Jump to: navigation, search

The following timeline spans through the events that occur in Fatal Frame 1 - Fatal Frame 3 as well as information mentioned from the various Fatal Frame Fanbook and Gameguides (I do not have the Real零 : Another Edition or Zero Sound cellphone games so I have no way of knowing how and if those tie in or not to the overall story) Some of the dates are 'estimated' since some information on the dates and ages of the characters is obscure. For the sake of clarity, some minor events have been left out.

Some Fatal Frame IV events have been added and may contain spoilers concerning the game.
