There are various notes to be found in the castle, which give some background info on the vampire ladies that live in the castle from the perspective of a butler as well as their “wine-making” practices. This is where the demo really takes off, as you’re stalked by an unseen voice while you desperately try to escape the estate. The dungeon has a few puzzles that are quite similar to those of Resident Evil 7, requiring bolt cutters and lockpicks to enter new cells and to escape to the main castle. “ Blood-stained teacups and a door with a porcelain face both felt perfectly at home in the Resident Evil series, as the castle itself feels like the next Spencer Mansion or Baker Estate.“ Medieval torture devices, bloodstains, bones, a woman with bolt clippers in her back, and even a limbless hanged man are all scattered throughout the dungeon, establishing the freaky atmosphere that Maiden is drenched in. As I checked each room in the dungeon, the set dressing became increasingly more haunting. As I ascertained how to escape the cell into the next room, a creeping sense of macabre curiosity came over me. As the maiden, you awaken in a dungeon cell accompanied only by a sense of fear and a hastily-scrawled note. The Maiden demo has you play as the titular maiden instead of recent series protagonist Ethan Winters. I played through the short demo fairly quickly, and if its tone and background information are anything to go by, Village should be a spookily delightful title.
Capcom just released the Maiden demo for Resident Evil: Village on PS5 systems, and as someone who’s really looking forward to the game’s May release, I had to check it out.
