You need film to take pictures, and, unlike in the first Fatal Frame, this iteration of the camera thankfully comes preloaded with a mysteriously inexhaustible supply of low-grade film. It can even just take snapshots, if you'd like. It can be used to defeat hostile spirits, reveal clues, unseal doors held closed with spirit power, and catch hidden ghosts. You find the camera soon after arriving in town, and the device serves a wide range of functions. You gradually get a complete picture of the town's denizens through numerous diaries, memos, and notebooks as well as by grabbing choice photos-when the opportunities arise-by using the game's core feature: the camera obscura. There's also at least one genuinely "friendly" ghost in the game who believes you are someone he already knows, so he'll often give you hints for your objectives-if he's available. The village's dark history is gradually revealed, both through grainy black and white film sequences and through the abundance of documents you'll find scattered as you proceed. If your twin is with you, she'll also sometimes aid you by stopping in front of important rooms or giving you a verbal clue to indicate that something worth noting is nearby. Progressing through the buildings generally involves the mainstay of finding a key of some type, but the game does mix things up by including a few simple puzzles and presenting seals that may be removed by photographing certain locations with your camera. Though you have an entire haunted village to roam in Fatal Frame II, large chunks of the game are still spent restricted to a single building at a time, which you'll explore thoroughly. They eventually find an old camera that seems to be able to take pictures of things that aren't really there, and soon enough they're caught up in the village's curse, reliving the night's terrible events that caused the quiet town to be forever shrouded in darkness. Unfortunately, their return path seems to have vanished, so the girls have no choice but to venture into the old, ruined village in search of help. After the twins become lost in a forest, they stumble upon a village that was supposed to have mysteriously disappeared on the night of a special festival. There are two protagonists in the game, the twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, though you'll control Mio nearly all of the time. Now Playing: Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Video Review It did, however, feel like something was missing from the game I'm not sure what but definitely something, the originals are still my favourites so please remaster them and do not change them in any way they are already amazing.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's I do however miss the save points where you can manually save it whenever, but that's just me I'm not a fan of the auto save feature. So I don't really understand why they are complaining cause it is normal for them to use the same locations. Some people have complained about how they used the same locations a lot but the first 2 games are the same, the first Fatal Frame is set in a mansion and the second is in a village. I also like how one of the characters from the original game is in this one I always wondered what happened to Miku. I was not expecting the game to be as long as it is which isn't a bad thing as I miss the old games where it would take weeks to finish a game instead of a few hours or days. After playing it I think it's a really great game, I love the storyline and the camera obscura is exactly how I remember it from the original games. Having played the first 2 on PS2, I was very excited to hear that they were finally putting one of the games onto the PC.
