Created by Tecmo, Fatal Frame is one of the more highly received survival horror games to date, largely due to the atmospheric music, dark and claustrophobic environments, and the variety of spirits encountered during the course of the game. The main object of the game is to solve a mystery which is linked to old Japanese superstitions. The player's main enemies are ghosts; a few are friendly, but most are not. The only form of defense is a camera obscura, which allows the player to exorcise ghosts by taking a picture of them.
