10 Disturbing Video Games You Can NEVER Play Alone
6. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly
Recently given a friendly nod in Super Smash Ultimate as an Assist Trophy, the Fatal Frame series is a classic take on paranormal ghost stories, bringing Japanese folklore to life in eerie, disturbing fashion across five different instalments.
Above all else, it's Fatal Frame II that is consistently marked as the best in the series - where we play as Mio, closely followed by her sister Mayu, as they explore an exceptionally creepy ghost town.
It's never a well-lit cityscape full of friendly people, is it?
Armed with the power of their Camera Obscura - which is a camera that has the power to excise angry ghosts should they get grabby from the afterlife - the sisters must try not to get sucked into a ritual sacrifice by said spooky dead people, rendering the whole experience rather horrifying as a whole load of ghosts really want to see you get strangled.
Filled with hellish visions and a dark underground abyss where souls are collected, Crimson Butterfly is a strange, scary experience to attempt to get through.
Since players couldn't finish the first game to it being so terrifying, Fatal Frame II was designed with an even more involving storyline, alongside improved visuals and gameplay to make everything far more intense whilst simultaneously engrossing. A nasty trick, that.
