2025 Editor's Choice
Capcom, a renowned video game developer, released a survival horror game titled Resident Evil in 1996. The game is set in a fictional city called Raccoon City, where a mysterious virus has turned the locals into flesh-eating zombies. In the game, the player takes on the role of one of two special agents - Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield - tasked with investigating the outbreak and stopping it.

Throughout the game, players must navigate through dark and eerie environments, solve puzzles, collect items, and fight off hordes of undead enemies using a variety of weapons and ammunition. The story of Resident Evil unfolds through various cutscenes and documents scattered throughout the game, revealing the sinister origins of the virus and its link to a shadowy corporation known as Umbrella.

The success of Resident Evil led to numerous sequels and spin-offs, including movies, comics, and novels. Capcom's use of limited resources such as ammo and health items, combined with tense exploration and suspenseful encounters with zombies and other monsters, set a precedent for future horror games. Resident Evil remains a classic example of the genre and continues to influence the video game industry today.
