You’ve battled through five campaigns, twenty four chapters of intense zombie splattering, you’ve decapitated hundreds of them face to face with your fire axe, and you’ve destroyed even more with your combat shotgun or the trusty old AK47 you found in the cold brittle fingers of a corpse you tripped over in the sewer.
In 1992 the small French videogame company Infrogrames made a game set in a Victorian-era New England mansion; where demon dogs, ghosts and other horrors ran riot while Paranormal Investigator Edward Carnby tried to escape with his life and soul intact. The 3D graphics and quirky use of odd camera angles made it an instant classic, inspiring the Resident Evil series and helping give birth to the survival horror genre. A few lacklustre sequels followed before the series underwent a modern day reboot in 2001 with the groundbreaking New Nightmare. Seven years later, the mantle of Carnby has to be taken up in this modern day semi-sequel to the original.
