Horror Intended for The Dedicated Fanįatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water creates a tense environment for you to explore and builds up a compelling backstory for you to unearth. When looking at the original version, it would have benefited from shortening the journey somehow though I’d hate to see any of the backstory go anywhere. While I appreciate playing a longer horror game, Maiden just doesn’t offer enough variety to warrant that length of game. In general, most horror games only run between six and 10 hours, but Maiden took about 15 hours for me to finish my first time. There’s plenty of moments where ghosts jump out at you or the game shows you grotesque imagery, but the true tension comes from pacing. Some moments intensify, like with boss fights and significant backstory reveals, but the rest of the game maintains a constant level of tension. Suspense Galoreįortunately, another constant is the level of suspense the game creates. Unfortunately, these few variations don’t mix up the rest of the experience at all. On rare occasions, the game places you in a unique situation where you have to time photos in different ways, which helps a bit.

The more focal points you align in your shot, the more damage you inflict on the in-frame targets. Unlike objects, enemies release spirits as you take pictures, and each one acts as another focal point for your picture. Each target, whether it be a ghost or object, has a lock-on point you can focus on by pressing L2. Most of the time the camera is your only line of defense against hostile spirits. ![]()
