Forcing you to look the horrifying enemies in the eye to defeat them is a rather genius idea, and not for the faint of heart. This ancient ghostbusting weapon is the only way to exorcise vengeful spirits from the world, and is also a really clever gameplay mechanic. What makes Project Zero special is that instead of fighting the ghoulish enemies with baseball bats or guns, you batter them with a magical camera called the Camera Obscura. As various characters you’ll be exploring a variety of spooky environments, solving puzzles and most importantly, taking a whole lot of photos of dead people. If you’ve played a Project Zero (or Fatal Frame for some of our overseas readers) game before, you know what to expect from Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Looking for answers they head back as young adults, and find all the ghosts and misery you’d expect from a Project Zero game. Some of our protagonists know this better than anyone since they were imprisoned until an asylum on the island at a young age, but their memories of the ordeal are more than a bit hazy. The island of Rogetsu has long been known as a mysterious and sinister place with connections to the other side. I was excited to get my hands on the Camera Obscura all over again, but Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse taught me to be careful what I wish for. It must have been a success for them, because now the fourth game in the series is getting a remaster too.
I really enjoyed my playthrough of the game, and the classic survival horror experience felt so refreshing in the modern era of video games.
Back in 2021 Koei Tecmo published a remaster of the fifth game in the Project Zero series, Maiden of the Black Water.
