''Folklore'', or '''''FolksSoul''''' in Japan (formerly ''Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realms'', ''Unknown Realms'') is a Video Game exclusively for the PlayStation 3 announced at E3 2006 which is told to be "The next generation of dark fantasy." The game is a real time action adventure game with RPG elements, in the same vein as Genji and Devil May Cry . The game stars a young blonde girl named Ellen, and a journalist named Keats. Together they must fight the monsters known as the "Folk" and weaken and capture their souls.


DEMO


A playable demo was first released on the Japanese PlayStation Network (PSN) on May 30th, 2007. The demo features the two playable characters Keats and Ellen, with the ability to chose from either of them. The demo includes a series of short comic-style cutscenes, exploration of a sea-side village and a trek through a series of playable areas where a player is introduced to the gameplay basics (i.e. fighting, how to acquire new IDs, etc.). This demo was all in Japanese aside from the lines in English that both protagonists would occasionally exclaim during combat.

An English language demo was released on the European PlayStation Network on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007; as a limited time offering, it was removed from the PlayStation Store on August 31st. This demo was released to the North American PSN on Thursday, August 23, 2007.
