[Beep! Detected high blood pressure, high heart rate, rapid breathing, adrenaline overload... You have been automatically disconnected from the motion-sensing pod!]

At the sa ti!

Countless players were kicked out of their motion-sensing pods!

Strears from all corners were collapsing in frustration, screaming in agony, so even crawling out of their pods!

Because they helplessly watched their left hands being forcibly sawed off by a chainsaw, dropping with a thud into a pool of blood!

It was shocking.

Absolutely shocking!

Once, players thought the peak of psychological terror was just Lisa turning off the lights, and the limit of physical fear was a deranged doctor cutting off fingers.

But with the launch of Resident Evil 7, and this very scene playing out!

The fusion of psychological and physical terror exploded instantly at this mont!

Pure Black’s throat was hoarse from yelling: “What? Huh? I... I seriously... lost my hand?!”

Qiezi was so scared he laughed uncontrollably: “Goose goose goose, what the hell is this! Are they seriously changing it to chopping off hands? I’m freaking out goose goose goose goose...”

Ayin, still shaken, questioned his soul: “What the hell is this? Seriously? What kind of ga is this? I... start with a missing hand?!”

Pew’s language system completely crashed, spewing nonsense:

“Ohhhhhhh—fvvvvvk! Jesus! OMG! Thank you! Thank you, Mia! Shit! WTF—!!!”

anwhile, in livestream chats and forums, viewers erupted in uproar—

‘What the hell is this absurd plot? They really sawed it off?’

‘Breakup (literally)!’

‘I’m dying laughing, this is such a hardcore breakup!’

‘When I saw my hand fall to the ground, my brain just shriveled.’

‘Wait... your company’s gas... have always been this unstable ntally? What? Golden Wind’s ga? Oh, never mind then...’

‘What grudge does Old Thief have against hands?!’

Good news: no more fear of finger cutting; bad news: the hand is gone.

This is just too sinister, I’m losing it, hahaha...

‘Who the hell makes a ga where the main character loses a hand right at the start?’

‘I can’t take it anymore, I seriously have to buy this ga. The level of wickedness here is practically god-tier.’

‘I get it now! The previous PT and Escape were just tests! This is the true form of Old Thief’s horror gas!’

‘This guy is truly twisted...’

‘Good thing he makes gas, otherwise he’d be no good to society at all...’

Players were all fired up.

No doubt!

This was the most unique Resident Evil ga they had ever played!

Compared to the much-maligned Resident Evil 5 and 6, this global top-tier horror IP personally crafted by Gu Sheng and the Steel Chain Fingers team instantly dominated the global gaming surge with its terrifying atmosphere and a plot that could only be described as downright sinister.

Moreover!

Forget about the failures of the fifth and sixth installnts or Kora’s heavily funded Silent Hill 2 reboot.

Even Golden Wind’s own previous story-driven horror masterpieces, PT and Escape, were clearly outclassed by Resident Evil 7.

It wasn’t as suffocatingly oppressive as PT, which scared players off.

Nor was it like Escape, where you had no ti to rest, constantly running for your life.

This was a perfect comrcial work, combining a chilling atmosphere with enjoyable gaplay.

One could say it was—

......

“...a horror ga beyond words, like a roller coaster, I don’t know if you guys can understand.”

Up in the attic!

Pure Black was wiping his severed left hand, his voice hoarse but brimming with excitent!

“It’s a ga with clear peaks and valleys; the terrifying monts hit like a roller coaster sprint, then after the rush, you climb another hill. Like now, huff—"

He took a breath and stepped onto the attic ladder:

“I seriously don’t feel scared anymore, actually, I kinda want to laugh, hehehe...”

“Of course, maybe it’s because I have nothing left to fear.”

He pushed open the wooden door in the attic and entered a small room.

Then ca an exclamation of delight:

“Ohhhh! Bullets! Guns! Holy crap!”

