The story follows civilian Ethan Winters as he searches for his wife Mia, which leads him to a derelict plantation inhabited by the Baker family. Ethan makes use of weapons and tools in the fight against the Baker family, and the "Molded", a humanoid form of bacteria. Healing items are used in the event of injury and there are puzzles that may be solved to further the story. Instead of being action-oriented like Resident Evil 5 and 6, the survival horror element present in earlier installments took priority. Thus, the game uses a first-person perspective. It is the first full-length game to be developed in the RE Engine.
