The second part of the acclaimed Fatal Frame (a.k.a. Rei Zero) which is actually a prequel of the events occurred on the first part.

This time you play the role of twin sisters trapped in a Lost Village, a generation before the story of Himuro's Mansion. By chance you are also introduced to the camera and its mystical powers, which is the only item that will help to steal apparition and ghost's souls.


The storyline unfolds on a dark ritual gone bad, seizing the time and space in the village in which you are trapped inside, guided by a strange butterfly.

Trivia

The idea of a camera absorbing ghosts is based on a superstition that having your picture taken steals your soul and the only way it can be returned is to burn the film. There are followers of religions around today that believe this to be true including places in Mexico. The ghosts you encounter are all lost souls.
