Unlike previous entries in the series, we play as three separate characters all looking for answers, connected by a mountain known for claiming the lives of the suicidal. After exactly ten years without a new title in the West (other than the 3DS spin-off, Spirit Camera) I am so, so very happy to say that the new title, Maiden of Blackwater, is almost perfect. I played Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly even before Silent Hill or Resident Evil, and while I don’t play the franchise as often, it’s always been the one that scared me the most. The original trilogy on PlayStation 2 and Xbox was one of the franchises that shaped the way I feel about horror and the sorts of games I play. It’s so wonderful to be able to talk about a new Fatal Frame being a Western fan.
