Character's
(メグ レインマン, Megu Reinman) Meg Rainman - The Game's protagonist and main character.
Reception
In a review submitted to "the ringworld", a fansite dedicated to Ring, contributors C. Gavlas and K. Gavlas called it "a crude, clumsy Resident Evil-style survival horror video game" and "a pretty depressing homage to Ring."[2] Those unfamiliar with Suzuki's works were equally unimpressed. The staff at IGN said "The lowest rung on the ladder of Dreamcast survival horror games, The Ring: Terror's Realm is just an average jaunt into the dark side",[3] while a contributor to the Planet Dreamcast website declared it "hands-down the worst thing I've ever experienced on the Dreamcast."[4] Greg Wilcox of GameTour.com described it as "one of those games that will make you wonder what sort of legal or illegal substances the developers were taking while they were making this one. The game is a combination of bad and weird, mostly leaning toward the bad". Wilcox also noted that one of the Ring films he'd seen was, in his opinion, "a hell of a lot scarier than what's here."[5]
