Fatal Frame Spin-off "Spirit Camera" coming to North America

Shikou · Jan 17, 2012

A part of me wants to believe there is hope for future NA releases of the Fatal Frame series if this does well. Thanks again Crunchyroll!!!

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, co-developed by Nintendo and Tecmo, uses Nintendo 3DS' built-in camera functions and augmented reality features to enhance its horrors in multiple ways. The Fatal Frame spin-off has been dated for North American release on the appropriately horrifying day of Friday, April 13.
Spirit Camera follows Maya, who players must help break free from a terrifying curse in an old house, and ultimately escape the clutches of "a malevolent woman in black." The 3DS camera lets players view Maya in their own spooky surroundings.

Other features of the camera come into play with Spirit Camera's included 16-page AR book, known as the "diary of faces." Through the lenses of the 3DS camera, players can enter the book's pages, which come to life in the form of movies to reveal other aspects of the story and insights into its mysteries. The press release adds: "In other moments, characters will emerge from the pages into the player's world via augmented reality in the form of evil spirits that attack from all directions."

Who's ready for something a little darker on their 3DS?
