Free Resident Evil Fan Game 'The Arklay Chronicles' Gets Released
The gaming community is awash with dedicated fans who are not only passionate about video games as they are, but are prepared to go that extra mile for them. There are many fan-made remakes and mods such as Skywind and Black Mesa that take the original concept and expand upon it, sometimes even improving things. The Resident Evil franchise is no different, and independent developers are keen to take what Capcom has put out and offer up their own twist on things, which can sometimes include creating entirely new games from scratch.

A release trailer shows some of the familiar locations that form the game's story, including the Spencer mansion. It also shows that it plays from an over-the-shoulder perspective, similar to Resident Evil 4 and the remakes of 2 and 3.
