Your 30-minute romp around the halls of Castle Dimitrescu will offer up a more claustrophobic experience. Lady Dimitrescu's lodging is full of narrow hallways and cramped corridors that make it difficult to tell what could be around each corner.
The final demo period will consist of 60 minutes of you freely exploring both areas - the Village as well as the Castle.
Sharing the experience and speculating on what secrets the full game holds are welcome and encouraged.
Resident Evil Village launches on May 7, 2021.
