It's believed that Umbrella, the creators of the deadly virus that wiped out Raccoon City, has developed a new Bio Organic Weapon on a cruise ship called the Starlight, which is on its way to Europe. One S.T.A.R.S. member, Leon S Kennedy (from Resident Evil 2) was sent out to destroy the weapon, but the team have been unable to contact him since he arrived at the ship. Using a combination of top down side-scrolling action and 1st person shooter, it is your job to get aboard the liner, currently floating in the Atlantic Ocean, destroy the weapon and find Leon. Along the way, you'll come across plenty of deadly undead enemies, similar to those found in the original Resident Evil series, while using a range of weapons and items found in the ship.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a survival horror game where players investigate a luxury cruise ship to find a missing agent and eliminate a Bio-Organic Weapon. Players will likely explore the ship, uncover secrets, and combat monstrous threats in a classic Resident Evil-style premise.
Story
The Horror Looms
In an effort to stop the global operation of the evil corporate entity Umbrella, an underground organization consisting of ST.A.R.S. members and ex-Umbrella employees was formed.
Now, at the clandestine hideout of the underground organization, Barry Burton and an unidentified woman are discussing the mission.
The Starlight Mission
A new type of Bio-Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) developed at Umbrella Labs has escaped and is believed to be on board the luxury cruise ship Starlight. The ship is currently crossing the Atlantic heading for Europe!
Leon S. Kennedy was sent to eliminate the B.O.W. His last report confirmed that he had boarded the Starlight. He has not been heard from since his last communiqué.
Barry can't believe that Leon simply disappeared; he is one of their best ST.A.R.S. recruits. The feedback from base was sketchy at best, but it seemed that Kennedy had made his last contact with HQ shortly after boarding the cruiser, which has since been reported drifting aimlessly in the Atlantic like a ghost ship.
Barry's Recollection
Barry suddenly remembered a poem he learned as a child, which now echoed in his mind:
"I loathe the ocean
and the secrets it holds,
forever deep, dark and cold ..."
For some reason, the words sent a chill down Barry's spine. Had the horrors of Raccoon City surfaced again?
