Today’s Nintendo Direct gave Switch owners a lot of fun. In an even more exciting announcement, it was announced that KOEI TECMO will finally bring Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse to Western audiences in remastered form.
First released in 2008, the Wii was limited to Japan, but it will be available worldwide on multiple consoles, including the Nintendo Switch.
FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse takes place ten years after the mysterious disappearance of five girls during a festival on Rougetsu Island, an island in the south of Japan. All the girls were eventually rescued, but their memories were lost, leaving only a single melody and faint memories of a masked woman who seemed to dance in the moonlight. Even now, two out of five girls have died with no memory of the events surrounding their disappearance. The three remaining girls set out on a spooky island to unravel the mystery of their companion’s death while unraveling the mystery of their remaining memories.
Relying on the moonlight and faint flashlights, the girls search for clues while exploring Western-style buildings and abandoned hospitals on Rougetsu Island. The story progresses by discovering relics such as old newspaper articles and notes that help the girls unravel the island’s secret past. They must use Camera Obscura, a classic of the FATAL FRAME franchise, to fend off a vengeful ghost and take a picture to seal its power.
