Throughout the game, several ghosts refer to Mio as Yae and seem to expect her to perform the ritual with Mayu, with the exception of Itsuki, whose ghost tries to help her and Mayu escape, believing the two to be the Kurosawa twins.įatal Frame II uses gameplay mechanics very similar to its predecessor, with some changes and updates. This failed, resulting in the Repentance and the disappearance of the village. During their escape attempt, Sae was caught and brought back to the village, where she was hanged in a desperate attempt to satisfy the Hellish Abyss. The last pair of twins, Yae and Sae Kurosawa, tried to escape this fate, aided by Itsuki Tachibana, the remaining twin of a previous, unsuccessful ritual. In order to keep this hole sealed, a pair of twins born in the village is required to perform a ritual approximately every decade, in which the elder twin strangles the younger, after which the soul of the younger twin stays to guard the village as a crimson butterfly. Under the village there is a system of tunnels, and at its deepest point is a deep hole called the "Hellish Abyss", where the souls of the dead collect. While it seems abandoned, the twins soon realize that the tortured souls of the dead roam, forever reliving the day of the failed ceremony that trapped them in this state. Concerned for her twin, Mio follows, and the two girls are led to a village shrouded in fog. While they are there, Mayu finds and follows a mysterious red butterfly deep into the woods.

Twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura are visiting the spot where they used to play as children.