There, on a dilapidated desk in the small room, were a box of bullets, a bottle of first aid dicine, and an M1911 pistol.

A gun at last!

Finally, so justice!

One day, I can actually get a gun in Old Thief’s horror ga!

Everyone knows fear cos from insufficient firepower.

Now that I have a gun, what kind of horror ga still scares ?

“This is freaking invincible! What do I have to be afraid of now?”

“What? A flag? What kind of damn flag is that? A horror ga with guns can it still be called horror?”

In an instant, Pure Black straightened his back!

He stood tall, energized, even his steps beca lively.

“Bring it on!”

With a shout, Pure Black flung open the door, striding with reckless abandon, heading to the attic warehouse where Miles escaped the mansion:

“Familiar territory, I’ve been here so many tis already. Though it seems the ladder’s moved a bit.”

He shone his flashlight around.

As he said, compared to the demo, the small warehouse hadn’t changed much.

The only difference was the ladder that used to lead to the skylight was now under a hidden door.

“Should be climbing the ladder, right?”

He looked around again but found no other way, so he climbed the ladder.

“Ah... just not having a left hand is so inconvenient. This ladder is hard enough... wait?!”

Just as he was about to reach the hidden door!

Doo doo doo doo doo—

The faint sound of a motor idling suddenly echoed from behind the door, directly above his head!

“What... is that sound?”

Pure Black swallowed nervously and instinctively started to back down the ladder.

However, just as he began to move!

Tat tat tat tat tat!!!

The explosive roar of a chainsaw burst through the cramped warehouse!

Then!

With flying sawdust and swirling dust, Pure Black watched helplessly as a high-speed spinning chainsaw cut through the wooden door above, aiming straight for his head!

“F—k! My wife ca out here! Ahhh!!!”

He never expected that the escape route he longed for was already occupied by Mia!

Panicked, Pure Black scrambled backwards, trying to retreat down the ladder!

Because that big chainsaw was right above his head—if he kept going up, his head would be sawed in two!

Sss—

Crack!

Before he could get off the ladder, a crisp snap was heard—the ladder was cut through.

With a thud, Pure Black fell hard to the ground along with the ladder.

Looking up, he saw Mia had jumped down, holding the buzzing chainsaw!

A boss fight!

As expected, there’s always a supply before the big battle.

Golden Wind perfectly followed Resident Evil’s authentic style, ensuring every supply drop could be used imdiately.

Now looking at Pure Black, he had already chambered the pistol, aiming at Mia.

Before, Pure Black probably would have been so scared his legs would give out.

But now it was different!

“Co on! I’ve got a gun—what are you scared of?!”

Pure Black steadied his nerves!

Aid at Mia’s head and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

One shot hit Mia’s forehead, making her stagger slightly.

However, just as Pure Black kept firing, trying to take her down, Mia suddenly jerked her head, twisting her body to dodge his line of fire!

This was a classic Resident Evil tradition. Since the third ga, zombies could read player commands, dodging shots by moving their heads.

This chanic was expanded in the fourth ga. Those who played knew that when the pistol laser sight aid, villagers and zombies would duck and dodge—without good tracking, no one could get perfect hits.

Now, with Golden Wind’s advanced A technology and Madhouse difficulty, Mia’s dodging was infuriatingly effective.

Though her movents didn’t seem fast, her millisecond-level command reading allowed her to dodge seven or eight out of more than ten bullets fired by Pure Black!

“Hey! No way! She’s way too agile! Damn, I shouldn’t have picked Madhouse...”

Seeing his magazine run dry, Pure Black panicked; his earlier bravado vanished!

Because now, as he held his position and fired, Mia was closing in fast!

Another shot hit her shoulder, but she barely flinched, pulling the chainsaw and charging forward!

“Ahhh! No no no! Damn it!!!”

Clack!

Pure Black turned on his heel, trying to reposition, but Mia’s chainsaw bit into his waist!

His vision turned blood-red!

