The underworld can have them.īetter known as the Fatal Frame series in Japan, Project Zero: Maiden of the Black Water is the latest camera-snapping survival horror game from Koei Tecmo.


Yet, the cast of Maiden of the Black Water just can't help themselves, as time and again you must descend to the watery horrors below with not one but all three of its main protagonists. The Womb Cavern (yes, really), was by far my favourite piece of set naming from Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, but it makes you wonder why anyone with half a brain cell would keep trudging down there unaccompanied, in the middle of the night no less, to find their dead-eyed friends and missing companions. Hikami are good at precisely two things: wandering up spooky mountains and offing themselves at sunset, and coming up with creepy location names to traumatise the neighbourhood psychics who come to solve their sinister fates.
