In Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, the lines between your reality and the in-game reality have been blurred like never before. In the Story Mode, you will move forward within the game by using Nintendo 3DS Camera as the ‘Camera Obscura’, a mysterious camera that is central to the Project Zero series, to film your actual environment. You must master the mysterious Camera Obscura and use its unique powers to uncover the mystery behind a strange diary and battle against spirits using both AR and the unique Nintendo 3DS Camera.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is accompanied by a special AR Book known as the Purple Diary. You are the protagonist and are taken on an immersive supernatural journey that will utilise every facet of the Nintendo 3DS’ camera and Augmented Reality capabilities to scare you in brand new ways.
By using the Nintendo 3DS Camera and Augmented Reality functions to unlock the hidden content within each page of the Purple Diary, you can explore the mystery behind the diary and interact with 3D spirits who will either help or hurt you. Some spirits will even appear in the real world next to you and you can only see them by moving around your environment and looking through the Nintendo 3DS to find where they are lurking. Be careful because they might be behind you waiting to attack!
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir offers more than just an innovative story mode, there are a number of extra challenges and spooky mini games to master as well as unlocking the mysteries of the Purple Diary in story mode. The Spirit Check mode allows you to interact with your own face in the Purple Diary, after taking a photo of your face it will appear superimposed in the Purple Diary along with scary ghosts lurking in the environment. Spirit Challenge on the other hand assigns attributes such as Attack Power, Speed and HP to a picture of a face taken with the Nintendo 3DS camera allowing you to fight in a special version of a Story Mode battle. The Cursed Pages mode allows you to play through a collection of games using the Nintendo 3DS camera and the Purple Diary ranging from riddles to puzzles.
To master the Camera Obscura and battle cursed spirits in new and innovative ways then look no further than Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir for Nintendo 3DS .

Although not directly called a Project Zero game, the main mode in this game is called Project Zero: The Purple Diary and to be honest its an unique experience that you absolutely must try.
Given the length of this game, I won't directly spoil it, it will take you about 1-3 hours depending on your skill as a gamer but before you look away thinking this game isn't worth it, needless to say it is.
When opening up the game case for the first time after buying you will notice a weird looking diary book, although some may dismiss as a neat little extra this book is your game.
Although best played in the daytime due to the Camera requiring the light to read the book at specific points in the game, you can also play the game at night provided you have a bright enough light source such as a desk lamp.
Upon starting the game you are required to scan in the first page, doing this will magically transport you into a creepy looking house. Different sounds and the eery atmosphere makes the game feel every bit the horror game it advertises, using the Gyroscopic controls you can look around in any direction, and you need to stand up to play this game for the record.
Needless to say after a certain creepy scene you meet a young woman who tells you her story and you are 'brought back' to the real world which is because you have the Camera Obscura, but a nice surprise is, thanks to the Augmented reality function of the DS, the woman is in whatever room your playing this game with you, and you can chat to her to progress the story.
At one point very early into the game you have to use your 3DS as a Camera obscura and look around in your room for a ghost that has appeared from the game with your Camera Obscura and beat it. Which is kinda neat.... Read more ›

What Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir does it does very well. The "prop" of the purple diary which interacts with the game successfully brings the action of the game into the real world and casting the 3DS itself as a camera through which you interact with the spirit world is very clever. Overall it's an engaging premise and one which really drew me in.
It is also a technical improvement over the default AR games which come with the 3DS. It seems to track the real world much more accurately and is more ambitious which what it attempts to do. This game really demonstrates how AR techniques can create an immersive adventure game.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir has two major flaws. Firstly the camera requires a great deal of light to work. It seems a bit of a misfire to create a game based around horror tension and then have to either play it with all the lights on or play during the day.
Secondly, it is extremely short. I rattled through the story mode first time in about 2.5 hours and 30 minutes of that was due to the difficulty I had beating the final boss. There are some side modes which reprise the puzzles and battles of the main game and there is also a replay of the story with some additional plot, but really those looking for a deep adventure will be disappointed. This game is best viewed as a stylish remake of the 3DS' own built-in AR games and photo modes, although I felt that the default games came with more variety.
There's not much out in the market like this so it is worth a look, but I really hope someone can pick up where this game has left off and provide a much more in-depth adventure.

I don't get some of the complains about "Spirit Camera". This is an AR game that makes use of the gyroscope of the Nintendo 3DS console. Of course you can't play this in the dark (otherwise AR won't work), and of course you have to stand up and move (that's the point of using the gyroscope). If you don't like the idea, why bother buying it in the first place?
Once I've said that, let me start with my review.
This is a well executed attempt to bring a more extense AR experience into the 3DS catalog. It offers a good combination of different gameplay mechanics, with just the right dose of dialogues and video sequences in order to maintain a good flow and avoid becoming tedious. The "story mode" is short (about two and a half hours) but you can play it again with a new level of difficulty, and you have a good amount of "minigames" to enjoy once you have completed it. So is not that short overall, but maybe it's not worth the price for more than £15.
I'm not a fan of the "Project Zero" series or the japanese horror genre in general, but I find this game very enjoyable. It's probably not going to frighten you but it has several moments of tension and some imaginative ideas.
A good game that uses the Nintendo 3DS potential to give players new and fresh experiences.

While Spirit Camera draws me in, it doesn't quite manage to convince me that everything is happening in my house, despite its honest attempts. Sure, there were moments when shivers ran down my back, but quite frankly, there were only two of them... and I'm a coward at heart. Although this comes out like a bad thing, that's not necessarily the case as this turns Spirit Camera into a game that can be enjoyed by (technically) everyone. Of course, this isn't the game to play if you really want to be spooked, but that's not something you should expect to find for a handheld console anyways.
The AR booklet is a really great twist and adds a brilliant use of the 3DS. It's fun to use the in-built cameras and the gyro sensor to fight spirits as you feel like you are in complete control! Spirit Camera is a very nice addition to the list of 3DS games and it deserves more recognition.
THE GAME HAS 3 MAIN MODES:
1. Project Zero: The Purple Diary; includes story mode, eventually story mode extra (the battles are a little harder and you get some extra background story), scene selection, photo ops & battle mode (unlockable: photograph characters from story mode, rematch against all the spirits you encounter in the story)
2. Spirit Camera: Spirit Photography, Spirit Check, Spirit Challenge (mentioned in the product description)

One of the WORST 3DS games.
I picked this game out on the cheap, (£15) after hearing about how the AR was used and I also enjoy horror games. Read more

Spirit Camera is, to me, a great concept. It draws you into the action as no other 3DS game has, so far. Read more
