Item Description

"Enter the survival horror." Those words on the title screen gave a genre its name, and Resident Evil backed them up with one of the most influential games of the 1990s. Shinji Mikami and Capcom took the idea of a haunted house and filled it with biology instead of ghosts, and the result reshaped what console horror could be.

It is 1998 in the Arklay Mountains outside Raccoon City. The S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team goes searching for their missing Bravo Team, gets chased by monstrous dogs into an isolated mansion and discovers the doors locking behind them. You choose between Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, and the choice matters: Jill carries more items and has a lockpick, while Chris is tougher but has less inventory space, and each meets different allies along the way, with Barry Burton backing up Jill and medic Rebecca Chambers helping Chris. Captain Albert Wesker, meanwhile, has his own agenda.

Every element of the design builds tension. The fixed camera angles over pre-rendered backgrounds hide what is around the corner, ammunition is scarce, and ink ribbons limit how often you can save at the mansion's typewriters. Puzzles involving crests, keys and hidden switches pull you deeper into the estate, through a guardhouse, underground caverns and finally a laboratory beneath the grounds. And it is full of moments players still talk about: the first zombie turning from its meal to look at you, the dogs bursting through the hallway windows, the Hunters and the Tyrant waiting at the end. Even the cheesy live-action intro and famously stilted dialogue have become part of the game's charm.

Resident Evil launched a franchise that has run for decades, but no remake or sequel has quite replaced this first PlayStation release. The tank controls, the eerie silences and the fear of opening a new door all feel exactly as they did in 1996, and it is the starting point for every Resident Evil story that followed.

About the game

Resident Evil is a survival horror classic in which a group of special forces agents, known as S.T.A.R.S, struggle against hordes of zombies and various other mutants in a mysterious mansion as they try to uncover the truth behind the terrifying infection. The gameplay environment consists of polygonal 3D characters placed over pre-rendered 2D backgrounds. As such, the game relies on pre-determined camera angles for a view of the action instead of a real-time camera like most games. The game is credited for coining the phrase "survival horror" and popularizing the genre.
