A letter from a dead mother, a mysterious phone call and a forgotten childhood lead Ellen, a young woman, and Keats, a journalist working for a paranormal magazine, to Doolin - a sleepy Irish village that hides a gateway to the Netherworld and the answers to a 17-year-old mystery.

You play as either of the lead characters as you venture into a series of seven outlandish realms, each packed with nightmarish creatures. Your goal is to speak with the dead, whose memories hold the key to unravelling the past.

The key to progressing in the game is to capture the various Folks - the nightmarish creatures that inhabit the Netherworld - harnessing and combining their powers to defeat strong enemies.

Folklore is a 2007 action role-playing video game developed by Game Republic and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. Set in Ireland and the Celtic Otherworld of Irish mythology, the game follows two protagonists: a young woman named Ellen and a journalist named Keats, who work together to unravel the mysteries of the quaint village of Doolin by seeking the memories of the dead in the Netherworld.
