A art cell of Leon S. Kennedy
The game follows Leon S. Kennedy as he searches for the President's daughter in a small Spanish village, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare scenario filled with hordes of undead and other sinister creatures.
Gameplay is fast-paced action-adventure, where players control Leon as he navigates through the village, fighting off enemies and solving puzzles to progress through the story. The game features an "over-the-shoulder" third-person shooter mechanic that has become a staple of modern action games.
