While Maiden of Black Water is near expert in its slow build, always offering many questions to ask and mysteries to solve, it takes a little too much comfort in this method. What could it all mean?Īll of that makes for an intriguing premise. Miu, originally around in-game to assist Yuri, soon sees visions of her mother. Maidens of a past life have taken hold of the mountain, suggesting they are the very reason for the many that have taken their lives in this eerie environment. Stated over many generations to be the place people go to take their own lives, its intrigue and dark history is clearly inspired by the real-life Aokigahara.Įach on the hunt for their own answers within the mountain, such as Ren’s research for his latest book, our heroes will happen upon many a spirit or twist and turn that’ll challenge their path. All their stories interconnect, crossing paths and all coming back to one key sharing factor: the eerie fictional mountain known as Mt Hikami. These are Yuri Kozukata, a young woman with ethereal powers that link to the dark world, Ren Hoji, an author and friend of Yuri, and lastly Miu Hinasaki, a link to the earlier games, being the daughter of previous protagonist Miku. Maiden of Black Water situates the player in control of three protagonists.
Fatal frame 6 2021 series#
In theory, it too is a good testing ground for whether a series return is worth it.
This may not be the prime entry fans were after a remaster of, but it was a welcome enough onboarding for me as a series newcomer. Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is a remastered port of the 2014 Wii U game, now available on current-gen consoles and PC. Undoubtedly having its dedicated fans, it hasn’t exactly prospered in recent years like Resident Evil nor is there loud begging for its return, like the more prolific and absent Silent Hill series. Long on ice for several years, Project Zero (or Fatal Frame as it may better be known in other localisations) as a series is a bit of a dark horse in the horror space.
