I think these are all very useful aspects for the game itself as well. In addition, when the main character gets wet their appearance changes, their senses become sharper and the music changes. While this is just based on my own experiences, in order for a ghost to appear, a certain level of humidity is required. As a result, I started to believe that water was a medium that connects our world to the world of the dead, so water seemed to be the perfect theme for this title. Makoto S: I was able to touch a ghost once before, and it was like a soul made up of steam. Matt S: Water is a clear motif throughout Maiden of Black Water – what theme were you looking to convey through the motif, and why was that important? I think giving the player this kind of rule to work around is perfectly suited to the horror game genre. You are forced to look directly at horrifying things and get them to come towards you as close as possible in order to deal greater damage to them. Makoto S: The Camera Obscura battles in the Project Zero series were intentionally created to infuse the horror elements into the gameplay. What was the creative reasoning behind this approach? However, Project Zero has stuck to its original intent in so many ways. Matt S: The horror genre has evolved a great deal over the years – consider the original Resident Evil to Village – the genre has become more action-based and visceral. Will it turn things around and rejuvenate one of Koei Tecmo’s long-suffering (commercially) masterpiece series (in terms of artistic value and credibility)? I certainly hope so.Īhead of the game’s release on all modern platforms in a few days, we had the opportunity to put some questions to the series director, Shibata Makoto, about what the team aims for with the Project Zero series and why, in a genre so well known for being so grotesque (horror) do they make their games so utterly beautiful. It’s also one of the last Wii U exclusives to get a second run off the console. It was an ultra-niche title released on a console that really didn’t do good numbers. Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water never got a fair run on the Wii U.
