Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, titled Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko (零 〜濡鴉ノ巫女〜, lit. Zero: Black-Haired Shrine Maiden) in Japan and Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water in PAL regions, is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was released in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. As with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.

Planning for the game began in 2011, during the projection of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly. The game was first proposed by series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi when he saw the Wii U hardware and the possibilities of the gamepad becoming the Camera Obscura. The game was a joint production effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, with Kikuchi and fellow co-creator Makoto Shibata returning as to their respective posts of producer and director, together with staff from the previous series entry Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and developers new to the series. The cast went through several revisions during development, while the staff experimented with the capacities of the new hardware. As with previous games, it features a theme song by Tsuki Amano. Upon release, the game received mixed reviews. Reviewers greatly praised its use of the gamepad and dark atmosphere, while opinions were mixed on its story, portrayal of its female characters, and other aspects such as its pacing and controls.

Gameplay

Further information: Fatal Frame § Series gameplay
The view through the Camera Obscura. An attacking ghost is repelled using the Camera, which registers the hit as a "Fatal Frame".

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water puts the player in control of three different characters navigating a number of environments across Hikami Mountain from a third-person perspective, including ruined buildings and dark forests. Characters are able to navigate environments using an interactive map, and can either walk or perform a sprint. During navigation, the characters are confronted by hostile ghosts that attack them and damage them through touch. If a ghost grabs the character, they can either dodge or break free from their grip.[5][6][7]

The only means of defense and attack for the characters is the Camera Obscura, an antique camera that is used from a first-person perspective. The camera is controlled using the Wii U gamepad, with shots of varying closeness and angles affecting how much damage the ghost takes. The most damaging is a "fatal frame", which hits a ghost's weak spot. During combat, after a shot is taken, fragments of a ghost will appear around them.[5][6]

Aside from the Camera Obscura, other factors are present in play. The characters can glimpse pieces of a ghost's past upon defeating them or when they launch a special attack. Characters can also concentrate on items in the environment related to missing people, generating a shade that leads them to the person's location. A wetness meter tracks how damp the character gets when navigating environments. The amount of wetness has positive and negative effects on the character: being wet increases the damage done by the Camera Obscura while increasing the number of ghosts present in an area and attacks causing more damage. In addition, characters can be inflicted with a status ailment from dark-colored ghosts or from a special attack: this ailment decreases vision and defense, and deteriorating health. The ailment is only lifted by defeating all the enemies in the area or using an item to remove all wetness.[8][9]

In addition to the three main characters' story arcs, a special episode featuring Dead or Alive protagonist Ayane. Unlike the other characters, she does not have access to a Camera Obscura, so she must avoid ghosts. If she begins running or gets close to a ghost, they will attack. Ayane can use a special "script of hiding" to make herself temporary invisible, and when she is caught, she can use a special item to throw back and stun them so she can escape.[8][10]

Synopsis

Maiden of Black Water takes place on the fictional Hikami Mountain, a place infamous for suicides and spiritual happenings connected with local bodies of water. In the past, resident shrine maidens would help guide people to a peaceful death, using a mind-reading ability to bring them peace. In time, they would grow too emotional to perform their abilities, and they would be sacrificed as an Eternal Flower to keep a malevolent power called Yomi at bay. The story follows three different protagonists; Yuuri Kozukata, who has the ability to bring people back from the shadow world into the real world: Ren Hojo, an author and friend of Yuuri who goes to the mountain to research his new book: and Miu Hinasaki, the daughter of recurring Fatal Frame protagonist Miku Hinasaki.

