Fatal Frame is a survival horror game where you defend yourself against hostile spirits using an antique camera. You explore a haunted mansion in third-person, switching to first-person viewfinder mode to photograph ghosts—your only means of fighting them. Ghosts phase through walls and floors, teleport, and attack from unpredictable angles. The camera captures them, dealing damage based on timing and framing. You'll solve puzzles to unlock new areas, manage consumable film and health items, and piece together why the mansion's former inhabitants died violently. The story follows a woman searching for her missing brother, uncovering a failed ritual that trapped vengeful spirits. Difficulty settings adjust item scarcity and enemy aggression. Completing the game unlocks alternate costumes, new camera functions, and a battle mode where you fight specific ghosts for points. It's methodical and tense—you can't run-and-gun your way through.
