“This is a great game! The story is nice, nothing too crazy. Gameplay is pretty good, love the camera mechanics with combos and lenses. The movement is not great, you don't really run, you walk faster and open doors…”

“The first Fatal Frame game I ever played was Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, and it made me really fall in love with the series. I was scared the whole time while playing that one, but this game is even scarier. I…”
“My favorite entry in the series after III. Very atmospheric, slow-burn horror with a perfect setting (an old hotel). Impressive graphics for the time which still hold up. The first entry with over the shoulder camera,…”

“Fatal Frame Yellow: Now Suspiciously Blue Edition. You get a clearly underdeveloped game on your hands to remaster, a perfect fit almost, and somehow you've still managed to make it look worse on artistic front.…”

“beautiful horror game, haunting, and a deeply depressing story. the only real negative is that ghosts constantly appear in walls instead of in the room.”

“What else left to say about Fatal Frame game. Everything in between the blurry lines of uncanny valley. And believe me this one will give you this. Not only considered as the creepiest one but by far the most unsettling its ever been in every shape of form. Creepy ghost will…”