Among the ghosts they encounter are Shiragiku, a young shrine maiden whose sacrifice has preserved her as an undying spirit: and Kyozo Kururugi, a man who initially went to die on the mountain but developed an insane fear of the shrine maidens due to their mind-reading powers, killing many maidens and priests before committing suicide. Many of those Kururugi slew became ghosts in their own right. The central story revolves around Ouse Kurosawa, whose near-death experience had left her with sixth sense abilities. Because of this, she became a shrine maiden and was eventually chosen to be a special Eternal Flower who would act as a powerful force pacifying Yomi. Prior to the ritual, her photograph was taken by Kunihiko Asou, creator of the Camera Obscura. They fell in love, and when the time came for the ritual, Ouse's feelings for Kunihiko and the feelings of the shrine maidens murdered by Kururugi caused the ritual to fail. The power overflowed from the box and Ouse became a hostile spirit that corrupted all the spirits of the mountain.

Miu, who initially goes there to help Yuuri, sees a vision on the mountain of her mother. Later venturing there on her own, she learns that she was born from Miku and her dead brother Mafuyu. Miku had gone to see her brother one last time, and is either saved from the mountain's power by Miu or goes into the afterlife to be with Mafuyu. Ren, while helping Yuuri and Miu, regularly crosses paths with Shiragiku and learns that recurring dreams he has been having are the inherited memories of his ancestor Asou. Depending on his actions, he either unites or breaks up with Ouse as Asou's present-day avatar, or puts Shiragiku to rest and returns to the living world. Yuuri's search through the mountain leads to her encountering many of the powerful ghosts and using her Camera Obscura to lay them to rest. Learning of Ouse's history, she heads to a final confrontation with her. Depending on where she glances Ouse, two endings play out: in the "Bad" ending, Yuuri commits suicide with Ouse and the curse goes on claiming more victims. In the "Good" ending, Yuuri glances Ouse freeing her from her duty as a Maiden of Black Water, allowing her and the other spirits to move on to the Afterlife through the purified Dark Sun, while Yuuri returns to the world of the living with Hisoka by her side.

Development

The Wii U Gamepad inspired series producer Keisuke Kikuchi to propose a Fatal Frame title to Nintendo for the platform, seeing its possible use as the Camera Obscura.[4]

The initial inspiration for the game came to series co-creator and producer Keisuke Kikuchi after the Wii U's introduction to the industry: similar to his reaction to the Wii for Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Kikuchi saw multiple gameplay possibilities in the Wii U's gamepad, especially the gamepad becoming the game's Camera Obscura. He was the first to propose the game's concept to Nintendo, with it becoming a joint production between the two companies as with Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. The staff included Kikuchi, series co-creator Makoto Shibata, and Toshiharu Izuno and Tohru Osawa from Nintendo, who had previously worked with Kikuchi and Shibata on Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.[4][11] Planning began in 2011, during development of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly.[12] The key themes are water and the fear of being wet, with the key color being black.[4][11][13] This was inspired by Shibata's memories of visits to parts of America and his feeling that the dampness in the air paralleled his experiences with supposed supernatural events. As with previous games, he made it thinking that it might be the final entry in the series.[12][14]

As with previous titles, the team used traditional Japanese horror as an aesthetic starting point, with the main purpose being to make it as frightening for players as possible. In aid of this, the flashback videos and the core concepts of rescuing people from supernatural hot spots was brought in, although several proposed elements related to this ended up being cut. The main cast went through revisions, although a male character was decided upon early on. Yuuri was created relatively quickly, but the team had trouble deciding who the third character would be. An initial idea of having Miku Hinasaki as a playable character was dropped as her story arc had been resolved in earlier games. Instead, the character of Miu was created, with Kikuchi initially thinking her name was a typing error with Miku's name before reading the full story draft. Ren was initially going to record events on the mountain to offer a different perspective. The relationship between Ren and his assistant Rui Kagamiya was modeled after that between the character Kogoro Akechi and his live-in assistant Yoshio Kobayashi. The female characters' clothing was designed to make them look "sexy" when it got wet.[4][11] The story and characters combined elements from four previous proposals for games in the series. Maiden of Black Water features the largest number of storylines up to that point, but due to the amount of narrative he wanted to include, Shibata ended up neglecting other elements such as Mount Hikami's history of suicides. The mountain setting was also taken from one of these scrapped storylines.[12] Mount Hikami was originally suggested by Nintendo, and was based around multiple real locations in Japan, including Mount Osore and the Tōjinbō sea cliffs. The theme of suicide on the mountain was inspired by Aokigahara, a forest located on Mount Fuji notorious as a suicide site.[14]

