Ghost Camera combines the horror of Fatal Frame with augmented reality capabilities

Hi, my name is William Kee and I'm a 20-year old Journalism student at Humber College in Toronto, Canada. I'm more bound for broadcast journalism, but I do write for my own blog called GTA Gamers, as well as run a Youtube channel called "Will173 Productions" (will173), where I create video blogs, video game commentary, fun with friends, book reviews, etc etc. My favorite genres of video gaming are rhythm games (eg. Rock Band), and survival horror.

Tecmo Koei is at it again. The creators of the spooky Japanese horror series Fatal Frame are working on “Ghost Camera”, a new game to be released in Japan that will utilize AR (Augmented Reality) capabilities.

Using the 3DS camera, players will be able to snuff out and hunt for spooky stuff in the real world. According to Andriasang.com, the game will also come with an AR Notebook, known as the “Violet Journal”, which players will be able to scan with the 3DS camera as youplay, and will also be the source of many ghosts and other mysterious things which you will have to clear.

Ghost Camera is set to be released in Japan on January 12th, at a price of ¥3,800.

Here are some screenshots from the game, as well as the AR capabilities attached using the 3DS with the notebook.

    Uh, sorry, but this article does not do the game justice. Valuable information has not been written in this article, such as the game being a spin-off of Fatal Frame set in the same universe, having a story mode that revolves around a violet-colored notebook, the game play modes, etc.
