Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a horror adventure game developed by Koei Tecmo Games, released in 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A remaster of the original release, it features updated visuals, new costumes, and a photo mode. The game's narrative is divided into three interconnected stories centered on a forest with a dark and deadly history. Players take control of one of three characters, each possessing the Camera Obscura — a device that allows them to perceive and interact with spirits of the dead. Investigating a series of mysterious deaths, these characters move through locations including a ruined inn, a shrine populated with life-size dolls, and a lake haunted by deceased priestesses. Combat and progression revolve around using the camera to confront supernatural threats and piece together the truth behind the forest's tragedies.
Mt. Hikami was once worshiped as a sacred place where a unique religion was taught. The water on this mountain is believed to house spirits, and there is a teaching from this region that “humans are born from water and return to it at the end of their lives.” As a result, “people looking for death” come to this mountain and experience their last moments while they come in contact with the mountain’s water. They believe this is the proper way to end their lives. Several peculiar rituals and customs still exist on this mountain, and many bizarre and unfortunate occurrences have supposedly taken place here. This story takes place on Mt. Hikami, a mountain believed to be a sacred place, and revolves around Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo and Miu Hinasaki who act as the three protagonists whose stories are interwoven in this mysterious and dream-like tale.
