Why Fatal Frame III: The Tormented is Secretly Genius

  Addendum:<br>1) Since people are asking: I hadn&apos;t planned to cover further games in the series, but I&apos;m not saying it couldn&apos;t happen. It&apos;s a thing I certainly considered, that&apos;s not <b>planned</b> at the moment but that I might just get around to one day, we&apos;ll see.<br>2) I am incredibly sorry and embarrassed that I, somehow while making this video got a mnemonic twist in my brain and started referring to the protagonist as Rei Amakura instead of Rei Kurosawa.🙇 <br>This hurts my soul, haha...I totally have been aware that her last name is Kurosawa since I always found it cool that her last name was a nod to Kiyoshi Kurosawa, director of Kairo(Pulse) who heavily inspired the series - but somewhere during production I must have had gotten twist in my brain from &quot;Kei Amakura&quot; sounding so similar and neither I nor 2 people copy-editing the script ever once noticed it in the past weeks. Very strange indeed.<br>I have to take it with a laugh, but it&apos;s... painful. My Apologies.🤣

  the last thing rei said at the end of the game is so beautiful that even now i still get emotional every time i hear her say it: &quot;i&apos;ll go on living, even with the pain&quot;

  This game really got me. Does anyone remember that part where a pair of legs just randomly appears in the closet in Rei&apos;s house? After playing for a while, I saw them out of the corner of my eye, just for a second, then when I looked closer they were gone. Seriously thought I was going insane because why would there be legs there? It makes no sense. I don&apos;t think there&apos;s been another game that made me question my own sanity like that.

  The tormented is very underrated. Scared me more than the first two. Especially the home exploration parts.

  Fatal Frame III is my favorite in the series for a number of reasons: its deeply personal journey along with a refined game design and maps already make it a wonderful journey, but as stated it also brings the best aspects of the previous games and elevates them. My first experience with the game was, weirdly enough, enjoyed with friends: I was a FF1 veteran, while my best friend played only FF2, and we decided to play this game during a weekend. Even with company, it was such a haunting, heavy experience. At one point one of our friends decided to turn off the lights to enhance the experience and I had to turn it back on when I noticed my friend with tears of fear in her eyes -- and she had been playing horror games since the release of Resident Evil! This game is truly special.

  I find the manor of Sleep to the be the scariest place in the entire Fatal Frame series, due to one simple reason: The manor is in a dream world. Which means that people who have played the game could actually go to the manor of sleep in their own dreams as well. &nbsp;I have a few times and it was down right scary. Basically showing that the devs of Fatal Frame 3 made a world that is not only unforgettable but one that is impactful.
