When the free-to-play mobile spinoff Resident Evil Survival Unit quietly launched last November, I distinctly remember a lack of chatter around it. Resident Evil is one of my all-time favorite franchises, and even though it looked, smelled, and quacked like a generic mobile game wearing a Resident Evil skin, I still had to know if it was any good. And from what little I could find online, that did not appear to be the case, and so I quickly moved and forgot about it.
Now here I am, writing a story about how its developers literally monitored play testers' brainwaves to make sure the game was sufficiently scary, and suddenly I'm scratching my head wondering if I'm thinking of the right game. But no, it's the same poorly reviewed mobile game from South Korea-based studio JOYCITY, and it's most definitely not considered a scary game.
