Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir Unboxing October 3, 2012

Keeping with our theme of scary games for the month of October, Maniac unboxes a unique game in the 3DS library, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir.  Based off the Fatal Frame series, Spirit Camera turns the Nintendo 3DS into the Camera Obscura and allows you to investigate a very special book that is included with the game package, the Diary of Faces.

A few side notes about the game that were brought up in the video.  There was a short horror film produced as part of a viral campaign for the game prior to its release.  It served to make game which already focused on augmented reality seem all the more real.  I like when the line between reality and game is blurred like this.  This was the version done for North America.

Apparently there is a Japanese short film as well.

Secondly, the preview event that was referenced did get promotional coverage of it on Nintendo Show 3D, which is a bi-weekly 3D video series on the Nintendo eShop.  For those of you who don’t have a 3DS and as such no access to the show, here’s the clip of the Spirit Camera event downsampled to glorious 2D.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is out now exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.  You can expect a review soon.
