Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, known in Japan as Zero: Akai Chou (零～紅い蝶～?) and in Europe as Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly, is a survival horror video game developed by Tecmo. It is the second installment in the Fatal Frame series, and is considered by some gaming magazines as one of the scariest video games ever created.[4][5]

Fatal Frame II was originally released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, and a "Director's Cut" version for the Xbox in 2004 included some additional features. A Wii remake of the game was released in Japan, Europe, and Australia.[6][7] It is unknown if this version will be released in North America.[3] However, the original PS2 version of the game has been ported for download on the PlayStation 3.[2]

A typical battle in Fatal Frame II.

Gameplay in Fatal Frame II has some changes and updates from its predecessor. For most of the game, the player controls Mio Amakura, except for some short segments involving her twin sister, Mayu. Mayu's scenes show Mayu wandering somewhere in the village, hinting where the player must go next. In normal gameplay, Mio's health is shown as a bar in the lower right corner, although only during combat and/or in Finder mode. If Mio's health runs out, the game will end; the player can replenish their HP using different healing items scattered throughout the game. Shortly into the game, Mio will obtain a flashlight, which can be aimed in different directions, although the flashlight will not work in all areas.[8]

Mio's only weapon is the "Camera Obscura", an antique camera that can photograph and dispel spirits.[9][10] The Camera uses different types of film as "ammunition". Type-07 film is the weakest, but is unlimited; other types have to be collected throughout the game, the strongest ones being the rarest.[4] The player can upgrade their camera special functions and lenses using Spirit Orbs found in the game, and points earned from photographing ghosts. The points earned from each picture depend on the accuracy of the shot and, during combat, the timing and damage caused, as well as the types of shots used.[4] The camera also includes a Ghost Filament, which is displayed in the lower right corner. The filament glows red when a hostile ghost is present, serving as an indicator of both its direction and proximity to Mio; it will also glow blue when a benign ghost is nearby.[11][12][13]

During the game, Mio must explore the village and its central buildings, finding various objects and solve puzzles in order to advance.[9] Throughout the game, Mio encounters different kinds of ghosts, each with different attack methods. In addition to hostile ghosts, Mio can photograph benign spirits for points. These ghosts often provide some backstory or hints to the player; one ghost, Itsuki, will directly give Mio (and the player) clues to find Mayu and proceed through the game.[4]

The game is divided into nine chapters, each related to certain areas Mio visits as she chases her sister. In Chapter 7, Mio briefly loses both the flashlight and Camera Obscura, leaving the player with no means to fight back. In addition to the main story, there is a special tenth chapter only available in Hard and Nightmare difficulties. The tenth chapter (known as chapter zero) can be played in any difficulty in the Wii version, but only if certain requirements are met in chapter 8.[citation needed]

The player can save their progress at red lanterns scattered throughout the village. There is no limit on how many times one can save their game; however, the game cannot be saved during combat - the lamp will go out when a hostile ghost is present, and will not relight until the ghost is defeated. The game has a "new game plus" feature, allowing the player to start a new game while keeping all their inventory and camera functions, lenses and upgrades from their previous save file. Over multiple playthroughs, you can unlock various bonus content, including a Mission Mode, different outfits, gallery features, and special camera lenses. In Mission Mode, the player is presented with a challenge, usually to defeat certain ghosts as quickly as possible, or getting the highest points possible, either overall or with a single shot.[citation needed]

Story [edit]

The game opens with twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, who are visiting their favorite childhood place before it is cleared out for a dam. Mayu, who walks with a limp after a childhood accident, follows a mysterious red butterfly deep into the woods.[14][15] Mio, concerned for her older sister, follows, and they soon discover a village at night. While it seems abandoned, the twins soon realize that the village houses the tortured souls of the dead, forever reliving the event that trapped them in this state.[4][16][17][18]

