Fatal Frame, known as Project Zero in Europe and Zero (零, Rei^?, this is a pun; \"rei\" can also mean \"ghost\") in Japan, is a survival horror series, so far consisting of three games. The first and second games in the series were released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The third game is currently only available for the PlayStation 2. The series deals with exorcism, dark Shinto rituals, and above all, ghosts.

Created by Tecmo, Fatal Frame is one of the most highly received survival horror games to date, largely due to the atmospheric music, dark and claustrophobic environments, emphasis on aesthetics and art design and the variety of spirits encountered during the course of the game. The main object of the game is to solve a mystery which is linked to old Japanese superstitions. The player's main enemies are ghosts; a few are friendly, but most are not. The only form of defense is a camera obscura, which allows the player to exorcise ghosts by taking a picture of them and thus, sealing their spirit in the film.

Fatal Frame Series

The Fatal Frame series currently exists as a trilogy for the PlayStation 2, though a fourth game is expected on an unconfirmed date and on an as of yet unnamed console, according to Tecmo Games Producer Keisuke Kikuchi.

Fatal Frame (2001)

After having received no news for over a week, Miku Hinasaki goes into the Himuro Mansion to look for her missing brother, Mafuyu Hinasaki. With a flashlight in hand, she ventures along the hallways and rooms of the mansion but finds no traces or clues of her brother save for her mother's old camera. Realizing later that she is now trapped within the mansion, Miku continues searching for her brother and clues for a way out. The game was later ported to the Xbox. The Xbox version included smoother graphics, & an exclusive Fatal Mode that must be unlocked by completing the main game.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (2003)

Fatal Frame 2 is the second game in the series. The game also visits two minor characters that were in the first game, Ryozo and Yae Munakata. The main characters have visions of these two characters before their demise in Himuro Mansion. Twin sisters Mio Amakura and Mayu Amakura are visiting their childhood play spot when Mayu, who walks with a perpetual limp after a childhood accident, follows a mysterious crimson butterfly deep into the woods. Mio, concerned for her twin, follows Mayu, and the two girls are led to a lost village. This village has a dark past of rituals where they take a set of twins and has one kill the other in order to appease the gate to hell on which it sits.
