6. Sinister Notes That Change As You Play

While there's plenty of things that change in the house between watching the VHS flashback and returning to the future timeline (the appearance of a set of headphones is currently baffling fans), it's the change to a note you find at the start of the game that's the most interesting.

Because soon as you wake up at the beginning of the demo one of the first things you see is a message that reads "I shall dash them against the stones", a paraphrased bible verse. However if you check the note again later the words have been scrawled out and replaced with the much more sinister "I will dash YOU against the stones".

It's only a small change yet it's easily one of the demo's most unsettling moments. Because in Resident Evil 7 you don't get the feeling that you're being chased through the house or hunted down like you were in the original games, but that something is actually toying with you for its own amusement.

And considering the series' history of convoluted experiments and sinister set-ups, it wouldn't surprise us if the events of this demo had been orchestrated just to mess with your character.
