Overview
Fatal Frame, which is also known as Project Zero in Europe and Australia, and Zero in Japan, was released in 2001 by Tecmo, and since then several more games have followed. Each game relies heavily on the horror game template, initially using a fixed camera perspective for the first three titles. Starting with the fourth game, the series utilizes an over-the-shoulder third person camera. The series sets itself apart by using less violence and gore and focusing on creating a tense and ultimately terrifying experience. Each game draws heavy influence from Japanese horror films such as the Pang Brother's, "The Eye" series and Takashi Shimizu's "Ju-on: The Grudge", which translates well into the horror franchise.

In 2012, Nintendo partnered with Koei Tecmo to develop future Fatal Frame titles. This has mistakenly been reported as Nintendo buying the IP or co-owning the IP which is not the case. The Fatal Frame/Zero IP is fully owned by Koei Tecmo. However, Nintendo does own the publishing rights to the Fatal Frame II Wii remake, Fatal Frame IV as well as Spirit Camera. The Spirit Camera IP is owned by Nintendo. The company had previously co-produced and published Fatal Frame IV (2008) in Japan, and done the same for a Wii remake of Fatal Frame II (2012) which Nintendo of Europe also localized and published for the European and Australian market, along with a 3DS spin-off under the name Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir (2012) which is the only Fatal Frame related title to have been released in every territory since the Nintendo partnership.
