Nintendo has released a live-action short horror film to promote the release of Spirit Camera: A Cursed Memoir, an augmented reality Fatal Frame spin-off for Nintendo 3DS. It released the game in Japan earlier this year and will release it here in the United States on April 13.
In Spirit Camera: A Cursed Memoir, players use the Nintendo 3DS cameras and an augmented reality booklet called the “Purple Diary” to detect ghosts hiding in their real world surroundings.
The story mode is loosely tied to the Fatal Frame series of Japanese horror games, in which players battle ghosts and uncover clues with their “Purple Diary.”
The new feature is a separate mode that allows players to take photographs of the real world to reveal evil spirits. Pointing the 3DS camera at themselves or a friend will also determine if the person is “haunted.”
