Fatal Frame 3DS Spinoff Coming to North America

Tecmo Koei's survival horror series, Fatal Frame, is once again coming to North America, this time as a spin-off titled Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir for the Nintendo 3DS.

Co-developed by Tecmo and Nintendo, Spirit Camera was released just last week in Japan. The game uses the system's built-in camera and augmented reality functions to create a personalized horror adventure that incorporates the player's own pictures and surroundings into the gameplay experience.

Spirit Camera focuses on a mysterious girl named Maya who is attempting to break free from a curse and an evil woman in black. The game will come with a 16-page AR book called the "diary of faces" that will be incorporated into gameplay. Viewing these AR images through the 3DS camera will bring characters, movies and segments of the game's story to life, shedding light on the mystery of Maya and her treacherous curse.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir will be released on April 13 (yes, that's Friday the 13 for anyone paying attention). For more on this horrifying 3DS title, stay tuned to IGN for all the latest.
