Life isn’t always easy, but for some it throws vastly more hardships and tragedies than others. Alex, your typical survival-horror protagonist faced a life filled with death, loss, and sorrow. Now he must return home to put in order his family’s estate following the death of his step-mother. Upon reaching his family’s estate, rather than the typical vagrants or sinister government conspiracy that would have Alex Jones in a hizzy, he discovers a mysterious group has moved into his old family home.
Not only moved in, but have been undertaking necromantic research with a certain degree of success. Naturally this posses a great danger to Alex who will have to utilize classic survival horror mechanics in order to survive the onslaught of the…undead….reanimated…zombies…*pulls out book of necromantic terms* “The descriptive classification for a reanimated corpse will largely depend upon the methodology and results of said procedures.” Well that was helpful.
Regardless of the proper terminology there will be monsters and players will have to manage their inventory and ammo carefully to avoid an unfortunate death and whatever nightmares may follow given the circumstances. All with classic fixed cameras, inventory management, and Umbrella’s penchant for puzzle making.
Sadly nothing will help recover the property value of the house as getting the stench of rotting corpse out of the floor boards is next to impossible. Gamers can discover another horror experience on February 3rd on the Playstation 4. No word on if nor when it will reach other platforms.
