Abstract: 3DSSpirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is a spin-off game of the popular Fatal Frame series for the Nintendo 3DS. As befitting the series, the game has you equipped with a camera that, by taking pictures of ghosts, can exorcise the vengeful spirits. For t...
Abstract: Let’s get this out of the way right now: Spirit Camera, though it claims to be a spin-off of the effective Fatal Frame games, is actually just an AR game. In fact, you can’t play Spirit Camera if you don’t have the required “Cursed Memoir” booklet righ...
