New Horror Game Has Serious Resident Evil Vibes

While games like *Sweet Home* (1989) and *Alone in the Dark* (1992) laid some of the groundwork, the 1996 video game *Resident Evil* is generally credited with popularizing the term “survival horror.” *Resident Evil* has continued to be a major influence on the genre, inspiring titles like *Silent Hill* and *Tormented Souls*, and it’s now inspiring a new wave of survival horror games.
