Fatal Frame
When looking back on Fatal Frame, everyone always talks about the second game, Crimson Butterfly. And while the original isn’t quite as polished, it still introduced several key mechanics like the Camera Obscura. The series’ brand of survival horror took shape here, offering a mix of puzzle-solving, exploration and ghost-hunting. Reviews were above average at the time but it only sold a measly 42,000 units in Japan as of 2014. Oddly enough, despite selling only 12,000 units in Europe at launch on the PS2, Fatal Frame was deemed an unexpected success for the developer in the West.
