Chilla’s Art Unveils Cursed Digicam – Fatal Frame-Inspired Horror Coming January 10

Chilla’s Art, known for its chilling and atmospheric horror experiences, is set to release Cursed Digicam on January 10, 2025, for PC (Steam). Following its signature style of creating unsettling and immersive environments, Cursed Digicam presents a unique, photo-taking ghost-hunting mechanic reminiscent of the iconic Fatal Frame series.

In Cursed Digicam, players find themselves in possession of a mysterious camera capable of capturing images of spirits. The story unfolds as you explore eerie locales, starting with a park, where your camera helps unravel the supernatural events tied to a loved one’s disappearance. Each ghostly snapshot taken provides more clues, ultimately leading you down a dark path.

The game is notably different from other titles by Chilla’s Art, such as The Bathhouse and Parasocial, in that it offers a single ending, making for a more focused, albeit grim, narrative. Expect an emotionally haunting conclusion that aligns with their reputation for crafting narratives with intense and melancholic tones.

Graphically, Cursed Digicam marks a significant shift for Chilla’s Art, as it is the studio’s first project built with Unreal Engine 5. This leap in technology promises enhanced visuals, offering players a more immersive and terrifying experience with realistically detailed environments like dimly lit parks and ominous public spaces. The game’s haunting atmosphere is further complemented by eerie imagery, such as a ringing public phone and creepy, decaying playground equipment.

The gameplay centers around taking photos of the supernatural, with the player controlling the camera, snapping images of ghosts, and exploring the haunting scenes that unfold. The game’s simple yet effective mechanic draws players into a cycle of discovery, as each photo reveals more about the sinister forces at play.

The studio has built a loyal following, particularly among content creators and streamers, including many VTubers, who gravitate towards the studio’s ability to create deeply unsettling experiences. Titles like Jigoku Sento Restored Edition have garnered praise, and Cursed Digicam is expected to continue the trend of attracting horror enthusiasts and streamers alike.

They have become synonymous with psychological horror that blends old-school techniques with modern-day technology, and with Cursed Digicam, they’re poised to deliver yet another memorable experience.

Mark your calendars for January 10, 2025—Cursed Digicam is coming to Steam, and it promises to be a terrifying new chapter for Chilla’s Art fans.
