A horror game where the player is a young student who gets lost in an abandoned village along with some colleagues and a teacher and everything goes wrong.

Of the various places the player visits, he will encounter some hostile beings where the only weapon to defend himself is his cell phone or camera.

There are some puzzles to do to continue the game, but also jumpscares.

One of the things I liked about this game is the fact that it has a Ghostpedia based on Indonesian folklore and sometimes part of other cultures.

However, I found that the controls during the battles between bosses and common enemies, are a little frustrating, because the slowness of the protagonist to get up or when she is in the first person to take pictures of the enemies is a pain in the ass if you want to get away.

However it is still an interesting game to play. For those who have never played Fatal Frame and are curious, I invite you to play this game.

buggy as fudge and I had script errors making the game unbeatable. Hard pass.
