Note: The American version, Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, was cancelled.

Following the premise of the previous instalments in the franchise, the player is expected to fight off hostile spirits using the signature "weapon" of the series, the "Camera Obscura", along with the new Spirit Flashlight, a "torch" that uses moonlight to exorcise spirits. The player uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to aim the camera and flashlight, creating a more realistic and tactile experience.

Not all spirits encountered are hostile, and the player will be able to tell the difference depending on the color of the glow of the on-screen Ghost Filament. As with the previous titles in the series some photos of "seals", or "mists" on doors, may offer clues to progressing further in the level. A new filament, the Item Filament, was added, used to direct the player towards items they may pick up. The more accurate the aim/distance to the item, the brighter blue the filament will glow.
