About

This newly unearthed footage exposes further secrets from the dark past of the Baker family: - Escape a bedroom turned prison cell in "Bedroom" Where would the Baker family be without Marguerite's good ol' home cooking? Having woken up restrained in bed with one of her horrifying meals before you, you must find a way to escape without her noticing. - Fight off waves of bloodthirsty enemies in "Nightmare" Tossed into a basement crawling with lurching black Molded, your only chance is to shoot your way to survival. Keep moving, keep your wits about you, and keep hope alive, and maybe you can survive until morning… - Extra game mode: "Ethan Must Die" Unlike the banned footage chapters, which are linked directly to the main story of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, "Ethan Must Die" hurls you into an entirely separate universe where the Baker mansion has been remade: It is now a trap-laden house of horrors designed to kill any intruder. Prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge!

Sadly it's all too brief and only stands up to one playthrough, realistically. I'd definitely be up for a dedicated bundle of a half dozen vignettes like this, though. It utilises and clearly understands exactly what it has in Resi 7's best element – the twisted Baker family – and keeps its hands clean of the excess that characterises Resi 7's final act.

Like matriarch Marguerite's dishes, bonus mode Ethan Must Die will prove an acquired taste, but the two other VHS tapes included with Banned Footage Vol. 1 are a delight. Nightmare serves up some surprisingly smart arcade action that fans missing Mercenaries will surely enjoy, while Bedroom is brilliant puzzle sequence that subverts the rules of the main game in order to create a real sense of tension without requiring any enemies at all. There's no question that had this content been incorporated into the main campaign it would have been an even stronger package overall, but as a standalone it's still easy to recommend.
