The New York Times • • technology
Key Points:
- Resident Evil Requiem returns to the series' classic puzzle-box style, featuring interconnected rooms, hidden hallways, and tense survival moments reminiscent of the original 1996 game.
- The game is set primarily in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, an old sanitarium turned bioengineering lab, where characters Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy confront the sinister plans of Victor Gideon.
- The narrative is secondary to the gameplay, which focuses on navigating dark corridors, solving puzzles, and evading zombified residents trapped in a haunting, suspended animation state.
- Zombies retain eerie remnants of their former lives, such as maids scrubbing blood-stained floors and divas singing discordant arias, enhancing the game's unsettling atmosphere
