Fatal Frame, or as it is known in the UK Project Zero, Maiden of Black Water is coming to the Nintendo Switch, on October 28th.
But it is not the first Fatal Frame game that released. Prior to Maiden of Black Water, 6 other games in total were released for the series. So, with remasters and even remastered collections being popular and selling well, Famitsu brought up the idea of a remastered Fatal Frame collection to series producer Keisuke Kikuchi.
Kikuchi about the Fatal Frame series
No, first of all, we wanted to focus on having a large number of people playing Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, which is the latest entry in the series. This is because we’re very confident that this title will be accepted by those who are playing the Fatal Frame series for the very first time.
It’s been a long time since the original release of Maiden of Black Water in 2014, so I was honestly quite worried. However, I was happy to receive a warmer welcome than I had imagined. We received a strong reception from people in North America, Europe, and Asian regions that will be able to play this title for the first time. I feel that Japanese-style horror is once again being accepted overseas.
About Maiden of Black Water
Experience all of the horror from the original PROJECT ZERO: 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.
