Okay kiddo, so have you ever played a game where you take pictures of things? Maybe even selfies with your friends? Well, Fatal Frame is a game kind of like that, but with a scary twist.
In Fatal Frame, you play as a character who is exploring a really creepy place, like an old haunted mansion or a spooky village. There are ghosts all around you and they want to hurt you! But don't worry, you have a special camera called a "Camera Obscura" that can help protect you.
You use this camera to take pictures of the ghosts, and that's where the game gets really interesting. When you take a picture of a ghost, it hurts them and makes them disappear for a little while. But if you take a picture of them at just the right time, when they are really close to you, you can do even more damage!
The goal of the game is to explore the scary place, solve puzzles, and fight as many ghosts as you can. But watch out, because if the ghosts hurt you too much, your character might die!
So, the short version is: Fatal Frame is a scary game where you take pictures of ghosts to fight them and survive.
