]

i'm not sure if i'll find time to join you guys but i picked up this game a few months ago and it looked really amazing! i don't know how i had never heard of it before.

[singlebanana]

Get on board Jamie.

[Fleach]

This is going to be great! Folklore looks like an interesting game, and by that I mean that I have no idea what this game is like. I only know about it's reputation of being an overlooked hidden gem.

Looking forward to playing this with you guys.

Cool douglie!  Glad to have you along.

Started playing yesterday and even though I only finished both Prologue chapters I think I'm going to really like this game. The look, the theme, all so good!

I should mention that this isn't an open world game. It is indeed very linear with the exception of a few path choices.

[Fleach]

Rich is right. Things are pretty linear but you have play as both characters to get the full story. It's worth playing. Just try it out and see how you go.
