Released on the Wii in 2008 and previously limited to the Japanese market, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is coming to the West in remastered glory on both last-gen and current-gen consoles. The game follows amnesiac protagonist Ruka Minazuki in her journey to the fictional Rougetsu Island in search of two missing girls with connections to Rika’s traumatic past.
The game’s unique combat system makes use of a “Camera Obscura” that deals damage to particularly camera-shy enemies by taking pictures of them. Players can also use a “Spirit Torch” in the same fashion, and deal increased amounts of damage by striking exactly when the enemy attacks. A Photo Mode (which unfortunately does not make use of the Camera Obscura) is also present, with special filter and frame options.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse crawls out on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on March 9, 2023.
