Resident Evil 4's Inventory Management Is Now Its Own Puzzle Game
An indie developer has released a project called Save Room — Organization Puzzle on Steam, which turns Resident Evil 4's inventory management system into a game of its own.

It should come as no surprise, then, that someone thought to emulate that feeling in a standalone experience.
