Hey there folks, welcome to the start of a brand new let's play! Project Zero is a classic survival horror game (the good old-fashioned kind), with a complete focus on Japanese ghosts and mansions. If you're looking for a house full of grudges, pain and sorrow, then look no further! ;). Oh yeah, I should probably mention that it was released in the year 2000 and is available on PS2 along with over PSN in America (and probably Japan; not the UK sadly). This will be the PS2 version.

Here's the opening for the game, to get us in the mood:


I've always loved to be scared so much by a game, and this is perfect for just that. Honestly, this is the series that has always scared me the most, because you don't have a traditional weapon and it's so easy to run out of ammo/health items :s. It's what made me nervous to actually pick this game for the series. However, my nervousness will probably make for good viewing (fingers crossed!), so I'm willing to give it a bash :D.

Thanks for checking out the opening guys :). See you next time for some key hunting, ghost avoiding, shit-scare inducing fun! ;)

P.S.
Due to this being a tough game for me (plus working times), this may not end up being daily, although I do aim for it to be regardless. In other words...pretty random uploads, I'd think :). Fair warning!

P.P.S.
None of this game has been made by me. All that's mine is the playing, commenting and video editing. Thank you Tecmo and Wanadoo for doing such a bang up job on Project Zero/Fatal Frame! :)
 
Episode 1 - Mafuyu The Shutterbug

https://youtu.be/XYRYcz3aQF4


Hey guys, meet Mafuyu. He decided he would enter a ghost infested mansion in order to find a journalist he aspires to be like 0_0.

Thanks for waiting! This episode covers the prologue (or "introduction"), where we see what Mafuyu comes up against when he first steps into Himuro mansion! We also get to see his fate...

Meet his sister too (Miku) who takes on the first night: the Strangling Ritual! Sounds positively like rainbows and unicorns will be meeting us as we head on into the mansion ha ;). Can't wait!

Thanks for watching! I'm actually a wee bit nervous, but we can do this! we can beat the first chapter lmao! :lew:

Video editing stuff; ignore if you don't care: Any feedback is always welcome. There aren't any subtitles, so I'm not certain if it's loud enough during cinematics etc (I did raise the volume at those points but it still may not be enough). I stretched the pic a bit too so that it fills the whole screen...though even in its old "box" form, it wasn't incredible visual quality. That's PS2 component cable recording for you.

Thanks again! :)
 
Episode 2 - Miku's Vanity

https://youtu.be/7TtxL_k8Hx8


Hey there folks, with Mafuyu all spirited away, it's time for his sister (Miku) to enter the fray! We have to try and save our bro!

There's plenty going on in this ep, from meeting the journalist ghosts, to finding the red hand mirror, to grabbing the brass key! Once we head up to the second floor with this key, it's about time for the mansion to become more of a maze...oh lord :/.

Thanks for watching! See you next time when we head on up! ;)
 
Episode 3 - The Doll Room

https://youtu.be/6FAg84-E6oA


Hey there folks, are you ready to head upstairs via the brass key? This new direction has a fair few puzzles for us to solve (those Japanese number puzzles though!), along with a few seals to break in order to gain access to some other rooms.

I always love how japanese horrrors make dolls so freaky! This game is no different. Keep an eye out for the child ghost! :s

Thanks for watching! We'll wrap up night 1 next time and meet a few bosses ;).
 
Episode 4 - Miku's Strangling

https://youtu.be/0CfdgOUNNjY


Hey all, are you ready for the last of night 1? While Miku could probably have escaped anytime she wanted before, now things are a bit different...

There are a few things going on in this part, from the buddha statue puzzle (are they buddhas? Bah!), to the boss! Watch the rage...just excuse the language :/. I'm thinking we're gonna have a tough time with night 2 considering our health stock is starting to dwindle :s. I think I may cry :(.

Thanks for watching! We'll check out Demon Tag tomorrow and dear lord...I hope it's a bit easier than night 1 :'(. I may need to strangle myself otherwise *goes to grab the rope*.
 
Episode 5 - If It Weren't For Those Meddling Kids!

https://youtu.be/eyQTVHmRzKw


Welcome to our second night at the mansion! This time around we have to deal with some ghost children who stole our mirror piece! They aren't easy to find or defeat either! During this episode, we take on the ghost girl of the well, who has such a stunning opening cinematic! We also have a new common ghost: the blind ghost! To beat her (though it's a bit late for me...), you just need to wait to fill up on power and don't shoot until the shutter moment. She won't attack unless you're really close, 'cause she can't see you :s.

Item-wise, we need to find that scroll for the doll's room. We find two carvings though (blueish white and purple) and take on the clock-number puzzle and another one of those sliding puzzles.

Thanks for watching! We'll head into a new part of the mansion next time...which I'm really nervous about. Look at our amazing display of health items :/.
 
