Those who want to complete the experience when playing the new video game will find the Resident Evil 7 4D VR Wax Candle to be a great way to do so. Officially licensed by the brand, the candle allows users to create an ambience that is rustic and more immersive.

The candle is purported to smell like a mix of old timber and leather, and helps to further stimulate the senses when it comes to playing the [VR video game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-latency-vr). Being that smells can't be rendered just yet by VR headsets, the candle comes as a logical way for gamers to help further immerse themselves in the experience by stimulating all their senses.

The Resident Evil 7 4D VR Wax Candle will offer up to 20-hours of burn time, which should be plenty for gamers to finish the game.
