GHOSTS OR RAPTORS?

A ghost in your viewfinder. A raptor closing the distance. Two different kinds of survival horror—and only one place in the semifinals.

Cimmarians, the third quarterfinal of CIM // VERSUS 001: Classic Survival Horror is open:

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (2003)
vs.
Dino Crisis (1999)

Fatal Frame II asks you to hold your nerve and face the thing haunting you through a camera lens. Dino Crisis puts teeth and claws behind the next corner. Both know how to make you hesitate—but which deserves to survive this round?
