Description
You play as Miku Hinasaki, a young girl with a strange sixth sense. Your brother, Mafuyu, and his mentor, Junsei Takamine, went to investigate a mansion that once was inhabited by a powerful landowner who had absolute control over the area. Unfortunately, they never returned from their investigation.
As Miku, you enter the mansion and try to find your brother and his mentor. Armed with only an antique camera your deceased mother gave you, you venture inside.
While inside the mansion, you will encounter ghosts and other spiritual apparitions. In order to overcome these ghouls and to survive, you must use your camera, which holds some sort of magical power, to capture these ghosts on film, thereby trapping them forever.
Miku must successfully navigate the mansion, find her brother, and escape, all the while capturing the ghosts on film before they manage to kill you.
Fatal Frame is a survival horror game, and is based on a true story.

Trivia
On the cover of the game, there is the line that states "Based on a True Story." In an interview, Producer of Project Zero,
Makoto Shibata, explains the story that inspired the game:
"In an area outside Tokyo, there lies a mansion in which it’s said seven people were murdered in a grisly manner. On the same property, there lie three detached residences that surround the mansion, all of which are rumored to have ties to the mansion’s troubled past. It’s said there is an underground network of tunnels that lay beneath the premises, but nobody knows who made these tunnels or what purpose they served. Many inexplicable phenomenon have been reported occurring on the property. Bloody hand prints have been found splattered all over the walls. Spirits have been spotted on the premises… even in broad daylight. A narrow stairway leads to an attic where a spirit-sealed talisman is rumored to be locked away. Men have sought this talisman, only to be found later with their bodies broken and rope marks around their wrists. There’s a crumbling old statue of a woman in a kimono, but its head is missing. If you take a photo of a certain window, a young girl can be seen in the developed picture. These incidents have provoked fear in the people of Tokyo, and many believe that those who live near this area will become cursed. The deaths of those seven people are unexplained to this day."
