The Christmas break of 2018. I remember it vividly. At that time, I was deeply engrossed in the content of my then-favorite RU-vidr from my country. And then, on a crisp, misty Christmas morning, I stumbled upon a random video from his Let's Play of Resident Evil 7 Biohazard while I was watching TV. Initially, I didn't think much of it, just considering it another peculiar little horror game. However, as I watched all 20 videos from his playlist in a random order, every night of the holiday season, sprawled on the couch with a bowl of cheese chips and a warm mug of hot chocolate, it became something extraordinary. A year went by, and I found myself revisiting his RE7 videos time and time again, gradually branching out to other RU-vidrs as well. Perhaps it sounds silly, but I yearned to experience the game for myself. So, the following Christmas, I received the game as a gift, two years after its initial release. And I continued to derive immense joy from it. Yes, I knew the basic game and its story, but I still uncovered many hidden secrets and relished the immersion the game offered. The ambiance, the music - this game heightened my awareness of these aspects in every subsequent game I played. I still jumped at unexpected jumpscares that hadn't been revealed in the RU-vid videos. I watched DLCs from other creators, downloaded them, and replayed both those and the base game countless times, unlocking various weapons and items, and collecting trophies. It never grew tiresome because each replay became an experiment in different areas, such as facing Jack, which could still be quite frightening at times XD. Sometimes, I'd pause just to listen again to that incredible ambiance, like the wind in the bridge of the shipwreck. You can imagine my elation when Village was released, and the experience was similar, except this time, I played it myself before watching others' videos. But one day, when I bought my PS5 and wanted to play RE7 once again, I discovered this music in the menu under the game. And something broke within me. I felt like I should burst into tears, but I just sat there, silent and emotionless, staring ahead. I realized that this legendary game would always be superior to its successor and that it would slowly fade into obscurity. Nowadays, I desperately try to find playlists, but I've scoured all of RU-vid. Man, I love this game, deep in my heart. Every year, I play it again during the Christmas break. Now, almost six years after Resident Evil 7 Biohazard's release, I'm going to play it one last time. I'll extract as much as I can from it. I will always remember you in my heart, Resident Evil 7. Thank you for reading this super lengthy story, penned by my inner nerd. I hope you share the same love for this game, and perhaps, I'm not the only one who finds this music so poignant.
Why does this feel scary, sad & a bit calm? I can understand the scary & sadness if you play the game but not once did I ever feel calm while playing RE7 except whenever I got to a safe room & hear that nice music.
I listened through all 81 tracks in the official re7 ost release and this song is not in it nor named, so i literally think its just called the ps4/ps5 theme version of go tell aunt rhody and has no real name beyond that
Anyone know the name of this track like why can’t anyone find it?!? But atleast I know I’m not the only other person who loves it like I use it to go to sleep on bad nights. It’s low key now sentimental
