- FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse – FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was released in Japan in 2008 as the fourth game in the FATAL FRAME series. Following the remastering of FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water, the series masterpiece is being brought back to life with upgraded graphics. In FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, a group of children mysteriously disappeared during a festival on Rogetsu Isle. Although they were found, they had lost their memories. Now they have returned to the island as teenagers to discover the truth of their haunting past. While exploring various locations on the island, the girls must rely on the faint beam of their flashlight and the Camera Obscura, a camera with the power to fend off the ghosts that attack them, and capture and seal away unthinkable horrors. FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is available to play today.
