Description
Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say "mass murder," you're plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs.
Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavenged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil.
FEATURES:
Completely uncut, with even more blood, graphic violence and gory scenes than the worldwide monster hit version on PlayStation
A swarm of unknown horrors prowl the mansion's hundreds of rooms, including it's underground lairs, the graveyard and some unwelcoming guest houses
Unprecedented detail-intense texture maps, shadows and lighting effects, plus ever-changing camera angles, create a frighteningly rich 3-D environment.
Choose to play tough guy marksman Chris Redfield or hardcore demolition expert Jill Valentine, both brought to life with realistic polygon character graphics.
Ominous digital surround soundtrack features haunting music that intensifies the action.
Controller support - Whether you own a DualSense*, DualShock 4, Nintendo Switch Pro, Xbox Series or Xbox One controller, you can sit back, relax and play Resident Evil on any of those (wireless mode included).
Compatibility with modern operating systems - Whether you’re playing on a modern rig or an older PC, the game will run smoothly on your operating system and adjust its default settings to match your hardware.
Cloud saves support - Don’t worry about losing your save files either, as your GOG copy comes with support for Cloud saves.

First Resident Evil game will be forever my favorite Resident Evil game. It was love from the first sign to a horror genre.
One big giant scary Mansion interconnected with many paths you discover. It's so well done and thought out. Good story with two amazing characters Chris and Jill. High replayability with both haracters cause you get different perspective from each other eyes and the game feels fresh again. Different weapons and semi pathways.
What Mansion would be without scary environment and monsters. That first zombie you meet will sets up so perfect whats gonna wait for you later on. Be prepared cause this is no regular shooter you will have to survive. If you leave one "dead" zombie body on a ground wait for suprise later on. Every bullet counts. High stakes. Many different enemies wont let you escape alive. Rotting dogs, crows, giant snake, sharks, bees, Hunters, chimeras and of course spiders. Big hairy spiders. The more you progress the more tougher enemies will show up.
Beutiful and haunting location with scary ambients sounds and music and on the top of that you need to think fast and solve puzzles to get out of this area. So many of them and they are well made. Nothing to add more just go and experience this madness yourself. ps. Forgot to mention iconic Inc ribbons ;) They will add to survival experience for sure. 10/10

Resident Evil is a survival horror video game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom. Released for the GameCube video game console in 2002, it is a remake of the 1996 PlayStation game Resident Evil, the first installment in the Resident Evil video game series. The story takes place in 1998 near the fictional Midwestern town of Raccoon City where a series of bizarre murders have taken place. The player takes on the role of either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, S.T.A.R.S. agents sent in by the city to investigate the murders.
Resident Evil was developed over the course of one year and two months as part of an exclusivity deal between Capcom and Nintendo. It was directed by Shinji Mikami, who also designed and directed the original Resident Evil. Mikami decided to produce a remake because he felt that the original had not aged well enough and that the GameCube's capabilities could bring it closer to his original vision. The game retains the same graphical presentation, with 3D models superimposed over pre-rendered backgrounds. However, the quality of the graphics was vastly improved. The remake also features new gameplay mechanics, revised puzzles, additional explorable areas, a revised script, and new story details including an entire subplot cut from the original game.
Upon release, Resident Evil received acclaim from video game journalists, who praised its graphics and improved gameplay over the original game. It is often described as one of the best, scariest, and most visually impressive entries in the Resident Evil series. However, the game sold worse than expected, leading Capcom to change the direction of the series to a more action-oriented approach. In 2008, the game was ported to the Wii, featuring a new control system. In 2015, a high-definition remastered version was released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One to critical and commercial success.
