Capcom's finally kicked Resident Evil 7's marketing machine into life, with this officially licensed "4D" candle designed to bring you closer to the game. The silly £14.99/$19.99 smelly is said to carry the scent of "old timber and blood", and is designed to increase your immersion when you play the latest title with PlayStation VR. Honestly, just be wary if you're leaving a naked flame lit while immersing yourself in virtual reality.
"The 4D candle is 100 per cent officially licensed Resident Evil merchandise; this means Capcom have smelt the candle and found it scary to enough to give their seal of approval," explained retailer Merchoid, no doubt while flashing a wry smile. "Be careful though, with an experience this horrifying, the candle might not be the only smell you notice in the room..."
Hah! Toilet humour.

This is kinda strange. I'm not sure why that would really appeal to anyone, especially at that price
It kind of appeals to me... i just feel like the candle ought to be larger
I would get it if i could smell
This seems like a really ill-conceived product. VR combined with lit candles is right up there with the controller that drew blood (Blood Sport) as things that don't mix well with gaming.
@Bluetrain7 ... I can't help but notice that the product page has been pulled since posting this.
A candle that smells like a musty old house mixed with freshly spilled blood.
Really gets ya in the mood for VR horror games.
Awesome! Im in!
Didn't you mean "The 4D candle is 100 per scent officially licensed"?
Well my house already smells of old timber and blood so I won't be needing this.
To be honest, if I do play this in VR, I will need some sort of scent to cover up the consistent bodily emissions I'll be making. Plus a new set of pants.
@DamienVonOslo I liked that ! Also as a fellow Damian we both share the same bad sense of humour apparently!
