Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a survival horror video game developed by Tecmo, Nintendo SPD and Grasshopper Manufacture. The fourth installment in the Fatal Frame series and the first on a Nintendo console, it was released in 2008 by Nintendo for the Wii in Japan. A remaster for eighth and ninth generation consoles and Windows published by Koei Tecmo will be released worldwide in 2023. The story, set on the fictional Rougetsu Island, focuses on Ruka Minazuki, one of a group of girls who was held captive on the island for unknown reasons. Years after their rescue, still suffering from amnesia, Ruka and the two surviving girls return to the island to seek out the truth. The game's title stems from a ritual mask key to the story. The gameplay, as with previous entries in the series, revolves around the main character exploring environments and tackling hostile ghosts using the Camera Obscura.

This is a survival horror game in which players follow the story of kidnapped survivors as they revisit a mysterious island. From a third-person perspective, players explore the island and its buildings while searching for clues/tools in order to progress. Along the way, players can encounter ghosts that startle (jump scares), attack, and/or kill players' character. Players can defend themselves with an old camera (Camera Obscura), capturing images of the ghosts that can make them disappear/dissipate. Players can also use the camera to make black-and-white spectral images; these stylized still-screens sometimes depict gore: a faceless corpse; a bag with severed hands; a peeled face skin offering; barbed wire covering a character's throat, with blood stains. The words “b*tch” and “bastard” appear in the game.
