Like a normal camera, it also requires film, several grades of which are available and that can be found scattered around the environment. When actively using the Camera Obscura, the game shifts to a first-person view. The player's only weapon and primary tool is the Camera Obscura, an antique camera that has the ability to defeat ghosts and reveal clues hidden in the environment. As the player moves through the environment, the game's fixed camera angles will shift, obscuring what lies around corners. Gameplayįatal Frame is a survival horror title in the vein of the earlier entries in the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. In North America, the game was billed as being based on a true story, though no such claim was used in its Japanese marketing. Fatal Frame set the tone of the games to follow, casting the player in the role of a character in a haunted environment with a special camera as their only defense against angry spirits. It was released on Decemin Japan and later on Main North America to positive reviews and has since spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs. With so many other horror games like Resident Evil 4 getting so much better at movement, it feels like this game is getting left behind.Fatal Frame is a survival horror game from Tecmo set in Japan in 1986. This is fine for lumbering about the game, but not so much when you’re trying to escape a ghost or grab a photo of a wiggly one. While the fixed camera angle does fairly well at avoiding getting stuck, but the character runs very slowly and isn’t very responsive to turning. Poor controls seem to be a part of the industry, but it’s a shame that Fatal Frame 3 doesn’t make any effort to improve on this. You’ll need fast reflexes to get photos of some of these ghosts, allowing an element of skill to enter into the game. This gives you a reason to snap pictures of every ghost you see, even if they’re not necessarily related to the game. Taking a picture “exorcises” the ghost, and it’s possible to make the camera more efficient through upgrading it. One exciting feature of the game is the camera you will use to take pictures of the ghosts with. This also helps make the plot of Rei slipping back and forth between the dream world and the real world a bit more realistic. This takes an otherwise repetitive puzzle adventure with your average tile sliders, and makes it a little bit more unique and interesting. Two-World SystemĪn interesting new concept in the game requires you to move forward in both the dream world and the real world before you can advance in the game. You’ll need to use a mix of different characters to help you get through the game. Kei on the other hand, is larger and can move objects the other characters can’t.
As an example, Miku who is smaller than the other characters, can access locations they can’t. These characters offer different benefits. While Rei is the main character in this story, you can also play Miku Hinasaki (a character from past Fatal Frame games) and Kei Amakura, the uncle of Rei’s departed boyfriend. 3 Controllable Charactersįatal Frame 3: The Tormented allows you to control 3 different characters, all of whom offer something valuable to the game. When she comes back to reality, she’s forever changed-and the game itself begins. The shock sends her into a dreamlike state where she finds herself surrounded by ghost people. This shock becomes an even bigger one when she comes face to face with her now ghost boyfriend in a haunted house she is photographing. The game also has a second title Fatal Frame III: The Tormented. In this story, Rei Kurosawa is recovering from the unexpexted loss of her boyfriend, who died in a car crash while she was driving. Horror fans will want to take a look at Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented: A classic haunted house style horror game featuring Rei Kurosawa.
