Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Banned Footage Vol. 1
Feb 27, 2026 5 months ago
This newly unearthed footage exposes further secrets from the dark past of the Baker family: - Escape a bedroom turned prison cell in "Bedroom" Where would the Baker family be without Marguerite's good ol' home cooking? Having woken up restrained in bed with one of her horrifying meals before you, you must find a way to escape without her noticing. - Fight off waves of bloodthirsty enemies in "Nightmare" Tossed into a basement crawling with lurching black Molded, your only chance is to shoot your way to survival. Keep moving, keep your wits about you, and keep hope alive, and maybe you can survive until morning… - Extra game mode: "Ethan Must Die" Unlike the banned footage chapters, which are linked directly to the main story of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, "Ethan Must Die" hurls you into an entirely separate universe where the Baker mansion has been remade: It is now a trap-laden house of horrors designed to kill any intruder. Prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge!
What it’s like
Banned Footage Vol. 1 offers a disjointed but potent extension to Resident Evil 7’s horror foundation, prioritizing visceral tension over narrative cohesion. The experience is split into three distinct modes: 'Bedroom' delivers a claustrophobic puzzle-chase sequence that leverages the game's signature first-person dread; 'Nightmare' shifts focus to chaotic wave-based survival combat against Molded hordes; and 'Ethan Must Die' transforms the Baker mansion into a lethal obstacle course of traps and puzzles. While the storytelling is minimal, serving merely as flavor text for the gameplay loops, the atmosphere remains thick with dread, supported by immersive audio design and gritty visuals. The pacing varies wildly between contemplative stealth-puzzles and frantic action, creating a fragmented but engaging package. It feels less like a story expansion and more like a collection of high-intensity gameplay vignettes designed to test specific survival skills within the established horror setting.

Keep in mind The narrative content is virtually non-existent, making it feel disconnected from the main campaign's emotional weight. The 'Nightmare' mode relies on repetitive wave mechanics that may feel generic compared to the unique tension of the base game.
