All of this is identified throughout the narrative. The pioneer in this genre was Capcom, with the Resident Evil franchise.

The acclaimed zombie franchise brings the idea of ​​a failed experiment, and even as players know the story of the palm, the developer can always surprise, featuring new monsters, facts and characters.

But not only Resident Evil survives this genre. In fact, with the popularization of this type of game countless titles were created. All of them based on survival attempts in a frightening world, with few (if any) individuals, on a dark screen, with almost apocalyptic ambiance.
