ORIGINS OF SURVIVAL HORROR: Sweet Home
In this mini-series, Origins of Survival Horror, we’re going to explore the games that preceded Resident Evil (the game that coined the term), but that were already full-blown survival horror games through and through. Today, with this inaugural episode, we start our sojourn through the annals of Survival Horror history with the predecessor, the game that Resident Evil was originally intended to be a full-blown remake of: Sweet Home, the 1989 Japan-only Famicom Horror JRPG that was released alongside the Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie of the same name. This is a fascinating piece of video game history and still, to this day, a phenomenally good game on its own!
