KOEI TECMO announces
FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, is coming
early next year to PC and consoles. This is a remastered version of a Japanese
horror/adventure that was first released in Japan in 2008. The
Announcement Trailer shows off the updated graphics along with a glimpse at
the game's horror sensibilities. Here's word:
FATAL FRAME: Mask of the
Lunar Eclipse takes place a decade after five girls mysteriously disappeared at
a festival on Rōgetsu Isle, an island in southern Japan. While all of the girls
were eventually rescued, their memories were lost, with only the faint
remembrance of a single melody and a seemingly possessed masked woman dancing in
the moonlight. Now, ten years later, with still no memory of the events
surrounding their disappearance, two of the five girls have died -- discovered
with covered faces and found in a tragic, crying pose. The remaining three girls
now head off to the eerie island to solve the mystery of their friends’ death,
while also unlocking the mystery of the memories left
behind.
