Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say “mass murder,” you’re plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs.
Game Details
About this game:
Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavenged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil™.
The iconic classic is back, better than ever, and made to last forever. Here’s how we ensured it and what you can expect with GOG’s version of the game:
– Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
– All 4 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Japanese).
– Improved DirectX game renderer.
– New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more).
– Improved timing of the cutscenes.
– Improved game video player.
– Improved game registry settings.
– Issue-free game exit and task switching.
– Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.
Our version of the game keeps all the original content intact – 1996’s description is no exception. Take a trip down memory lane and see how Resident Evil™ was described to gamers when it launched all those years ago:
FEATURES:
– Completely uncut, with even more blood, graphic violence and gory scenes than the worldwide monster hit version on PlayStation
– A swarm of unknown horrors prowl the mansion’s hundreds of rooms, including it’s underground lairs, the graveyard and some unwelcoming guest houses
– Unprecedented detail-intense texture maps, shadows and lighting effects, plus ever-changing camera angles, create a frighteningly rich 3-D environment.
– Choose to play tough guy marksman Chris Redfield or hardcore demolition expert Jill Valentine, both brought to life with realistic polygon character graphics.
– Ominous digital surround soundtrack features haunting music that intensifies the action.

Hello everyone.

You are always welcome 😀 have fun!
It’s finally working on Win7. Thanks.
Glad to know 😀 have fun

Will this work with Seamless HD Project?
Not sure sorry 🙁
Could you share the files with multilingual? Normally, GOG offers subtitles in French and German. On yours, the installer is in French then the games are all in English…
We only test english version so not sure if other languages are included 🙁
Hello
You said:
– All 4 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Japanese).
But impossible to find how to change language.
Thanks for your help.
We only test english version so not sure if other languages are included 🙁
can we chose the japanese version
Do you mean just download the jap version? Yes by just selecting it on your client
I was so hype when I saw this but maybe 15 min into the game I get a force crash as soon as I open the door at the corridor at the end of where the 2 dogs jump in from windows and I cant progress any further.
win7 x64 can not run
Same here. Oddly, Resident Evil 2 works perfectly.
It happens to me too, it gives me an error when starting, to solve it I added the patch rebirth+ddraw.dll and now it opens perfectly
but the problem exists… and I suppose it shouldn’t be like that but Win7 is probably not compatible…
Thank you for your great work
You are always welcome 😀

Why is my downloading speed only 50 KB/s?! >>>:

We have updated the Japanese version to 1.0 hotfix
How can turn the game in french ?
Sorry not sure if this supports FR 🙁
I have a question:
Is the hotfix in “Resident Evil v1.0 hotfix + Jap [GOG]” for Japanese one or for english one? Because you seperate the hotfix and Japenese files there.
It has both jap and English
Guys we have updated the game with Japanese version please check

Guys, We have updated the game images sorry for the confusion (we are also confused) 😀 Thanks for the clarification
No biggie. You guys do great work.
Thanks for your understanding 😀
Just to clarify: The images in the “game media” tab are from the “Resident Evil HD Remaster” version, but this version here is the original one (from 1996/1997). So, do not expect the same grafic quality from the images.
Anyone Using a Dual Sense Controller Download ds4windows i use a ps5 controller via bluetooth and usb on my laptop it makes the computer think its a xbox controller and it works perfectly with this game and every game ive played

Those screenshots are from the wrong game. This is a PC build of the PSX game, not the GCN. That game is 17GB. This one is tiny.
The screenshots posted are incorrect, this is RE classic for PC, not the remake version
But this is the Classic game on GOG
I can’t believe this, damn this time I buy it, but thanks to you I know they realized, I’ll wait for dino crisis.
Glad to know. have fun!
