Resident Evil 3 #2

Resident Evil 3 — slow playthrough — no commentary! — part 2.

A series of strange disappearances have been occurring in the American Midwest within a place called Racoon City. A specialist squad of the police force known as S.T.A.R.S. has been investigating the case, and have determined that the pharmaceutical company Umbrella and their biological weapon, the T-Virus, are behind the incidents—though they’ve lost several members in the process. Jill Valentine and the other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members try to make this truth known, but find that the police department itself is under Umbrella’s sway and their reports are rejected out of hand.
However, soon reports of a grisly “cannibal virus” begin to surface, and vicious dogs begin roaming the streets. With the viral plague spreading through the town and to her very doorstep, Jill is determined to survive.
However, unbeknownst to Jill, an extremely powerful pursuer has already been dispatched to eliminate her.

The original game, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released in September 1999, and has gone on to sell over 3.5 million copies as of September 30, 2019.
Just like its predecessor, Resident Evil 2, the game is set in Raccoon City, a city overrun by a whole new kind of biological threat, but this game illustrates the outbreak and conclusion of the incident.
It follows the protagonist Jill Valentine as she fights to escape her pursuer, the Nemesis T-Type, and offers a new kind of survival horror which plays off the fear of being constantly and relentlessly chased.

Jill Valentine
Having undergone Delta Force training made Jill a natural fit as Rear Security for the Raccoon Police Department’s special forces team, S.T.A.R.S., and her knack for picking locks and handling explosives have proven equally useful making her an especially outstanding team member. However, Jill is one of few surviving members after the team saw numerous losses to the shambling corpses and monstrous creatures they encountered while investigating reports of missing persons in what has become known as the Mansion Incident.
A survivor of that incident, Jill is determined to continue investigating Umbrella, the creators of the deadly T-Virus at the heart of the incident, but her investigation has been impeded by a suspension and an order to remain at home. What’s more, her apartment appears to be under round-the-clock surveillance. The entire city seems to be under Umbrella’s control, with the police force being no exception. Jill has decided to escape from her confines in Raccoon City in order to bring Umbrella’s evil to light, but this may not prove so simple…

Nemesis
This hulking monstrosity was dropped into Raccoon City amidst the panic of the spreading infection.
A gigantic figure shrouded in black and delivered via a heavily reinforced capsule, this new Umbrella-made bioweapon is based on the formidable Tyrant series, iterating to address its few weaknesses. Two vast improvements in particular stand out: its ability to make decisions for itself, determining how best to achieve its goals; and its regeneration abilities, allowing it to continue stalking the battlefield no matter what harm may come its way.
Nemesis was given one mission: Exterminate all remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. in Raccoon City. Their knowledge about Umbrella is too great a threat, and must be eliminated.
Nemesis has begun stalking its prey and set its sights on its first target: Jill Valentine.