“No no no! Seriously, no! How the hell did she chainsaw ?!”

Pure Black ran helter-skelter, clutching his head, firing backward.

But—

Empty click.

Worst luck piled on top.

The pistol was out of bullets!

“Damn! Reload, reload... ah ah... she’s coming again, damn it!”

Pure Black scrambled to swap magazines.

He hadn’t expected Mia to be so nimble and tough on Madhouse difficulty.

But worse was coming.

Without a left hand, he could only reload with one hand, making the process painfully slow!

To swap magazines, he had to first eject the empty one, pull a new one from his waist with his left arm clamped, then find it with the pistol, insert it into the chamber, and finally slide his sleeve on his left arm to complete the reload.

The audience watching was bewildered—

“Invincible!”

“Hahaha, Young Master is so panicked!”

“That chainsaw sound in a small space is seriously terrifying!”

“Losing a hand debuff is brutal.”

“This reload speed... forget Mia, even Mia’s grandma pushing a wheelchair would fall over!”

“Hahahahaha!”

“Who says having a gun makes it not scary?”

“The gun’s sound and feedback are so weak, it feels like a BB gun.”

“Old Thief is doing this on purpose. If this thing was like Little Helper or McCree’s revolver, players would feel confident.”

“He really knows how to torture players.”

Golden Wind, as veterans in FPS, understood what kind of feedback was exciting and what was discouraging.

“I’m freaking out—chainsaw charge incoming!!!”

......

Amid the chat barrage’s exclamation!

Pure Black finally finished reloading.

But!

Mia charged again, chainsaw raised!

Yes!

Charging!

In the blink of an eye, she reached Pure Black’s front.

“Ah! Ahhh!”

Pure Black turned to flee but had only stepped back halfway!

Thud!

Pinned tightly in the corner of the warehouse, a desperate scream escaped his lips:

“Ahhh! I’m done for—ahhhhh!!!”

An almost perfect recreation of the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw scene with Leon!

Mia’s chainsaw brutally stabbed into Pure Black’s stomach and then upward!

The hyper-realistic visual experience left Pure Black numb all over!

His mind went blank as he helplessly watched himself being sawed from the waist up!

“F—k!!!”

“I’m splitting apart!!!”

[Death]

Indeed!

Only players who reached this point realized the ga even incorporated the death insult from Sekiro, which could be replaced by [Noob]!

Thus!

The horrifying night of screams created by PT and Escape played out once more!

Only this ti, it wasn’t just one night but many!

From Chainsaw Horror!

To Stapler taking over with miraculous dicine!

To the disgusting “sli al” that made players lose their appetite!

Beating the father-in-law, burning the mother-in-law, blowing up the brother-in-law!

The Hand Sanitizer War God bravely venturing into the haunted mansion alone!

One bizarre yet thrilling scene after another unfolded!

Resident Evil 7’s gaplay wasn’t short.

Players couldn’t finish it in one day.

Because of this, its popularity even surpassed Sekiro, becoming the undeniable champion of the latter half-year’s gaming boom!

In essence, Resident Evil 7’s artistry wasn’t as refined as Golden Wind’s previous works like Sekiro or It Takes Two, or even To the Moon.

But undoubtedly,

From a comrcial perspective, it was a god among gods!

The perfect blend of psychological fear and physical horror terrified most players without pushing them away like PT did.

Its lightly suspenseful story, introducing the new E virus and innovating the Resident Evil lore after 4, amazed players and thrilled fans!

Maybe in Gu Sheng’s past life, its level design was criticized as lacking sincerity and a bit clichéd.

But no one could deny that as a comrcial ga, its success and market fit were textbook-level!

Moreover, in this world, Resident Evil 7’s appearance was enough to be called the super coback masterpiece after the fifth and sixth installnts.

Its wildly insane sales proved that!

However!

Before everyone awaited the final weekly sales report for Resident Evil,

Soone unexpected ca knocking with an unexpected collaboration project—