Episode 6 - The Clock Struck One

https://youtu.be/HvR2TQb3mFQ


Hey there peoples! I'll keep it brief and to the point this time since most of the exciting things about this game are seeing the new key items and how you use them.

We finally found the demon tag scroll! We've grabbed ourselves some matches down in the demon mouth too, and even solved the candle puzzle! Finally, we nabbed the angry mask, which is the beginning of a severely tricky puzzle. At least for me. More on that next time! Thanks so much for watching! :)

P.S.
I love that clock scene with the ghost kid. Clocks are the best in horror movies/games/books :wacky:.
 
Episode 7 - Mummy Dearest

https://youtu.be/CgrMy-69PeQ


Ok, I hope I didn't completely misinterpret who that ghost is, but it showed Miku standing there and everything :s. Family death story (I think it's a suicide in the end?) that actually hits me in the feels a bit. I mean, I obviously don't show it 'cause I'm way too manly, but after the vid I thought about it more.

Other than that, we make tonnes of progress through the mansion and finally nab ourselves the angry mask! The solution to the doll puzzle is here too but...don't explain a deep explanation of it. Guess work for the win! :p

Thanks for watching! We'll be doing the mask puzzle next time and stuff. I'm pretty sure I said this last time but...I got confuzzled :s.
 
Episode 8 - The Haunted Mask

https://youtu.be/ozAmIwRfyQU


Hey there folks! I hope someone got the title ha...I loved it as a kid :). Anyways, this time around we finally take on the mask maze, where we see a whole variety of emotions! Will these masks come to life? Will they attack? Will they become possessed? Maybe!

We take on a kind of mini-boss too within the new shrine/buddha room, whoturns out to be a bit of a pain in the arse. It's worth it though to nab the greatest mask of all! The reflection mask!

Finally, we're able to check out a new garden, which is nice and colourful. Or something else. This whole new area is just so full of atmosphere...even more than the rest of the mansion imo.

Thanks for watching! Now that night 2 is over and done with, we'll be checking out the night of the calamity next time...and oh lord, what a night that is :s.
 
Episode 9 - Kirie's Moon Shrine

https://youtu.be/CLzi5VVUnnM


Hey peoples, we made it to night 3! The calamity is what made everything go ever so freaky in this mansion, so we have the whole ritual to thank for that. Maybe it was a necessary evil though?

Throughout this episode, we come to realise that the entire night will be focused on the moon shrine in the atrium (that small outbuilding that we couldn't access during the other nights). To gain entry, we need to find the teal carving in order to solve the puzzle and enter. Speaking of puzzles, there's a pretty big puzzle involving some ceremonial rope and huge buddha statues back in the buddha room...
Otherwise, it's a matter of gathering some healing items ready for such a tough part. It looks like we need to hunt down 4 priest ghosts and...maybe something else too ;).

Thanks for watching! We'll go for the priests next time and see what the moon shrine has in store! Oh lord ha.

P.S. The series is all recorded now! There'll be 12 episodes total and it's all rendered so it'll be daily from here on out. Thank you! :)
 
Episode 10 - Exorcising Priests!

https://youtu.be/0vlP_brrwVw


The irony of this part lmao. Welcome to our little run around the mansion, hunting down the four lovable priests who took part in the ritual! There's not a lot more to be said about it really, but that last priest is a right pain in the arse! Beware the speed. Bewaaaaare 0_0.

Thanks for watching! See you next time when we go for the last of night 3 and see what's in the moon shrine :s.
 
Episode 11 - Blood Trail

https://youtu.be/rDOlMNvUrq4


Hi peoples, welcome to the last of night 3! This time around, we finally see what the moon shrine as in store for us once we've solved all the puzzles/hunted down the priests etc! Before we can enter though, there's still the matter of finding the Master's Seal, which can only be obtained by beating the master of the ritual 0_0.

~Blood may be the answer~

Thanks for watching! We'll be wrapping up the series next time by taking on the final night! I wonder if we'll escape from the mansion with our bro? I wonder if we'll encounter the good or the evil part of Kirie? (I still can't pronounce her name by the way lmao). See you there! :)
 
Episode 12 ~Thanks For Watching!~

https://youtu.be/VUvieS573AM


Hey peoples! It's time for us to wrap up Project Zero! The final night is all about Kirie and finally seeing how it all came together! We also get to see if our Miku survives...or her brother 0_0.

That's all I'll say. Thank you so much for watching this series and supporting me throughout :). I've loved making this series, even if I sounded like a moany old git now and again. It's stressful, I tells ya! We'll kick off the next series tomorrow...it's something ever so different from this lmao. I'm really excited about it; more than I've been about an LP for yonks! I've put so much effort into the first episode and am gonna push myself to do so throughout *fingers crossed*. I hope so much to see you there :).
