Abandoned Niigata theme park Russia Village to appear in Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 4

The official X account of the Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association series announced that the abandoned Niigata Prefecture theme park Russia Village will appear as a monitored location in the in-development game Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 4. The announcement was reported by gamespark.jp.

In Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 4, Russia Village will be a monitored target. The series is a spot-the-difference horror game by developer Loxarc set in real locations, where players monitor camera footage and report anomalies.

Russia Village opened in 1993 as a Russia-themed theme park in Niigata Prefecture. After closing in 2004, the site became ruins and has often been featured on TV programs and video streams as a haunted spot with remaining church and hotel buildings. The site is currently restricted from entry.

The previous game in the series, Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 3, featured Sugiya Ryokan, a location known as a haunted spot. On October 2, the series' official X account announced that Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 4 was in production. In August, a spin-off titled Taiwan Haunted Location Monitoring Association, set in an overseas location, was announced.

Japan Haunted Location Monitoring Association 4 has no announced release date or supported platforms.
