Game developer Capcom is only releasing a handful of information for "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," and the company is enjoying every bit of it as well. Game fans can really feel the good scares they are having. Now, Masachika Kawata, the game producer, shared some secrets behind the frightening game.

PlayStation Universe reported that on an interview by OPM UK on its 129th issue, Kawata revealed that the game's horror effect is a combination of different factors, and every one of them must work together in order to gain the intended result.

The producer stated, "You need to create situations that combine aspects of shock and surprise with the instinctive fear we all feel for the unknown. Dark rooms that make you fear the possible enemies lurking within, shock scenes like creatures suddenly bursting through windows ... Each little moment adds up to a really good, scary experience."

Kawata also mentioned that "Resident Evil 7" will not have an online feature, adding that horror games are best experienced alone.

Recently, the studio released another trailer titled "The Immortal," and it shows the playable character, Ethan, being attacked by Jack Baker, the head of the flesh-eating Baker family. It took two gunshots before Jack went down, but this was only short-lived. As Ethan was walking along the dark corridor, away from Jack, he turned around and was surprised to see Jack getting up as if nothing had happened.

Now, fans are wondering how they will bring down Jack for good since a handgun does not affect him at all. Even an exploding car does not seem to work. It just makes them more agitated, as the previous demo highlighted.

Meanwhile, a PS VR version will also arrive with the game, but it will only be an exclusive title for a year. The game will then be available to other VR headsets after the said period, as per Segment Next.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is a survival-horror game, and it will arrive on January 24, 2017 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