As it was the first game on a new console, the development team was largely made up of people new to the series, including designers Akira Ohtani and Yuki Sakamoto.[4] The capacity of the Wii U meant that more experimentation with graphics could be done. During the making of the game, the team watched a lot of scary online videos, along with studying lighting and the appearance of being wet.[11] Alongside making a game for dedicated series players, they also added adjustments for new players, partly due to the multimedia developments that were underway. Among these changes were adding helpful gameplay features and creating more conversation cutscenes to make the story easier to understand. The pace of gameplay was also made similar to an action game as opposed to previous entries.[4][11] In addition, the flashback cutscenes were made to look grainy and low-quality compared to the present-day cutscenes. While they had initially been visually similar to rest of the game, part of the series' appeal was the fear evoked by unseen objects, so they added distortions.[11][13] The shift onto more powerful hardware also enabled the team to incorporate more graphic scenes, which contributed to it receiving a higher CERO rating than previous titles.[13] A mechanic being tested in the game was the necessity to keep dry, initially inspired by the sweating mechanic from Dead or Alive 5. While this was toned down, dampness being tied to the character's well being remained in the game as both a story and gameplay concept. This aspect was suggested by Ohtani.[4]

The graphics engine used technology from Dead or Alive 5, with one of the main points of aesthetic similarity was the sexy look of the female characters. To achieve this look, Kikuchi's team collaborated closely with the Dead or Alive development team. The inclusion of Ayane in the game was suggested by Izuno after Ayane's image was used in the initial proposal for Maiden of Black Water. Seeing as her dark character seemed suited to the series, he asked for her inclusion. Team Ninja co-founder Yosuke Hayashi was also keen to see her included. The main idea was that included a popular character from another Koei Tecmo franchise might help broaden the series' fanbase. In bringing her into the game, they attempted to preserve as much of her sex appeal as possible, such as how much of breasts jiggled. During this process, they frequently received advice from Team Ninja.[4][11] As with previous titles, Maiden of Black Water features a theme song performed by Tsuki Amano, "In This Cage". In addition, it features a second theme song by Japanese singer AuJu titled "Higanbana". This too tied in with the wish to create something new for the series, along with showing its status as a high-end game with the inclusion of two theme songs.[13]

Release

The game was first announced in April 2014, alongside multiple media expansions to the franchise, including a Japanese live-action movie and an original novel and comic.[15] The game's title and release date were revealed during a special Niconico livestream in July.[2] The digital version's large size required the purchasing of an additional external drive for those who did not own a Deluxe Wii U.[16] It was initially stated by Koei Tecmo's European branch that the game would not be released outside Japan.[17] Its release in Western territories was initially hinted at by Tomonobu Itagaki, who stated through his Twitter account that Kikuchi would release the game in North America.[18]

During a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 1, 2015, a Western release for the game was confirmed in both Europe and North America, with now the titles: Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water for North America and Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water for Europe. A European release has been announced and is set for October 30, 2015. Shortly after the announcement of the European release date, the game was announced to be released in North America on October 22, 2015 exclusively for download from the Nintendo eShop.[1][3] This localization was suggested to have been due to fan requests.[19]

In Europe, the game is exclusively available as a Limited Edition version at retail, but was released as both a Limited Edition and standalone copy in Australia, as well as a digital trial version on the Nintendo eShop. While the retail version contains the complete game from the start, the digital trial version is being offered in a free-to-start like manner, in which players can experience the game's prologue and first two chapters for free, after which they are given the choice whether or not to pay for unlocking the remaining ones.[20] In North America, only the digital trial version will be available on the Nintendo eShop, omitting a retail release.[21] This announcement triggered a fan campaign spearheaded by Operation Rainfall to request a physical release for North America.[19] The western release included Nintendo-themed costumes based on popular characters Princess Zelda and Samus Aran. These costumes replaced lingerie and swimsuit outfits featured in the Japanese release.[22]

