Resident Evil Village

Dread and tension

Ethan Winters fights through a snowbound Eastern European village of werewolves, vampire ladies and grotesque lords in first person, blending gothic castle exploration, resource management and punchy gunplay. Each area offers its own flavor of horror, from tense psychological dread to bombastic boss fights.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Dread and tension

A claustrophobic first-person reboot of the series that traps you in the rotting Baker family estate in Louisiana, scraping by on scarce ammo while stalked by relentless hosts and solving puzzles. It trades action spectacle for intimate, grimy dread.

Crow Country

Interconnected level design

A retro-styled survival horror game set in an abandoned theme park, mixing puzzle solving, careful resource management and tense exploration. Its low-poly look and moody atmosphere recall classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
