[su_table responsive=”yes”]

This s a horror survival game in which players unravel the mystery of a cursed mountain.

Players use an old camera to capture ghostly images and to defeat attacking ghosts by taking pictures of them.

This game features scenes of graphic violence. A handful of ghosts are depicted with large bloodstains on their clothing and bodies.

The strongest of which occur during cutscenes. For example, a malevolent spirit influences a woman to cut her own throat with a knife, causing gory blood effects.

In another scene, a man attacks a group of women with a sword, cutting their chests, mouths, and necks and plunging his sword into their bodies.

There are some sequences that reveal the circumstances which were the reason behind the creation of the ghosts e.g. a man hanging himself, a woman impaled with a sword, a man run over by a car, a woman slashing her own throat, a character jumping to her death.

Some female characters are in revealing costumes with deep cleavage e.g., swimsuits, skin-tight outfits, wet clothing that appears slightly transparent.

Note: Maiden of Black Water Digital Deluxe Edition includes the main game and bonus content is also available for purchase. Please be careful to avoid making a redundant purchase.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Gameplay

Fatal 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. Characters navigate environments using an interactive map and can either walk or perform a sprint. During exploration, the characters are confronted by hostile ghosts that attack and damage them through touch. If a ghost grabs the character, they can either dodge or break free from their grip.

The only means of defense and attack for the characters is the Camera Obscura, an antique camera that is used from a first-person perspective. The camera is controlled using the Wii U Gamepad, with shots of varying proximity and angles affecting how much damage the ghost takes. The most damaging is a “fatal frame”, which hits a ghost’s weak spot. During combat, after a shot is taken, fragments of a ghost will appear around them.

Aside from the Camera Obscura, other factors are present in the play. The characters can glimpse pieces of a ghost’s past upon defeating them or when they launch a special attack. Characters can also concentrate on items in the environment related to missing people, generating a shade that leads them to the person’s location. A wetness meter tracks how damp the character gets when navigating environments.

The amount of wetness has positive and negative effects on the character: being wet increases the damage done by the Camera Obscura while increasing the number of ghosts present in an area and attacks causing more damage. In addition, characters can be inflicted with a status ailment from dark-colored ghosts or from a special attack: this ailment decreases vision and defense and deteriorates health. The ailment is only lifted by defeating all the enemies in the area or using an item to remove all wetness.

In addition to the three main characters’ story arcs, a special episode features Dead or Alive protagonist Ayane. Unlike the other characters, she does not have access to a Camera Obscura, so she must avoid ghosts. If she begins running or gets close to a ghost, they will attack. Ayane can use a special “script of hiding” to make herself temporarily invisible, and when she is caught, she can use a special item to throwback and stun them so she can escape.
