    Rumor: Silly Title Central, Sega's Secret New Horror Game

    Those crafty folks at Sega are apparently testing the next-gen waters with a new survey that multiple readers have claimed to receive. This is unconfirmed, but the survey states that the game will be for either the PS3 or the Xbox 360. From the survey, here's the plot details:

    An open free-roaming action horror game where the player undertakes a terrorizing journey of suspense, fear, power, and discovery, And where every decision has multiple consequences... Uncover an ancient chest with unimaginable power that seduces you into evil, sin and corruption.

    Uh, okay. And this being a survey asks folks how much they like this concept. Me, I think it sounds like a Choose Your Own Adventure story I read when I was 8. But, the best part is not the description (oh, no), but the proposed titles. They are:

    • The Gift
    • The Box
    • Crucible
    • The Sacrament

    A game called The Box? I am so there. Not only that, reader Chris claims Sega goes on to provide definitions of what these titles mean! We haven't been able to confirm this (anyone else out in Kotaku-land?), but he tells us words are defined like this:

    • Crucible: "A severe trial or ordeal where people or things are subejcted to forces that test them and often make them change."

    • The Box: "A container meant to hold or protects objects of important significance or value."

    • The Gift: "Something that is given."

    Sega also asks which one of these titles best fits the game's description. So, we've decided to help out and are running a poll, doing our part to make The Box a reality.
