![]() You would figure that if you know you are going to be doing voice over work (even for a western port of a Japanese game) you would still try your hardest to actually make it sound good. While the voices done for the spirits were quite ghastly, the woman who voiced Miku completely phoned it in. Voice work in Fatal Frameis absolutely horrendous. After some ghostly encounters, you’ll be treated to ghostly voices either giving hints about events that the house has witnessed or its denizens’ final agonized screams. ![]() Ambient sound in Fatal Frame is the kind you’d hear on dark nights with all the lights out … creaking boards, doors in other rooms closing, strange rustling sounds. Just like in any horror game, no, any survival horror game, the sounds/soundtrack play a major role in setting the overall atmosphere of the game, no the experience. Since the camera is fixed, you may wish to change the default controller setup otherwise, you’ll find that Miku makes an immediate about-face as she walks through a door or gets boxed into corners turning ’round in circles when battling spirits. As Miku travels down a screened hallway, the camera will pull back and up to deliver a view of the scene that you’re absolutely sure has been snatched from a movie and dropped into this game. No matter how hard you try to adjust the camera, you just can’t. The in-game camera is fixed and cannot be moved in any way by the player however, the trade-offs are some exquisitely “filmed” views of the game. ![]() On top of this, there is also a loosely-structured scoring system based on the size and angle of your photo. Just to stress you out a little bit more, the camera has a limit of how much “spirit power” it obtains in regards to how much damage it will do to the spirit. This, along with only being able to use the camera as your only defense assures that you will have a stressful and intense gaming experience. The game play tries to stay true to the survival horror genre by playing in an intense third person mode. This camera was g iven to Miku by her mother and was told that it can see things that could not be seen with the naked eye. The catch is that they can only be seen through the view finder of Miku’s antique camera. She learns this is a part of a ritual conducted by the occult occupying the Himuro Mansion on a shrine maiden to appease the spirits.Īs you travel through the game, you will come across many different spirits that are trapped within the mansion. The further Miku explores, rope burns appear on her wrists and ankles. The player controls Miku as she explores the Himuro Mansion, looking for Mafuyu. Junsei Takamine disappeared in the mansion along with his assistant and editor while conducting research on his next best-selling novel. Mafuyu left for the Himuro Mansion to look for his mentor Junsei Takamine and his been missing for two weeks. Does it still hold the same scare and fear today like it did when it was released? Lets find out.įatal Frame follows the story of Miku Hinasaki as she searches for her brother Mafuyu after he mysteriously disappears. After not finishing the game completely when I was younger, I decided that our Nerd Bacon Halloween was a perfect time to pick the game up for another play through. I have to say, why did my parents let me play this? They obviously didn’t realize how gruesome it actually is. ![]() Oh Fatal Frame, one of the games of my childhood that scared the living crap out of me as a kid.
