Scary, $5 Retro FPS Perfectly Captures Classic Resident Evil Vibes

Nightmare of Decay is a bit rough around the edges, with some wonky AI and occasional bugs. But I found these issues elevated the sense of dread I got while playing this unpolished but spooky FPS. It’s also only a few hours long, like the Resident Evil games that inspired it.

But for only five bucks, this is a damn good horror game that perfectly captures a lot of what made the original Resident Evil so scary and good back in 1996. And somehow, it’s also a perfect game for folks who prefer more modern-feeling video games in 2022.
