The story presented here is easily one of the strongest in the entire franchise, presenting players with a multi-pronged mystery from the get-go. Of course, being a Project Zero title there are ample mentions of rituals and spirits which tie into the overarching narrative. After two of the girls who were saved die under strange circumstances, the remaining three come back to Rogetsu Island to try and solve the mystery of their past and are promptly followed by the Detective who initially freed them from their nightmare.Īs you get further and further into the sanitarium and surrounding areas of the island, you’ll learn more about the serial killer, the purpose of the five girls, and an illness affecting them all called Moonlight Syndrome. Two years after the girls are found in a cavern under the sanitarium, the island is hit by a mysterious curse killing off all the inhabitants and suspending the island in a state of ruin. The mystery revolves around five girls who were kidnapped from a sanitarium on Rogetsu island by a serial killer and eventually found “safe and well” by a detective who acts as one of the 4 playable characters. These cover a timeline that jumps around from the 1970s to the present day. Mask of the Lunar Eclipse features a tale told from the perspective of four different playable characters presented over twelve chapters. This refresh of the series was also handed over to quirky developer team Grasshopper and their enigmatic leader Suda51. At this point, the previous trilogy had come to an end, with this launching as a new start, with a new cast, and a completely new mystery, but familiar aspects such as the Camera Obscura. Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was somewhat of a new start for the series. Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is the fourth title in the Project Zero franchise, predating the previous re-release. Grab some fresh underwear and your Camera Obscura it’s time to solve the mystery of Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Since then, it seems Koei Tecmo have decided to get their horror franchise another lease of life by giving another title in the series a remaster, releasing it outside of Japan, and freeing it from Wii-Jail. A scant release schedule up until the fantastic re-release of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water has helped to keep it that way. Project Zero or Fatal Frame as it’s known in some regions has always felt like Koei Tecmo’s best-kept secret, with a cult following.
