2005 Dead People Are Watching the Game

Title: Dead People Are Watching the Game

Folklore Type: memorate

Contents:

"For me, it is not just a video game, but precious artwork, created with careful detail. I strongly believe that the game experience of Fatal Frame III will be special in video-game history. I hope that you play the game and have this artistic experience.

One of the reasons that I paid attention to details on this game is that dead people are watching the game while you are playing. I know it. And dead people would care in detail. This game is also for dead people, and I can proudly show the game to them."

Context:

In this blog excerpt, Shibata asserts his belief that the dead are watching as a player plays through Fatal Frame III: The Tormented.

This excerpt is taken from a series of blog posts, called "Developer Diaries" written ahead of the release of Fatal Frame III: The Tormented for North America in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 platform. These posts are intended to give insight into the process of developing a given game, as well as act as a source of PR for the game's release.
