Resident Evil Village is shaping up to be a truly terrifying experience. We played through the latest demo, Castle, so you don’t have to.
The first Resident Evil Village demo went by the name ‘Maiden’, and acted as a prequel to the whole game. You escape from a horribly dark dungeon to find that everything outside your tiny prison is actually just as disturbing. As you explore through the above castle, you come across hints concerning the nature of this cursed building and, after some light exploration, find yourself at the shocking conclusion of the demo.
The most recent demo sees the player return to this nasty castle, which by the way seems to be part of a twisted wine-making venture that uses human remains in lieu of grapes. However, rather than playing as a nameless maiden you take on the role of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard‘s protagonist Ethan.
The atmosphere in Resident Evil Village is palpable, with every quiet moment that goes by only further contributing to the tension. By the end of the most recent and final demo, I was left breathless, full of anxiety, and more than a little impressed.
If Resident Evil Village manages to maintain this level of atmosphere and terror then it will be a must-play for all horror fans… and it also just might give you a heart attack.
Resident Evil Village launches May 7 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
