Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly video game

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, known in Japan as Rei: Akai Chou, is a landmark survival horror title originally developed and published by Tecmo in 2003. The series is celebrated for its unique gameplay mechanic where players fend off ghosts using a camera. While the original game was a Japanese creation, physical manufacturing for modern console versions like the USK/PEGI European release shown here typically occurs in various locations including Austria or Germany for the European market.

The brand is currently owned by Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd., which was formed through the 2009 merger of Tecmo and Koei. Koei Tecmo remains a prominent Japanese developer and publisher, headquartered in Yokohama. The franchise is a core part of their legacy portfolio, continuing to receive remasters and support across modern platforms like the PlayStation 5. Production of physical discs and packaging is outsourced to specialized media manufacturing facilities globally depending on the distribution region.
