A bit of new gaming

[estirose]

I got Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir for $12. I've gotten through the prologue so far.

So far, it's safe to say this is a Fatal Frame game. It's not as spooky (or to some extent, gory) as the main series so far, but I did have a bit of a jump scare when my companion in the game showed up on my floor.

The game relies a lot on AR and moving your DS around. On one hand, it's kind of neat because you can look at the hallway. On the other, sometimes it's not too precise - it has me looking for the cause of a sound, and the first time, even though I could see the cause, it didn't register. Also, the AR sequences rely a lot on being able to line the inner and outer circles, something I'm not very good at. That being said, I'm enjoying it so far and can't wait to see how they implement ghost battles

This is supposed to be a short game, which is good because I'd like to write fanfic for it more than anything, and there are an understandable lack of let's plays on Youtube.

NEAT!

I like it when I'm not battling giant ghost hands (and that's as spoilery as I'll get).

Do you have to do the circles in a certain time limit?

I'm glad you got an affordable copy and that it's an interesting game!

[estirose]

No, you have all the time to line up circles. On the other hand, if you let a ghost get too close, you will have a game over. (That hand on the cover? It's not just there to make the cover look spooky, let's put it that way.)

And yes, new, with the AR book!

That's great! I like being able to get games for less than full price. I have a bunch of games that I bought used and stuff. And the AR booklet is important.

So you have to be fast with some things? Sorry, I'm just wondering how frustrating it would be for me to play. I'm okay with creepy stuff usually, but since my reaction speed is slow, timed stuff can make me a bit anxious.
