Taking pictures can sure be scary.
The game revolves around Himuro Mansion, a creepy place where many people disappear. When a respected horror author goes missing resarching his next big story, a fan, Mufaya, goes looking for him. He stumbles upon a something so horrendous, that he gives up his search. However, he is soon kidnapped. Afterwards, his sister Miku goes after him. In terms of gameplay, this game is original. The main weapon is not some gun in the hands of a perfect shot, but rather a camera capable of seeing the spirits (but, more importantly, capable of attacking them) and other things invisible to the naked eye. The camera has different kinds of film, each with stronger exorsism power than the last. The exploration of the mansion is creepy, and there are moments that make your skin crawl. Backtracking can become tedious and annoying, but everything else makes you grin and bear it.
The graphics are nothing special, but they serve their purpose of lending a spooky atmosphere to the game. Some things are beautiful, like the particle effects, while others, like wood textures, look horrendous up close.
Sound is creepiest of all. The game's music is ambient enough to blend in, but always present, sending chills up your spine. The sound effects are very appropriate, but they become repetetive. Replay values include a higher difficulty (with the promise of a new ending), battle mode against the spooks, and costumes. Nothing fancy (no Mufaya mode) is here, but it is adequate. There are more than enough reasons to keep this in your system for a good long time.
The bottom line is this; the game is spooky. It sets horror fans apart from slasher lovers. There is everything here for a creepy time, and it'll last some time, too. Enjoy it while it lasts, and in spite of its few flaws.
