5 Ways To Make Resident Evil 7 The Scariest And Best Experience Possible

5. Buy The 4D Resident Evil 7 Candle

This might sound like a joke, but it isn’t. Sure, it’s absolutely a neat PR stunt, but there is an official Resident Evil 7 candle. Priced around £10 and given the lovely title of “Blood, Sweat and Fears 4D Candle”, this gaming accessory is unlike anything else on the market. Burn the candle and you’ll be treated to the sweet aroma of old timber and blood (for over 20 hours apparently). Sounds wonderful.

How accurate the candle’s scent is remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely many people will be familiar with this one’s particular blend. What’s for sure is that players who game with the 4D candle lit might want to ensure it’s not near any combustible objects - especially if you’re waving your arms around in VR.

If you’re not in the mood for blood and timber (and really, who is?) there are plenty of other scented candle options on the market. Just be aware that the sweet smell of vanilla bean and coconut milk isn’t the mood Resident Evil 7’s dev team were going for.
