10 Video Games Too Scary To Finish
9. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
If you're new to Fatal Frame, or Project Zero in the UK, it's a series that sees protagonists in various haunted locations having to fight ghosts using a camera. Yep. These spooky apparitions can only be defeated by going into a first-person mode and getting up close and personal with them. Lovely.
There are multiple games in the franchise, but Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly is widely regarded as the best by fans. It follows two young sisters who enter a ghost town and uncover its shocking secrets. It's a grim story filled with themes of death, cultish sacrifices and twisted traditions. As the sisters explore and reveal the secrets of the past, they are personally drawn towards horrifying fates.
Fatal Frame 2 may be an older game, but it is still just as terrifying now as it was back when it was released almost twenty years ago. It's peak Japanese horror and if you're a fan of the genre, it's an absolute must-play. Whether you finish it or not is an entirely different story.
