THE FATAL FRAME WAY
Why is a massively unknown game regarded by some as one of the scariest video games ever released?

Join us as we step into Himuro Mansion and discuss what Fatal Frame is, what makes it scary, and just how a horror game based on a real story made us want to buy a Camera Obscura and go ghost hunting.
