Every playable character in the game will have their own “Camera Obscura” that is capable of not only taking pictures of various ghastly ghosts, malicious spirits, and lingering souls but also bringing vanished items back to reality from time to time. The key element that sets Fatal Frame apart from every other horror game is the camera based combat system and that remains as core of an aspect in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water as ever. This leads to a storyline that, while unique enough in its own right as stories like this are rarely seen in Western horror, doesn’t live up to its potential despite offering plenty of tension and more than a few scares through most of the game. To make matters worse, the line delivery of the characters is flat out terrible with nearly every dramatic scene featuring the most wooden acting imaginable.

The writing of the storylines themselves are not only fairly predictable partway through the game but the storylines themselves aren’t entirely special, especially in regards to the Fatal Frame series as a whole. Whereas the setting and surrounding story are fleshed out through collectible text that players can uncover, as well as through “Fatal Glances” from certain defeated ghosts that can be missed entirely and there are a couple of different endings for each character, the problem with Maiden of Black Water is two-fold.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water finds itself in a rather odd place where the concept of a haunted suicide mountain is makes for an interesting premise, especially one that involves eliminating ghosts with a special camera, and has an interesting enough reason for the cast of characters to risk their lives, but still falls rather flat in the end. Hikami’s horrific past in some form and it is up to the player to help uncover why exactly they are drawn to this place and possibly save their lives in the process. Each of their stories are intertwined as they find themselves drawn to Mt. The three playable characters this time around are Yuri Kozukata, Miu Hinasaki and Ren Hojo, with Yuri being the default main character and the other two’s storylines revolving around her. The mountain was once host to a sect of famous shrine maidens but has since become an accursed place that draws in those who wish to take their own lives and even force those who venture into the mountain to meet their end should they try and resist. Hikami, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water focuses on the journey of three characters who must uncover the mysteries that surround the mountain which is obviously based around Japan’s infamous Aokigahara forest. So now that this previous Wii U exclusive is available on multiple platforms, is this horror game worth revisiting? Storyīased around the fictional setting of Mt.
With so few horror fans actually having a chance to see what Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water had to offer, Koei Tecmo is celebrating the series’ twentieth anniversary with an enhanced release of the game on the current generation of consoles. Of the many classic video game horror series, Fatal Frame has been the quietest in recent years with its most recent entry arriving seven years ago on a platform that ultimately didn’t pan out too well and the one before that never even seeing Western shores. Platforms: Xbox Series X (Reviewed), Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch
