8 Details That Will Make Resident Evil 7 Truly Terrifying
2. Supernatural Elements
As well as a new perspective from which to experience Resident Evil 7's horror, there's also hints of something else new to the series within the Beginning Hour demo for the game.
A VHS tape found within the demo leads to a playable section where we take control of a cameraman as part of a location scouting for a TV show. During your exploration of the house there are several locations where a ghost can be seen.
Although the supernatural has been teased in previous Resident Evil games, from notes and diaries found around the Spencer mansion and Raccoon City, to the cult behavior found in Resident Evil 4, the series' horror has always been firmly grounded in science. With biological agents proving to be the source of the various creatures you come across.
After the first confirmed sightings of an actual supernatural being, namely the ghost in the demo, perhaps it shows that in Resident Evil 7 we'll have supernatural threats to deal with, as well as biological ones.
