An ordinary man must embark on a search to find his missing wife that leads him to an abandoned house where a mysterious family lives who harbor an evil secret within the house and themselves.

Following the more action-oriented Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil 7 returns to the franchise's survival horror roots, emphasizing exploration. The player controls Ethan Winters as he searches for his wife in a derelict plantation occupied by the cannibal Baker family, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. It is the first main series game to use the first-person view.—Anonymous

Ethan Winters finds out his wife Mia has gone missing somewhere in Louisiana. Unknown to Ethan: Mia's being held captive by The Baker Family, a Southern family seemingly deranged and openly hostile to the outside world, except for their daughter Zoe, who may yet help Ethan out of this mysterious nightmare he's gotten himself into. In a race against time and The Bakers, Ethan will do whatever it takes to save Mia from her captors and get out of Louisiana alive, or die trying.—Johnny-the-Film-Sentinel-2187
