…and some other people, too

Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maidenhas an awful title as well as some decidedly bland box art, but the recent issue ofFamitsuhas revealed some details about the upcoming Japan-only (boo!) Wii U survival horror title that seem intriguing. I mean, it’s aFatal Framegame, It’s gonna be spooky.

That girl we’ve been seeing in all of the promotional art and videos? Her name’s Yuri Kozukata, and she’s got a special power that allows her to see people who have been “spirited away” as well as bring them back. Employed at Cafe Kurosawa, she embarks on a journey into the Hikayama mountains to recover the missing cafe owner, Hisoka Kurosawa.

Hisoka went into the mountains to recover a girl who had, in fact, been spirited away. Little Miyu Hinasaki went to the mountains by her lonesome to find her mother, starting a chain of disappearances that will ultimately culminate in, well, the events of the game, I’d say.

There’s also a writer named Ren Houjou who ALSO goes into the mountains with his assistant Rui Kagamiya. I think everyone needs to just chill it out and stop going into the mountains. But then, I suppose there wouldn’t be aFatal Framegame, would there? And there probably won’t be, at least a localization. Hey, we can be hopeful though, right?
