I clearly remember taking the day off work to play the very first PS1 Resident Evil game, on the day it was released. It’s an experience that’s stuck with me for close to 30 years, and it’s a game that’s very special to me.

I get the feeling that Resident Evil had a similarly strong impact on California-based developer Michael Cosios, the creative mind behind Flesh Made Fear.

The newly released trailer, which you can view above, reveals a game which feels like a real homage to the original Resident Evil, with its style incorporating fixed cameras, low poly enemies and environments, and plenty of luridly coloured gore. It looks like a great deal of campy, jump-scare infused fun, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

With two characters, limited saves, inventory management and a narrative driven by puzzles (as well as plenty of zombie blasting), it really does look like the perfect tribute to the long-dormant formula of the first three Resident Evil games.

Unlike the zombies it features, Flesh Made Fear’s nostalgic style is making a welcome return from the dead, and I shall be adding the game to my Steam wishlist in anticipation of its Q4 2025 release!

You can add Flesh Made Fear to your wishlist too, right here on its Steam store page.
