Also, the numerous sacrifices could not contain the mistake of one priestess, and The Rift was still released. Even though many sacrifices had already been made, the rituals continued. When Kei walks in, he finds the walls and floor of the room covered with impaled tattooed priestesses who were all sacrificed to keep back The Rift. The Chamber of Thorns in the third game was an especially impactful scene. (Spoilers for first and third games below) Even when the rituals went absolutely right, they were horrific and needed to be performed again and again and again. In the games, the other side had to be continuously appeased and the smallest slip in purity or performance had dire consequences. The need for the rituals made me think about the importance of not only sacrifice but worthy sacrifice. The sacrifice goes wrong because of the actions or feelings of the person being sacrificed and terrible consequences ensue. Closing the gate to hell, keeping something from coming out of the other side, appeasing something from hell, etc. The purpose of the sacrifice generally relates to hell or the other side. Many Fatal Frame games revolve around some ancient religious ritual that remained very secretive over the years and required some sort of human sacrifice. It doesn’t overly rely on blood, gore, and shock value and it uses a camera as the main weapon adding the horror element of having to look through a lens for much of the time.

For me, I enjoy the challenge of desperate survival in an eerie atmosphere and satisfying that “Why is something like this happening?” curiosity.įatal Frame is one of my favorite horror series because it creates that tense atmosphere and puts plenty of story behind even the minor ghosts in the game. People are drawn to the horror game genre for different reasons.
