a hauntingly beautiful game, my favorite fatal frame entry as of now, everything clicked perfectly with me and this entry has the things i felt lacked in the later entries....

first of all, i felt very connected with every character and their struggle and story, secondly the story is more contained, the design and atmosphere is delightful and made even backtracking enjoyable and lastly i feel that the one thing that bugged me with newer fatal frame games is that mutiple protagonist angle where i tend to lose the main thread and point of the story whereas here the story is focused on a singular character while trying to make parallels relevant to her and that made the story and themes easier to understand and connect.
i don't have much to say, it's truly a really good game which every horror enjoyer needs to play!
