Scans of Shinrei Camera, a new 3DS game co-developed by Tecmo’s Fatal Frame team and Nintendo.
As you can surmise from the title and these shorts, it’s a horor game that takes advantage of the 3DS’s augmented reality capabilities. The game will come with an “AR Notebook” that you can point your camera at in-game to reveal hidden messages, clues, and even demons.
1UP translated Famitsu’s preview of the game, with comments from producer Keisuke Kikuchi:
“Shinrei Camera will feature three game modes: a story-driven adventure set in the same world as the rest of the Fatal Frame series; a minigame collection that uses the AR notebook; and a ‘ghost camera’ mode that allows you to snap supernatural pictures of yourself and your friends.
'Compared to previous Fatal Frame titles … there isn’t as much actual time spent with the game itself – that’s because you’ll also be spending time turning pages on the AR notebook and looking around in real life instead of moving your character around.’”
Like Fatal Frame IV, Nintendo will publish this in Japan, and has no plans yet to release this in the U.S.
