Story

) is sent out into the surrounding Arklay forest to investigate a recent string of cannibalistic murders. When contact with them is lost, Alpha Team is sent out to investigate – consisting of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Joseph Frost, Brad Vickers , and captain Albert Wesker . They discover Bravo Team's helicopter crashed in the forest, with pilot Kevin Dooley dead at the scene. Alpha Team continue to explore the surrounding forest, but are suddenly attacked by a pack of ravenous Dobermanns .

Joseph is mauled to death, while Brad flees in their helicopter – the survivors flee from their pursuers, eventually taking shelter in a mysterious mansion. One member of Alpha Team (Barry in Chris' story, Chris in Jill's story) is separated and does not make it inside – the player character splits off from the others to investigate noises coming from the west wing, but discover Bravo Team member Kenneth J. Sullivan being eaten by a zombie . When Wesker mysteriously vanishes (alongside Jill in Chris' story), the player is left to explore the mansion alone and attempt to find their allies.

S.. The only Bravo Team survivor, field medic Rebecca Chambers, is rescued by Chris. s) for unknown purposes. The cannibalistic murders were caused by an outbreak of the " Tyrant Virus " (t-Virus for short), a virulent agent capable of turning any species it infects into flesh-eating zombies.

S. to keep an eye on their operations; He also blackmailed Barry into helping him under the threat of Umbrella killing his family, but if Barry survives, he turns on Wesker upon learning that he was bluffing as he betrayed Umbrella for his personal interests. W. super soldier which he calls the ultimate bio-weapon, in order to demonstrate its potential after the survivors mock it as a failure, but his plan backfires as it kills him first before focusing on the player who kills it.

Optionally, the player can save the other playable character from a holding cell if they collected a set of MO disks scattered around the mansion, and if their partner survived (Barry for Jill and Rebecca for Chris), activate the self-destruct sequence for the mansion. The player and anyone they saved escape to a helipad where they fire a flare to signal Brad still flying his helicopter looking for them but the survivors get ambushed by the Tyrant not dead yet and have to survive it until Brad drops a rocket launcher for the player to finally destroy it. Regardless, the survivors of the incident escape the mansion with Brad, with the mansion being destroyed if the lab's self-destruct sequence was activated – if the other playable character was not freed, they are left for dead. The game's ending varies depending on whether the partner and/or supporting character survived; if the former did not survive to trigger the self-destruct sequence, the cannibalistic murders continue, and the Tyrant is now loose in the wilderness.

Canonically, all four protagonists (Chris, Jill, Barry, and Rebecca) survive and the mansion is destroyed.

Gameplay Systems

In Resident Evil , the player chooses to play as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine as they explore the Spencer Mansion to find their missing compatriots and secure an escape route. The environment is presented from a third-person perspective , using fixed camera angles and pre-rendered backgrounds, while the player uses tank controls to move. Certain parts of the environment can be examined, items can be collected, heavy objects can be pushed around, and the player can navigate from room to room using doors, stairs, or elevators. Both characters have different perks: Chris has more health and handles heavy weapons more effectively, while Jill has an increased inventory capacity and starts with a lockpick that opens several locked doors which Chris must find keys for.

Chris and Jill begin with only a survival knife and a Beretta M92FS , and zombies and various other monsters scattered around the Mansion will attack them on sight. While the player can procure other firearms to defend themselves, including a Remington Model 870 and a Colt Python , there is limited ammunition throughout the area, preventing the player from killing everything they come across. Taking damage depletes the player's health, shown on an electrocardiogram in the inventory screen – it can be restored using herbs and first aid sprays, but if the player takes too much damage, they will die and must restart from their last save. The player has a limited inventory capacity of 6 slots as Chris, or 8 as Jill – spare items can be deposited in item boxes found inside various safe rooms, alongside typewriters that let the player use ink ribbons to save their progress.

g. combining two herbs to increase their potency, or making an item needed to progress. Certain items are needed to solve puzzles and either provide the player with more supplies or open new areas. Each character has a supporting partner that joins them during the story – field medic Rebecca Chambers for Chris, weapons specialist Barry Burton for Jill.

Depending on the player's actions, their partner can either die or accompany them throughout the entire game – different endings exist depending on whether the player is able to save their partner and/or the other playable character and escape with them.
