5 Ways Resident Evil 7 Is The Perfect Horror Game
4. The 'Haunted House' Location
The Dulvey Haunted House is a scary place, man.
Situated on the swamps of Louisiana, the place and its accompanying mood is reminiscent of the first season of True Detective. Obviously there's an old abandoned home, but the aura is more of mystery and crime than abject horror. The house is wooden, decorated with dead crows and baby dolls, which makes everything all the more scary.
The fact that the game takes place in such a small location, as other games tend to get bigger and bigger is actually quite refreshing. You get to play during the night - and one night only - which is also important, as it gives a certain time-limit to your actions, stressing the immediacy of the events.
You have to get out. Now.
