Director Koshi Nakanishi, who has worked on Resident Evil games since 2012, created the game’s frights over six years of development. Nakanishi consumes horror media including “The Substance,” “The Shining,” and “The X-Files.” The game’s antagonist Victor Gideon, with steampunk-style headgear, draws inspiration from classic horror. Nakanishi varies tempo and rhythm to create unpredictability, stating that continuous exposure to the same experience creates numbness in players.
