Characters navigate environments using an interactive map, and can either walk or perform a sprint. An attacking ghost is repelled using the Camera, which registers the hit as a "Fatal Frame".įatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water puts the player in control of three different characters traversing a number of environments across Hikami Mountain from a third-person perspective, including ruined buildings and dark forests.

Series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi proposed the project when he saw that the Wii U GamePad could be used as the Camera Obscura.

Planning for the game began in 2011, during production of the Wii remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. 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 the Black Water, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ose Kurosawa. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. A remaster for eighth and ninth generation consoles and Windows, this time published by Koei Tecmo, was released worldwide in October 2021.Īs with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U Gamepad.

The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was originally published by Nintendo for the Wii U in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. But it totally doesn't fit the original ending at all.that song is a classic and it totally brought the game together for me.not putting it in just feels wrong to me.but what makes it even more bizarre.I just rewatched the WII version of the original ending and for some really strange reason the beginning of Chou actually starts playing, then Kurenai kicks in and the beginning beats of Chou keep playing until Kurenai takes over.so strange.Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo. I think it's a good song and it suits some of the other endings like the Promise ending.

Then there is the change in song which is Kurenai instead of Chou (the original song that's on the ps2 and Xbox versions). It was a unfortunate carry over from FF4, it didn't work in that game and it definitely doesn't work in this one either. I really wanted to play the xbox version for that particular mode but unfortunately have never been able to get my hands on it cause it's really hard to get.Īlso I there are little changes to the Wii version that let it down, such as the weird mini game every time you pick up a item, which may or may not end with a jump scare of a hand trying to grab you. It has better graphics, improved sound design, new costumes (including a Bikini costume.strange!), a new alternate ending (The Promise ending) and a first person camera mode. The xbox version was released under the title: Directors cut. There is a lot of differences between the PS2 and Xbox versions that make the XBOX one the better of the two. I've unfortunately only played the PS2 version, but I love it all the same.
