In the beginning of the game you witness Jack cut of Lucas’ hand, but later it’s returned to normal.
He’s able to regenerate from mortal wounds over time, becoming a vigilant hunter out for you. Guns, explosions, and even a chainsaw destroying 60% of his body don’t stop him. But surely, they can’t have always been like this, right?Īfter your first fight with Jack Baker, it becomes clear that he isn’t simply killable. After dealing with Mia in the beginning, you’re knocked out and taken to the main residence where you sit down for a disgusting supper and see how uniquely terrifying each member of the family is. The Bakers are homicidal, you learn that right at the beginning of the game. But the cause isn’t something as simple as a zombie outbreak, and it has everyone in the Baker household under its control. It’s the first taste of what lies in wait. Something has infected her, yet it doesn’t seem to have a complete hold as she can return to normal at times. She develops immense strength as she chucks you several feet into a wall.
Her skin becomes veiny, her eyes dark, her teeth rotten. Of course, before heading to help her, you’re reunited with Mia. For some reason, she’s able to resist whatever it is that’s turned her family members into homicidal maniacs and turns to you with clues and assistance. She wants to escape, but she needs your help to do it. While it’s not made clear right away, it turns out that it’s Zoe Baker, the daughter of the family who wants out of this hellhole. When finally returning upstairs, there’s a mysterious phone call from a young woman. You don’t get to see it, but you can hear her terrified screams as you make your way after her. While leading you, she’s taken by someone or something. After trying to escape, the first signs of what’s wrong begin to reveal themselves. She keeps mentioning her family, which is confusing as she isn’t from this area. She has no idea who sent you that email, but she knows that you must get out of this place before things get worse. You find Mia locked in a cell, dirty and frightened. After moving through the house, using the secret passageway to enter the basement and a secret hall. It’s quiet, but you can hear something moving around, though it’s unclear what. But Ethan misses his wife so he heads there, alone.Įntry to the main house is barred by a large, iron gate, so Ethan makes his way through a side passage that leads to the guest house, the very same house where the Beginning Hour demo took place. Mysterious, yes, and downright creepy in a world that saw a mutant outbreak just a few years prior. The email is simple, with no details other than a location. Years later, Ethan gets an email from Mia telling him to pick her up at the Baker residence in Dulvey, Louisiana. The game opens up with a an old video of Mia apologizing to Ethan about lying (though it isn’t clear what she lied about), after which she goes missing during what is seemingly a babysitting job according to her prior video correspondence with Ethan. If you were confused or have questions, however, read on to see what’s really behind the nightmare at the Baker residence. Needless to say, there will be spoilers ahead, so turn back if you’d rather experience the narrative for yourself. We’re going to break down the events of Resident Evil 7, including its mysterious ending. It turns out that it’s much deeper than that. But nobody knows as it can just be some crazy people doing horrific things. However, strange things are happening in a small town called Dulvey, Louisiana, and things seem to be stirring up again. There is fear in the air, but the world has approached a tentative state of peace. Taking place a few years after Resident Evil 6, after the C-virus spread like wildfire and threatened to destroy the world, things are quite different. Resident Evil 7 keeps up with the creepy science that turns men into monsters, and the horror that can lurk right in your back yard.
Of course, the lore behind the Resident Evil series has changed a lot over the years, and that’s something that has become part of the DNA of the franchise. The developers wanted to take the series back to its roots of slow, tense situations where any corner could be deadly, but there wasn’t an overabundance of monsters.
This time around, players find themselves on the Baker estate, a sprawling, plantation-styled mansion full of different puzzles, passageways, and threats. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the latest entry in the long running survival horror series from Capcom.
