Our take on FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse

Instead of relying on conventional weapons, the game makes photography central to both combat and exploration: the camera damages ghosts and reveals keys. This ties supernatural encounters to the investigation of the island’s history.

What is FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse?

This survival horror game follows young women returning to Rogetsu Isle, where they disappeared as children during a festival and were later found with no memories.

Players explore locations such as Western-style mansions and abandoned hospitals, using a flashlight to navigate and interacting with objects and places to advance the story. The Camera Obscura serves both as a weapon and an investigative tool: photographing ghosts damages them, while the camera’s special ability reveals keys that open new areas. Newspaper articles and notes expose secrets tied to the island and the protagonists’ past. This remaster updates graphics, character models, and in-game movies. It also adds Snap Mode, where characters and ghosts can be posed for photographs, and includes additional costumes.
