Just like the other games in the series, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a fairly slow horror game in which you explore different environments that are plagued by many ghoulish entities. There are also quite a few voiced lines in Japanese, and the cries of the ghosts once again add to the overall spooky atmosphere. You’ll have to deal with a lot of creepy sounds, and it’s sometimes quite stressful to figure out which ones belong to hostile ghouls and which don’t. The game doesn’t use a lot of music during the gameplay segments and instead, you’ll have more atmospheric sound effects that at times just raise the hair at the back of your neck. Of course, as you’re moseying around in the dark, this does make a bit of sense. We are not talking about the increasing film grain that occurs when ghosts are nearby, but the actual overall muddy image quality. The rest of the game also received a new lick of paint, but we couldn’t help but feel that most of the game’s environments and even the ghosts looked a bit muddy. These all look nicely sculpted and the girls almost look like cute porcelain dolls. For the most part, you can see the game has updated textures, and these are clearly visible when looking at the game’s different characters. Graphically the game left us with mixed feelings. As you progress through the game, the puzzle pieces will start to connect, but it does take a while before things truly get started. The original group of five girls has dwindled down to two, and it seems that soon maybe all of them may perish. You’ll be looking for clues about your past, as you went through an extremely traumatic event together with four other girls. You’ll start the game by exploring an old mental facility on a deserted island. Truth be told when you first dive into the game, you’ll barely have any idea of what is going on. While we did enjoy this atmospheric J-Horror title, we also felt that it could have received a bit more love, especially when it comes to the game’s controls. Now, roughly a year and a half later, we get the rerelease of Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, another spooky entry in the series. We quite enjoyed this scary ordeal, and we did hope for more of the FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO games to be modernized for our entertainment. Back in 2021, we took a closer look at Maiden of Black Water when it was rereleased for all current relevant platforms.
