I've been meaning to revisit this survival horror classic for a while now, and I was glad to find it was still as enjoyable as when I first discovered it. The game is set in an abandoned Japanese mansion with a dark, brutal history that you successively uncover while searching for your older brother. The mansion is absolutely brimming with ghosts, and a lot of them are hostile towards you. The only way to defend yourself is through taking pictures of them with an old camera. The controls are a little clunky, but the slow movement speed and hard-to-manage combat system adds to the tense atmosphere. I initially struggled far more than even necessary, because I instinctively wanted to raise the camera by hitting R1 instead of circle, which had me missing a lot of the ambient ghost photos until I reconfigured the controls. Another issue was that I didn't realize I could upgrade my camera until after the second encounter with the Long-Armed Man. The fights became a fair amount easier after I figured that part out. It's not as frightening as it was when I was younger, naturally, but the aesthetic and atmosphere is impeccable, and the story kept me interested all the way through. There was only a few times I got stuck and had to search up some clues, namely finding the fifth Buddha statue (the hint wasn't very clear) and needing help with the Number Doors since I can't read kanji.
