Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame / Project Zero series, it released in September 2014 in Japan and is set for a North American release on October 22, 2015, and in Europe October 30, 2015. However, North America will be getting a digital-only release and Europe will have a limited physical copy release along with a digital release. For horror and Fatal Frame fans and collectors this is tragic news.
Players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts that must be exorcised by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.
Until the game is released, here is a trailer from Nintendo UK to tide you over until release.
It’s only natural to add some fanservice to dull the pain of roaming the long dark village that makes the world of Fatal Frame. But, hey, if we’re gonna fight ghosts, we’re gonna look sexy doing it.
