I still have a little bit of the cola stain in my carpet left to prove it, the unintended result of a particularly demanding battle with three ghost kids playing an evil form of hide-and-seek. I spent more than a few boss battles actually getting off my couch to be able to spin and aim the GamePad 360 degrees around me for optimal results. Sure, you can see them on the TV, but you won't be able to see their weak points or even aim the Camera unless the GamePad is in front of your face, and this subconsciously adds to the tension. It works much like a regular camera would, with ZR acting as the shutter and the D-pad cycling through your lenses and film types, and ghosts appearing in the viewfinder.
Then the game leads you to a curiously open room or outdoor area, a couple of items on the ground, and just enough music to realize something is about to go down.Īdding to the intensity is the realization you directly hold the Camera Obscura in the form of your Wii U GamePad. Many of the game's most intense fights will be in the tight corridors of dilapidated inns and the murky mountain shrine. It's not about if an evil spirit is going to come after you, but when and where it will happen. It's true- Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water doesn't use all that many jump-scares, eschewing shocking-scary for creepy-scary. Of the few jump-scares Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water has in store, the dolls got me the most. And from that point, let the crazy ensue! Players are thrust into stories of suicide pacts, murderous dreams, spirits born from the dark waters of the mountain, deceased shrine maidens who possess the depressed and convince them to kill themselves, and creepy-ass dolls and dead kids. Yuri finds Hisoka's Camera Obscura and charm washed up on the banks of a river flowing near a mountain shrine. Hikari to see if she can find Haruka as well as what happened to Hisoka. (You may need a diagram to keep up with all the characters the game throws at you in the first few chapters.)Īgainst Hisoka's admonishment not to go after people who may have been “spirited away” to the other side, Yuri goes up to Mt.
Yuri's caretaker and mentor, Hisoka Kurasawa, goes missing while trying to locate Haruka Momose at the request of Fuyuhi Himino. Hikami, a location infamous for drawing in those contemplating suicide, and Miu Hinasaki, who shows up in the Prelude then promptly drops out of existence until the latter half of the game. The plot involves three interweaving storylines featuring Yuri Kozukata, a young girl with supernatural powers being trained in the art of “shadow reading,” Ren Hojo, an author researching Mt. But the move couldn't have been more perfect, as the Camera Obscura is literally in the player's hands. The choice to move to the Wii U concerned many, even though the fourth chapter, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, was released exclusively on the Wii in Japan. Maiden of Black Water is the first to see the light of day in the West since Fatal Frame III: The Tormented in 2005 and the first to appear on Western Nintendo consoles. The Fatal Frame series, which was introduced to North America in 2002 on the PlayStation 2, centers around devices known as Cameras Obscura, ancient cameras that can capture more than just a charming smile-the camera can focus on beings beyond the realm of the living, such as ghosts trapped on the mortal plane or long-hidden items pulled into the other side.
