So glad to see Kuro is available again! This game is very unique, there should be more Japanese-style horror RPGs! Packed full of plot hooks, ideas, and references (see if you can spot the Ghostbusters homage), this book is very enjoyable to read through. Some of it tends toward Japanese mythology more than modern Japanese horror, but that can be easily swapped out with more unknowable entities like the strange little boy from The Grudge. Other than the tech available to characters, the cyberpunk themes are more in the background, and can be used as little or as much as the GM sees fit.

The system gets out of the way and allows you to get right to the action. It is also somewhat refreshing to have a horror game without a sanity system!

All in all, Kuro has one of the best and most original settings I have ever read, and it is a joy to read.
