The Wii U “classic” is back for more scares
Koei Tecmo’s last Fatal Frame game for consoles, Maiden of Black Water, is making a comeback. The game was originally tied to the Wii U, but now makes the jump to Switch (as revealed on Nintendo’s E3 2021 Direct), PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.
Utilizing a “Camera Obscura” the player musty battle spirits by taking photos of them. It’s sort of like Pokemon Snap but with far more lethal results. Fatal Frame (known as Project Zero in Japan) has mostly been an enjoyable horror series, though Maiden of Black Water didn’t quite have the best reception. Perhaps improved visuals, costumes, and general cleanup will do the (ghost) trick.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water arrives this year.
Here’s the info from Nintendo’s site:
——————–
Experience all of the horror from the original FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water with new remastered visuals, new costumes and photo mode features.
The main adventure consists of three interconnected stories which lead the player to uncover the horrifying truth behind a string of recent tragic deaths taking place in a forest with an infamous history.
Take on the role of one of three people with the power of the Camera Obscura and the ability to see the shadows of those spirited away. The story will take you on a frightening adventure through the ruins of an eerie inn, a shrine filled with life-size dolls, and a lake full of dead priestesses.
Each location is connected by a stream of water flowing throughout the mountain. This formerly holy water is tied to the most horrifying mystery of all – the history of death and darkness on Mt. Hikami.
