Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition

-### Deluxe Edition Contents

* **Full Base Game:** The complete Resident Evil Requiem experience.

* **5 Character Costumes:** * **Grace:** "Dimitrescu" (inspired by Lady Dimitrescu from *RE Village*) and "Film Noir."

    * **Leon:** "RE4" (classic 2005 look), "Apocalypse," and "Film Noir."

* **2 Visual Filters:** "Apocalypse" (desaturated/harsh) and "Film Noir" (classic black and white).

* **4 Weapon Skins:** Includes the "S&S M232: Apocalypse" and others.

* **2 Charms:** "Mr. Raccoon" and the "DSO Emblem."

* **Audio Pack:** "Raccoon City Classic," which replaces modern sounds and music with retro audio cues from the original games.

* **Files:** "Letters from 1998," which are lore-heavy text files that connect the game's story back to the Raccoon City incident.

### Gameplay Overview

* **Dual Protagonists:** You play as **Grace Ashcroft**, an FBI analyst specializing in survival horror (slower-paced, puzzle-focused, scarce resources), and **Leon S. Kennedy**, a DSO agent specializing in action (high-octane combat and roundhouse kicks).

* **Dual Perspectives:** While Grace’s sections default to first-person and Leon’s to third-person, the game allows you to freely toggle between both perspectives at any time.

* **Setting:** The game returns to the remnants of a Midwestern city near the site of the original Raccoon City disaster.

### How to Play

1.  **Perspective Choice:** Start with the default views to experience the intended "fear" level for Grace and the "power" level for Leon, but switch if you prefer a consistent style.

2.  **Resource Management (Grace):** Her sections require careful inventory management. Puzzles often involve finding specific keys (Sun, Moon, Star) while dodging localized, unkillable threats.

3.  **Action Combat (Leon):** Leon can resharpen his hatchet at any time, unlike Grace’s breakable knives. Use his physical strikes to clear crowds and save ammunition.

4.  **Crafting:** Both characters use a crafting system to turn basic materials into health and ammo, though Grace relies on it more heavily for survival.

### Strategies for Success

* **The "Good Ending" Path:** Pay attention to the **Letters from 1998**. Finding and reading all the lore files throughout the game is required to unlock a special, rare charm.

* **Save the Stunts:** On defense as Leon, use line stunts and twists to confuse enemy clusters. Avoid rushing straight into large groups of zombies without a plan.

* **The Shadow Stealth:** Use the Film Noir filter to help highlight flickering shadows; it can make spotting movement in dark hallways slightly easier due to the high contrast.

* **Conserve as Grace:** Don't kill every zombie you see as Grace. Sometimes, it is better to take a single hit or use a defensive item to pass through a room rather than spending your limited ammo.

* **Weapon Maintenance:** Always check your gear at workbenches. Leon’s hatchet dulls with use, and a dull blade is significantly less effective in a scramble.