Mayu soon falls under the village's spell and, beckoned by the crimson butterflies, is led deeper into the village. As Mio follows, she slowly learns of the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual, the failure of which caused the "Repentance", a disaster which shrouded the village in darkness.[19] The village also houses a system of tunnels, its deepest point home to the "Hellish Abyss", a deep hole that collects the souls of the dead.[20][21] To keep this hole from unleashing darkness, a pair of twins born in the village are required to perform a ritual approximately every decade, in which the elder twin strangles the younger, after which the soul of the younger twin stays to guard the village as a crimson butterfly.[22] The last pair of twins, Yae and Sae Kurosawa, tried to escape this fate, aided by Itsuki Tachibana, the Remaining twin of the previous (unsuccessful) ritual.[23] During their escape, Sae was caught and brought back to the village, while Yae found herself at the Himuro Mansion. Desperate, the villagers hanged Sae to try to satisfy the Hellish Abyss; the attempt failed, causing the Repentance to occur and the village to disappear.[18]

Throughout the game, several ghosts refer to Mio as Yae and seem to expect her to perform the ritual with Mayu.[24] Itsuki, however, tries to help her - believing the two to be the Kurosawa twins, he tries to aid their escape from the village again. Near the end of the game, when Mio is finally reunited with Mayu and planning their escape, she discovers a document left by a visiting folklorist concerning the twin order.[25] In the village, the twin born second is considered the elder, as they let the weaker, "younger" twin be born first.[25] This completely reverses Mio's intended fate: instead of being sacrificed herself, she must strangle her twin sister, a fate which has driven many previous Remaining twins to madness and suicide.[18]

Fatal Frame II has three potential endings. The Crimson Butterfly ending sees Mio and Mayu proceeding with the ritual, where Mayu becomes a crimson butterfly.[26] The Lingering Scent ending sees Mio escaping from the village without Mayu, which leads to an automatic game over.[27] The Hellish Abyss ending sees Mio rescuing Mayu from Sae, only to become permanently blinded from looking into the Hellish Abyss. The Promise Ending, added to the "Director's Cut" version, sees Yae and Sae performing the ritual and freeing the villagers' spirits, thus sparing Mio and Mayu.[28] Two new endings are included in the game's Wii Edition. The Shadow Ritual ending sees Mio unable to stop the Repentance in time, but chooses to stay with Mayu together in death over fleeing the village alone.[29] The Frozen Butterfly ending sees Mio refusing to proceed with the ritual, resulting in Mayu strangling her instead (thus allowing another Repentance).[30] According to the events of Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, the direct sequel of the game, the Crimson Butterfly ending is the canonical ending.[31]

Director's Cut [edit]

A director's cut edition was released for the Xbox in 2004. The director's cut added in several updates, including a first-person play mode, a survival mode, a new ending, enhanced graphics, and a greater number of alternate costumes to unlock. In first-person mode, the player can play through the entire game from a first-person perspective. The Xbox version also has a "shop" feature where the player can trade points from pictures for healing items and film.[32]

Project Zero 2: Wii Edition [edit]

Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, known in Japan as Zero: Shinku No Chou (零～眞紅の蝶～,"Zero: Deep Crimson Butterfly"), is a remake of Crimson Butterfly developed by Tecmo Koei and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console. It was released in Japan, Australia and Europe in June 2012, with no announcement for a North American release yet.[6][33][34][35]

The Camera Obscura's Viewfinder in Wii Edition
From left: Mio and Mayu Amakura in Wii Edition

Following the gameplay mechanics of Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen, the game will have an over-the-shoulder view. The player will use the Wii Remote to aim the Camera Obscura, and the Nunchuk for the player's flashlight. A new mechanic[clarification needed] has been added to the game as well as new graphics, updated character models, new camera design, new areas, redone FMV sequences and a two-player mode which have not been seen in any previous games in the series the Haunted House mode.

The main differences between the remake and original are the updated graphics and the third-person camera angle first used in Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen. The map has been updated to work better with the new viewpoint, and the costumes were designed with more emphasis on the back since it is constantly in the player's view. Also similarly to Fatal Frame IV, the game contains "ghost hands", which may randomly pop up when the player attempts to pick up an item. If the hand appears, the player will have to pull back before it can grab them, which inflicts damage. The Camera Obscura has a new viewfinder and altered controls. The player can examine some objects, such as cloth-covered mirrors and barred windows. A new Haunted House mode has been added, a two-player mode in which players walk around a set course, with sudden and disturbing events occuring randomly. The game also features new endings and a new theme song. There are also slight changes to dialog and notes, as well as new voice actors for the characters.[36][37]

