If you get absorbed in the storyline - which is easy to do as the episodic structure makes "just one more area" a compelling prospect - you'll find a good 15 or so hours of game here, and much more if you decide you need to get higher ranks as you improve your Camera Obscura with upgrades and other boons. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though we found the earlier PlayStation 2 instalments of the series were more interested in actively frightening the player. It's oddly cosy and non-stressful for a horror game, because your camera is such an efficient weapon and the combat it propogates is too action-packed to really let any dread sink in. You'll see ghosts out of the corner of your eye and when you check, they'll be gone. And while you’re at it, check out our interview with series producer Keisuke Kikuchi.There's a lot to like about Maiden of Black Water while we didn't find it overly scary, it is very good indeed at being eerie. If you’re interested on our thoughts regarding the remaster, hit up Neil’s review. Christophe Gans (who directed the Silent Hill film adaptation) had mentioned being attached to the project back in February 2020. And while the company currently doesn’t have any plans for new entries, series producer Keisuke Kikuchi states that the response to the Maiden of Black Water remaster has been more positive than what was initially expected.Īnd despite the reluctance (so far) to develop new entries, Koei Tecmo is still in the process of forging ahead with a live-action movie adaptation based on the franchise. Those sales cover the remaster’s release on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. Per Siliconera, the latest financial report for Koei Tecmo’s third quarter of the fiscal year states that the remake of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water has now sold over 340,000 units worldwide since its release in December 2021. If you’re hoping for future entries in the Fatal Frame series, it would appear that things are headed in the right direction.
