Survival Horror is the horror genre that puts you at a disadvantage and forces you to calculate every step to survive: ammunition, healing items and save points are always scarce while danger lurks around every corner. Instead of power, you rely on evasion, stealth and resource management. Resident Evil (1996) named the genre; later Silent Hill dug into psychological horror, while Outlast removed combat entirely — leaving you a camcorder and your legs to run.
Twenty years after the night he lost his daughter, smuggler Joel takes on a job: escort Ellie — the 14-year-old girl who is the only known person immune to the Cordyceps fungal pandemic — across a ruined America in search of a cure for humanity. But the price of that vaccine is the girl's own life — and Joel has no intention of paying it.
