Been running through old PS1 and 2 games I have owned since teenage years, starting a few months ago, mostly to have an excuse to finally make use of the big screen tv instead of my PC, but also because most of these games I haven't touched in eight years or more.
The one in that line-up that I am on right now is Fatal Frame 3, a survival horror installment that seems to involve a lot of Japanese folklore and mythology in its story and presentation. Where you play mainly as Rei Kurosawa, a young woman wracked with survivor's guilt over her fiancee's recent death, who dreams nightly of wandering a haunted place called the Manor of Sleep, which is filled with ghosts of victims of tragedy wandering aimlessly, reliving the terrible events that claimed them. Her only defense against malevolent ghosts, as she explores the place and tries to unravel the mystery of what all has happened there and her own connection to it (as well as her two friends Miku and Kei whom you also play as on occasion and each have their own past traumas to sort out through their wanderings in the Manor of Sleep), is ... a camera. A camera capable of fending off the ghosts when you capture their image with it. .... Might sound dumb that you fight off evil forces in this game with a camera instead of, well, a gun or something, but I actually find each of the games in the Fatal Frame series to be quite immersive and fascinating. And most of all classy. ^-^
