Get the details below.
Fatal Frame: Lunar Eclipse Mask takes place on an island in Rogetsu in southern Japan, a decade after five girls mysteriously disappear during a moonlight festival. When two of the girls are found dead within days of each other, ten years after their initial disappearances, the remaining three teenagers return to the haunted island to solve the mystery of their friends’ deaths and their confusing memories, while they meet the frightening spirits that inhabit the earth. .
On the way, they will enter Haibara’s infirmary. This old hospital is now in ruins, but it’s where Dr. Haibara’s trials to cure ‘Moonlight Syndrome’ eventually proved deadly. The girls will also return to Rogetsu Hall, a sanatorium built for the treatment of “moonlight syndrome”. It is a hotel-like building attached to Haibara’s infirmary where only “special guests” can be admitted. Locals refer to Haibara Infirmary as the “old building” and Rogetsu Hall as the “new building”.
Other notable places to explore include the Cape Tsukiyomi Lighthouse and Yomotsuki Residence. The closest point to the moon on the island, the lighthouse holds special significance to the moon-worshipping residents. An ancient shrine has been relocated to the top of the lighthouse. Meanwhile, Yomotsuki Mansion is the birthplace of one of the missing girls, Ruka Minazuki, and visiting this house brings back a flood of important memories. It is also the home of Ruka’s father, the venerable maskmaker named Soya Yomotsuki. Soya is obsessed with perfecting the “Lunar Eclipse Mask” and has been accused by Ruka’s mother Sayaka Minazuki of playing a role in Ruka’s disappearance! To reveal the truth behind their disappearance and shocking deaths, Ruka and her friends must battle ghostly spirits and a wanted assassin in their quest to uncover the secrets of their lost memories.
