Masters of Unlocking – A Resident Evil Retrospective traces the series’ journey from the shadowed halls of the Spencer Mansion to its place as a global horror phenomenon, treating every twist and experiment as part of a single ongoing story. Each chapter focuses on one game, uncovering the ideas that shaped it, the design choices that define it, and the reception that greeted it at release.

The book follows Resident Evil from its mid‑1990s origins to its status as one of the most influential franchises in gaming, giving mainline entries, remakes, spin‑offs, films, VR titles, and even its imitators space to show how they push survival horror forward. Rather than ranking winners and losers, it examines each title with a balanced eye, acknowledging both missteps and triumphs to reveal how the series constantly reinvents itself while returning to the same tight, terrifying core.
