The three playable characters in the game take turns as protagonist in different chapters of the narrative, each with their own specialties when it comes to fighting the spirits of the departed. The story of Maiden of Black Water follows a group of people drawn to Hikami Mountain, a place where people go to commit suicide, similar to the real-life Aokigahara Forest. The Fatal Frame games feature an assortment of protagonists picking up the Camera Obscura, an antique camera with the unique capability of photographing and subsequently exorcising malicious ghosts. However, while it has great atmosphere throughout, actually busting ghosts is where Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, like a panicked victim in a horror movie, stumbles. The esteemed horror games that have players fighting ghosts by taking their picture seem tailor-made for the system’s Game Pad, which allows players to hold the controller like a camera as their character does in the game.
The story can also feel frustrating at times, with awkward pacing and unanswered questions.Fatal Frame is a series that seems like it’s been waiting over a decade for the Wii U console to come along. However, by the later part of the game, dealing with ghosts can start to seem repetitive.
The camera system is complex but rewarding. Like other games in the Fatal Frame series, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water presents eerie environments, memorable images, and great jumpscare moments. However, there's no need to play the earlier games in the series in order to understand the plot of this installment. For instance, one of the protagonists is the daughter of a character from an earlier game. This game does include some connections to previous Fatal Frame games. Immersion in water boosts a character's connection to the spirit world, making them more able to affect ghosts but also more vulnerable. The rainy, damp environment of Mount Hikami actually plays a part in the game's mechanics. This remastered version of the original console release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water succeeds at creating an eerie, tragic atmosphere.