Reception

Maiden of Black Water received mixed reviews among critics worldwide; achieving an overall score of 67 on Metacritic, indicating mixed or average reviews based on 57 critical reviews.[34]

Nintendo Life's Conor McMahon, gave the game 7/10 summarizing that "Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water has been put through a wringer of doubt and speculation in the run up to its release, but manages to come out the other side still just as drenched with atmosphere and intrigue as ever. Innovation should give fans that spark of renewed excitement, while newcomers are eased into an excellent horror adventure with plenty of time to learn the mechanics. A bit too much repetition and a few rough edges do mar the experience a little, but that absolutely shouldn't stop you from taking the plunge regardless - the water is lovely."[35]

Game Informer writer Tim Turi called the main cast "wooden", referred to the large supporting cast as "vapid", and said that the drawn-out structure of the game harmed the initial premise while also relying too heavily on written documents in the environment for storytelling.[28] GameSpot's Alexa Ray Corriae was unimpressed by the story, saying that early story revelations and backtracking hurt the pacing and dramatic value, while the main characters were underdeveloped. She also felt that the game's darker themes were treated as window dressing rather than used to the full.[30] Daniel Krupa of IGN praised the atmosphere and the disturbing nature of the backstory, and the way the three main characters' roles were balanced out.[31] Nintendo World Report's Andrew Brown cited the main cast as being more "down to earth and relatable" than those from previous games in the series, and said that it was easy for players to sympathize with the ghosts encountered.[32] Ryan Bates of Game Revolution, while enjoying the creepy atmosphere, found the amount of characters introduced early on confusing.[29] VideoGamer.com's Tom Orry praised the character and enemy design, while faulting the English dub and feeling that the female characters' revealing outfits clashed with the game's atmosphere.[33] Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson was highly critical, calling the story "half-baked" and generally faulting the characters in comparison to previous games in the series.[26] Famitsu similarly criticized the attire of female characters disrupting the atmosphere.[27] Dengeki, while again faulting the female characters' clothing, praised the game's use of Japanese horror elements to disturbing effect.[7]

Krupa praised the use of the Wii U gamepad as the Camera Obsura and enjoyed combat for most of the game, but found the latter third of the game tedious due to repetitive battles.[31] Corriae enjoyed the use of the gamepad despite some control issues, Bates was highly positive about the thrill it brought into battles, while Turi found that the function did not bring long-term enjoyment and that backtracking through environments negatively impacted on the experience.[28][29][30] Wilson likewise enjoyed the gamepad's role in the game, while faulting most other aspects including the high amount of health items and character controls.[26] Orry said that the new controls made combat more claustrophobic than in previous games, while Brown enjoyed the immersion the gamepad brought.[32][33] Famitsu was highly positive about the use of the gamepad, saying that it felt like you were in the midst of battles.[27] These sentiments were echoed by Dengeki, but stated that some combat situations made aiming difficult.[7] Multiple reviewers mentioned and generally faulted the stiff controls and character movement.[27][28][29][30][31][32][33]

Corriae praised the graphics and lighting effects, although saying they were "not the sharpest".[30] Brown, while noting some blurry textures and blocky structures, generally cited the lighting and other graphic effects as one of the game's high points.[32] Dengeki also noted the game's graphics, stating that their quality and realistic character movement gave the main characters a high quality feel.[7]

Sales

During its opening week, the game debuted at #7 in Media Create's sales charts, with opening sales of 27,505 units.[36] The following week, it dropped to #11, selling a further 7,105 units and bringing total sales to that point to 34,610.[37] By October, according to Famitsu the game's sales had topped the previous two series titles released on Nintendo consoles, and had the third-strongest debut sales of the series.[38] Its total sales in 2014 reached 46,099 units, putting it at #142 in the year's best-selling game titles.[39]