Project Zero 2: Wii Edition was met with positive reviews. IGN called the game "an enduring classic that every horror fan should have in their collection."[66] Nintendo Gamer called it "the best horror game on Wii, by some margin."[70]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK said, "At its core lies a weird, fantastically creepy horror adventure, with plenty of really scary moments within a rich and wonderfully atmospheric environment. It's just a shame that much of the time your real adversary isn't the ghosts themselves but the controls you're expected to use to defeat them."[71]

Nintendo Life called the remake "a fine example of a survival horror game despite some awkward controls and an over-reliance on cut scenes that occasionally break the moment. Even with these problems the tension remains consistently high thanks to its bleak, intriguing plot, an atmosphere that is second to none and excellent presentation."[72]

UK website Cubed3 stated that "Project Zero 2 is not only the scariest experience on Wii, but one of the best examples of how a survival horror game should be made", and that it "continues the trend of strong Wii releases in 2012 and is the perfect plat du jour" after Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, a series spin-off for the Nintendo 3DS.[68][73][74][75]

"According to Shibata, many Fatal Frame players were too scared to finish the game. The developers didn't make the sequel less scary as a result — in fact, it's regarded as the scariest entry in the Fatal Frame series, and one of the scariest games ever made. Instead, said Shibata, "We shifted our attention to making the storyline more interesting, to encourage such players to overcome the scariness in wanting to see the end of the story." Shibata added that the sequel's story was based on a "scary, magical and traumatic" dream he had after the conclusion of development on the original Fatal Frame. It made him think about the "never-ending loops of thoughts" that are characteristic of psychic horror: ghosts and spirits never appearing in the same location, or appearing in the same way. "The more times you play through it, the more different outcomes you'll feel every time as a result," said Shibata. "This is actually a reflection of what happened when I was trying to figure out the meanings behind the dream I had mentioned earlier on. This never-ending illusion is something which has been reflected in the game.""

"Progressing through the buildings generally involves the mainstay of finding a key of some type, but the game does mix things up by including a few simple puzzles and presenting seals that may be removed by photographing certain locations with your camera. If your twin is with you, she'll also sometimes aid you by stopping in front of important rooms or giving you a verbal clue to indicate that something worth noting is nearby. The village's dark history is gradually revealed, both through grainy black and white film sequences and through the abundance of documents you'll find scattered as you proceed. There's also at least one genuinely "friendly" ghost in the game who believes you are someone he already knows, so he'll often give you hints for your objectives--if he's available. You gradually get a complete picture of the town's denizens through numerous diaries, memos, and notebooks as well as by grabbing choice photos--when the opportunities arise--by using the game's core feature: the camera obscura.
    You find the camera soon after arriving in town, and the device serves a wide range of functions. It can be used to defeat hostile spirits, reveal clues, unseal doors held closed with spirit power, and catch hidden ghosts. It can even just take snapshots, if you'd like. You need film to take pictures, and, unlike in the first Fatal Frame, this iteration of the camera thankfully comes preloaded with a mysteriously inexhaustible supply of low-grade film. This allows you to hoard the more powerful film you obtain for combat, while letting you snap pictures of clues and the like to your heart's content. Otherwise, the camera handles just as it did in the previous game. So pressing the circle button causes you to enter first-person mode, and lining up things in the capture circle allows you to photograph hints, or it allows you to damage spirits. The capture circle glows green for hints and hidden spirits, and it glows red or orange when you've got a lock on hostile spirits. You can upgrade the abilities of the camera via lenses and other special items you acquire during gameplay. You'll spend something called "spirit points" to do this, which you'll earn through special photos and through battle."

I wonder if this village was founded by people who wanted to preserve their sacred rituals and festivals? Most notable among All God's folklore is the "gate to hell" legend that has been passed down for years. It is an archetypal tale of a gate or hole that marks the border to the world of the dead, also called Hades, the underworld, or the netherworld. It is a forbidden place that is feared and hated, but it is also worshipped as well. The idea of hell has been a core belief of humans since ancient times. This village supports the theory that the belief is universal. The Forbidden Ritual regarding this "gate to hell" that takes place here is something no one is allowed to see or speak of. This strict taboo is probably the result of a ceremony concerning the border with hell coming closer to the living world. Villagers lead a simple life. Deep in the mountains, they struggled to forage food for their daily meals. The village has little contact with the outside world. They continue to practice the ways of old frozen in time."
