2023 Storyline Is Based on a Dream

Title: Storyline Is Based on a Dream

Folklore Type: memorate, dream

Contents:

"The storyline [for Fatal Frame 2] is based on a dream I had after the initial project concluded. Thinking back about it, I recall it being a complete dream in many ways. The dream was scary, magical and traumatic, and it had a perfect plot — even with a title and a structured ending. Thus, it was simply a case of how to interpret the dream and recreate it as a game."

Context:

In this blog excerpt, Shibata discusses how the narrative for Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly comes from one of his dreams.

This blog post was the second of three he wrote for the PlayStation.blog site. This blog post was made just ahead of the release of Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly to the PlayStation Network, making the game available for digital download for the first time.
