Resident Evil Village

What's it about?

Resident Evil: Village is a first person horror game set in an alternate world of monsters and mystery. Players assume the role of Ethan Winters as he, his wife Mia, and baby daughter Rose settle into their new lives. However evil forces gather to target Rose, and Ethan finds himself stranded in a remote village under attack by lycanthropes. Facing the darkness, he sets out to rescue his daughter.

What to expect

Resident Evil: Village is a horror game that uses gory violence to shock and disturb. It also generates tension and horror from occult imagery, scenes of historic violence, and the bizarre mutations of its enemy creatures. Dark environments, cramped quarters, and a restrictive first-person view add to the sense of tension. Ethan is also a vocal character, with gasps of pain or fear adding additional realism. Alongside the sinister environments and supernatural enemies, graphic violence, cruelty, and injury are used to create a hostile tone. The casual viciousness of its antagonists, and the gory violence they inflict are particularly likely to shock and disturb younger audiences, including teenagers. For these reasons, Resident Evil: Village is restricted to adults aged 18 years and over.
