About the game:
Project Zero was my most favorite horror-survival game. Tecmo has done a really great job creating this game. This game was different from other horror-survival. No more shotguns to blast zombies into pieces and no more zombies to be blast into pieces. The graphics and sounds were done greatly, while the gameplay was awesome. I highly recommend this game to every PS2 owners.

All Items and places name used in this walkthrough were made by myself and was not the Official names. This is because I can’t read Japanese :P
This walkthrough was for the Normal difficulty but I think it still can be use as a reference for the Nightmare mode.
One more thing, please use this walkthrough as seldom as possible, this is because Project Zero was more enjoyable when u're playing it by yourself. Anyway, enjoy!
