How it feels

A slow, low-budget creep through grainy haunted photographs, tense quick-time jolts breaking up otherwise quiet unease.

About

Kowai Shashin is a horror game released for the Sony Playstation in 2002, it is vagyuely similar to the Fatal Frame series. Gameplay consists of finding a spirit in a creepy photograph, and catching it trough a quick time event. There“s an urban legend around the game, considering it a cursed one, because of supposed deaths and hauntings during the development (which isn't true, at least, no one died during the making of the game).
