The Fatal Frame II Crimson Butterfly Remake demo is officially live for horror fans to download today. This trial version of the survival horror classic arrived on Steam, the US PlayStation Store, and Xbox consoles without much warning.
The demo covers the opening sections of the game. You take control of Mio Amakura as she searches for her twin sister, Mayu, within the haunted village of Minakami.
One of the best features of this release is that your save data carries over to the full game. Any progress you make or items you collect in the demo will be waiting for you when the retail version launches.

Editor’s Take
Fatal Frame II is widely considered the peak of the series. While it was remade once before for the Nintendo Wii, that version was notoriously region-locked to PAL and JP territories, leaving North American fans in the dark. Seeing a modern, global remake is a major event for the survival horror genre.
Providing a Fatal Frame II Crimson Butterfly Remake demo that respects your time by carrying over save data is a smart move. It allows players to soak in the atmosphere of Minakami Village without the frustration of replaying the opening hour later this year.
