Taking place in [[TheEighties 1980s]] Japan, the ''Fatal Frame'' series explores a territory that surprisingly few survival horror games approach: [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]]. Each game takes place in a haunted locale that had been victim to a supernatural disaster in the recent past, with the protagonists visiting the area due to a desire to investigate the history or because they themselves are linked to it in some way. Their only source of defense against the copious amounts of spirits haunting the mountains and abandoned homes being explored is the Camera Obscura, an occult item created in the 1800s that uses special film that grants it the ability to exorcise and pacify violent spirits. Of course, you can't just take a picture of them from across the room, as to deal maximum damage to a ghost, the player must let them get as close as possible before getting a photo.
