Fatal Frame 2 takes players to a whole new creepy setting, an abandoned village, where they play the role of Mio Amakura, a young girl who is gifted with a strong sixth sense. Mio and her twin sister, Mayu, return to a town in which they have spent many of their childhood years, while wandering around the nostalgic hamlet Mayu notices a crimson butterfly faintly glowing in the sky. Mayu chases it into the dark forest and Mio unwillingly follows her sister into the forest’s depths. The sisters stumble upon a deserted village which becomes the spooky setting for yet another horrifying tale in Fatal Frame 2.
