Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water (or Fatal Frame, if you want to be all American about it) is out this week. Please buy it. It is a great game, one of the best survival horror games (and series) out there, and I would very much like it to come back, either in the form of remastered versions of the old games or some brand new installments. Or, preferably, both.
If you would like to know more, I encourage you to either read my Project Zero Cover Game Feature on MoeGamer or the abridged version I posted over on Rice today: https://ricedigital.co.uk/the-history-of-project-zero/
Seriously, this is one of the absolute best horror game series in the known Universe, and its focus on Japanese spiritualism and ghostly myths makes it stand out brilliantly against the horror games that focus more on blood and gore. And Maiden of Black Water specifically is an immensely underappreciated game that suffered a great deal from being confined to the Wii U (not from a technical perspective, mind you — it was one of the most beautiful games on the system) so I would urge you to give it a chance now it is more broadly available.
Then hopefully we can encourage Koei Tecmo to finally do an official localisation and/or remaster of the fourth one, aka The Best One. We can but hope.
Anyway. It's nearly Halloween, so you need a spooky game to enjoy, right? Also, buy Corpse Party too, that's also awesome.
Right, I am done spending your money for you. Off to bed for me!
