Resident Evil: During the Storm

Setting and Narrative Focus

The atmosphere plunges players directly into the early stages of the Raccoon City incident. Instead of the main protagonists of the original title, players step into the shoes of Kevin, a character originating from the Outbreak series. The narrative thrust involves resisting threats both inside and outside the confines of the Raccoon Police Department (RPD), a location central to the outbreak lore. The focus is heavily placed on the immediate aftermath of the outbreak's beginning.

What are the Core Gameplay Mechanics?

The experience is defined by several new gameplay mechanics designed to heighten the tension and strategic depth. Resource management is critical; players must carefully manage the limited supplies available to survive the escalating crisis. A key feature involves protecting non-player survivors. The success or failure of these individuals directly impacts the player's progress and the overall outcome.

The Impact of Time and Choice

A defining feature of this modification is the integration of an internal timer that governs the flow of events. This mechanic means that when an action is taken is just as important as what action is taken. Player choices are not isolated events; they ripple outward, leading to dozens of potential story outcomes based on timing and decisions made regarding resource allocation and survivor protection. This introduces a high degree of replayability centered on exploring different narrative paths.
