Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth installment of one of the most popular horror game sagas of all time. This time around, Capcom invites you to go on an intense adventure alongside FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft. As you stealthily explore dark settings, here you will put your courage to the test as you travel every corner of Raccoon City once more in search of answers.
An abandoned hotel and a terrifying atmosphere
In Resident Evil Requiem you assume the role of Grace Ashcroft, the protagonist who wakes up disoriented in a dimly-lit room inside an abandoned hotel. Together, you will need to solve the strange appearance of a corpse lying exactly where her mother passed away years before. This dilapidated building in the legendary Raccoon City will be the starting point of a truly immersive narrative that combines the best of the saga's previous installments to bring a new plot to the fore. Switching between the first and third person, you need to make the most of an endless array of resources to progress through creepy corridors and rooms that never feel entirely safe. That strange sensation of being watched, which is almost felt on your own skin, will be one of the triggers for experiencing fear up close as you try and complete each mission.
A city in ruins that still hides a host of surprises
Another of the notable narrative points in Resident Evil Requiem is how this game connects with other legendary titles from the saga, like Resident Evil Outbreak. Specifically, it is revealed that Grace is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft and now, years later, you return to the sinister hotel where one life ended to start a new investigation. In true survival horror style, in order to progress you need to manage resources, solve puzzles, and defeat strange creatures that will not make things easy for you. Here you need more than stealth, you need to demonstrate your bravery and make the most of every bullet. There's no respite as you will find keys that open doors with a new nightmare hiding behind each one.
Resident Evil Requiem remains true to the saga's past and offers a new investigation, neatly connected with the Resident Evil universe, a tribute to the franchise's 30th anniversary. Through a plot filled with sentiment and gameplay with lots of horrifying surprises, you won't be able to take your eyes off your PC screen for a second, even though sometimes you will have no choice but to close your eyes in fear.
