The Forgotten Blueprint For Resident Evil

Most gamers know Resident Evil as the game that defined survival horror. But few realize its DNA can be traced back to an obscure Japanese horror film and the surprisingly ambitious video game adaptation it inspired. Sweet Home introduced mechanics that would become the foundation of the survival horror genre: limited inventory, environmental puzzles, resource management, permanent character death, and terrifying exploration through a haunted mansion. Years later, Capcom set out to remake Sweet Home...only for that project to evolve into something entirely new: Resident Evil. #residentevil #residentevil4 #sweethome #nerdstalgic
