Alex Aniel, a huge fan of the Resident Evil series, spoke with the creators of the game and restored the complete chronicle of events that took place during the development of various parts of the series. “In 1996, the world discovered the game that created the survival horror genre. Resident Evil had it all: cool characters and enemies, atmosphere, survival, and a twisted plot. This book will allow you to dive into the history of its creation. After all, behind every game stands not only the idea but also a team of developers.” — The team at the fan site www.residentevillive.ru “In 26 years, Resident Evil has managed to flip the entire gaming industry more than once.
