Project Zero 2: Wii Edition is a remake of the classic survival horror game Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly and sees you take on the role of Mio as she explores a mysterious cursed village with her twin sister Mayu. When Mayu follows a crimson butterfly deep into the woods, Mio has no choice but to follow, and eventually they stumble across a seemingly abandoned village. Only by helping the girls to uncover the secrets of an ancient ritual and the abandoned village, now permanently shrouded in an eerie darkness, can you hope to escape its grasp.

As you explore the dark and foreboding village, it becomes apparent that you are not alone and the twins are attacked by the ghosts of the former inhabitants. The spirits that haunt the village can only be defeated by using the Camera Obscura, a mythical weapon that allows you to interact with the spirit world.
