In recent years, the video game market has been inundated with a wave of remasters, many of which appear to follow a predictable formula.

Despite boasting superb technical execution, the latter regrettably failed to achieve the commercial success its quality deserved. This context now leads us to examine the position of Project Zero 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake within this evolving landscape.
