Appearance of Wraiths
Spirits can appear when least expected. They may grab Mio's hand when reaching for an item, or await beyond a door recently opened, reminding players that danger lurks in every shadow.
Quick reactions allow players to evade these sudden attacks, but failure to do so will result in Willpower Damage, leading directly into an intense battle against wraiths.

New feature: Hold Mayu's Hand
A new gameplay feature has been introduced in this title: the ability to hold hands with Mayu.
By holding her hand, players can restore both Health and Willpower. However, when Mayu is in danger, she may fall, requiring Mio to get close and help her up.
Holding hands allows players to feel the sisters’ bond more deeply throughout the story.

volved Camera Obscura
The series’ signature system—repelling wraiths by photographing them with the Camera Obscura—returns in this title, now enhanced with new functions such as focus, zoom, and switching filters.
These additions expand the depth of gameplay, allowing for a richer use of the Camera Obscura in both exploration and combat.

Using Camera Obscura in Battles
By raising the Camera Obscura and taking a shot, players can attack wraiths.
Aligning the focus point with a wraith increases the amount of damage dealt.

Shutter Chance
When the damage inflicted on a wraith exceeds a certain threshold, it enters a Shutter Chance state.
During this brief moment, players can deal great damage with the Camera Obscura.
However, the opportunity vanishes after a single shot—so timing and precision are key to strike at the perfect moment.

Fatal Frame / Fatal Time
By capturing a wraith at just the right moment—such as when it attacks—the player can trigger a Fatal Frame, staggering the enemy and interrupting its attack.
If a Fatal Frame is successfully taken during a Shutter Chance, the player enters Fatal Time, a brief window that allows for consecutive shots with the Camera Obscura, dealing great damage to the wraith.

New Features of Camera Obscura
Focus
When the focus is proprerly aligned, both the wraiths and the markers that appear on their faces become clearly visible.
The better you focus, the greater the damage dealt when taking a shot.
Time your capture when the auto-focus locks onto the target to inflict massive damage.
You can also adjust the focus manually.

Zoom
By zooming in, players can stay hidden behind cover and attack wraiths from a distance without being detected. On the other hand, zooming out allows for wider shots that capture multiple targets at once.
Some objects can only be photographed by using the zoom function, making it a valuable tool not only in battle but also during exploration.

Filter
Filters have their own unique functions in combat and exploration, and mysteries of the village can be unravelled while switching between filters depending on the situation or wraiths you encounter.
The Paraceptual Filter can increase the shooting distance in combat, and in exploration, it can reproduce past actions that remain as residual memories.
