So, how have I never come across this game before?
Kowai shashin: Shinrei Shashin Kitan (scary photograph(s): Ghost Photo Tales)* seems like a fascinating #PS1 horror game that I will add to my Obon list.
The game is prohibitively expensive because it is allegedly Haunted for really reals. But why doesn't this game make the usual horror game lists? We often see Fatal Frame, Clock Tower, etc. But I can't think of an instance where this game has been talked about on those typical listicles.
I feel I need to investigate spirit photography a bit more, in general, and not just in this game...
My limited experience with Japanese ghost stories is that they typically have absolutely zero chill, so this could be a disturbing time.
*lazily translated, kitan is in this instance is probably more like mysteries than tales.
