Identity V
Identity V is a multiplayer horror game for Android, iOS and Windows. Starting on 24 November 2022, the game held a crossover event with Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. Such crossover events are common in mobile games; in the past, Identity V has also collaborated with Death Note, Junji Ito, Danganronpa and many others.
Characters in Identity V are classed as either Hunters or Survivors. Hunters work alone to incapacitate Survivors, while Survivors work in a team to escape Hunters. Each of the 25 Hunters and 38 Survivors in the game has their own skillset and play style, and crossover characters are added as costumes/skins for the existing cast rather than as unique characters themselves. In the Fatal Frame II event, Sae was a costume for the Hunter Geisha, and Mio was a costume for the Survivor Perfumer.
Character icons, images of the characters and abilities can be found on the Identity V Wiki.
