Fatal Frame (2001)
Genres:Adventure
Themes:Horror, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:Fatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Show more

One of the best horror series of all time. Releasing the entire PS2 trilogy would be a dream come true. These games are stuck on old dying hardware but the forth and fifth entry are available on PC. This would be the perfect oportunity to bring the whole series to a modern platform and preserving it forever.
I never screamed as I scream with this one! The story, the spooky encounters, the camera... pure survival and pure horror! I would love to see the three original PS2 games ported to PC. I played them, and still in my collection, but it will be great for the younguest generations to live this experience.
It is genuinely tragic that the PS2-era Fatal Frame games have not been re-released/re-mastered. These games are extremely worthy of preservation. They shouldn't be forgotten. The first Fatal Frame sticks with me personally as one of the first horror games to get me interested in the genre. Please bring it to PC and preserve it!
Only got into the series about 2 years ago, but im absolutely in love. Playing on an emulator with bugs and glitches just doesn't compare to owning something properly. The PS2 games are stuck on there and being sold for over 100 online, which isn't fair and doesn't preserve them. The only other (legal) avenue is the American playstation store. Importing a card (with taxes) and making a new account is one hoop too many. Out of all of the games that deserve to be ported, Fatal Frame is a series that genuinely needs it. They're fantastic games with beautiful stories and incredibly fun combat.
it is unfair that this game is not better known and does not have more votes, it was ahead of its time has an original concept and I wish I could get this port on PC to play it since I never finished it.
Um dos jogos mais assustadores de todos os tempos, fiquei inumeras horas preso nele seja por falta de inteligencia nos puzzles ou sendo pela falta de coragem para enfrentar os fantasmas de frente com a camera, mas lembro com carinho pois não superei esse game sozinho, estava acompanhado da minha irmã e sei que sem ela, jamais teria completado o jogo, e talvez, não lembraria com tanto carinho dele.
My first proper experience with a horror game, I was terrified and had to have my dad come sit with me. But it left me wanting more, and started me into my absolute love of all things horror, especially games!
I would love to see all of the Fatal Frame games from PS2 ported to PC. They are worthy of preservation. I had never played a horror game like this and have not since. It’s captivating and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s not well enough known and it deserves to be!
