EBOLA VILLAGE Reviews
Ebola Village contains moments that, if developed further and without the Resident Evil skin, could be part of at least a noteworthy indie survival horror game.

EBOLA VILLAGE delivers a tense, old-school survival horror experience that prioritises atmosphere over action, and for the most part, it succeeds. While the story is light and the game could benefit from some additional visual polish, its unsettling environments, brutal combat and audio design do a great job of keeping the tension high whilst playing.
Ebola Village is a shameless imitation of Resident Evil Village and in some ways that has something to it. The inspiration is clearly taken from the Resident Evil franchise. Technically it is a mess here and there and that also causes hilarity at times. Are you looking for a great horror game? Then you should ignore Ebola Village. Are you looking for the Temu variant of Resident Evil and just want to be entertained? Then add another point and immediately purchase the entire series. We have now done that too.

Sadly and not so shockingly, Ebola Village isn’t going to be the title that dethrones any of the kings of horror. And looking at it, did any of us really think it would be? There are flashes of good in the game, but for the most part, it just feels like a painfully phoned-in Resident Evil Village clone with a poor excuse for a story and some unintentionally shocking and funny things going on in the rather short run time. I knew I was in for a ride when the game gave me an option to watch a movie. I assumed it was the intro, so I chose to watch it, and the game just opened up my browser and started playing a bizarre live-action short film based on the game, which was oddly hosted on a Resident Evil fan channel on Youtube rather than implemented in the game itself. Whatever strange puzzle-coded apartment you live in, I wouldn’t recommend you leave to venture out to Ebola Village, not even to save your family. Instead, save your money and pick up literally any other bigger-name horror game, and you’ll have a better and more cohesive time. Now, excuse me while I go get hepatitis and try to immunize myself from this series.
